Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
What pisses me off is that they modelled there show off Malcome Douglas with all there segments. They don't come close to being the bushy that man was. I'm pretty sure they just watch MD then go out and try copy it.
"We would get here if it wasn't for TJM......" Bullshlt drive around it ya dikhead.
I still haven't seen them catch a decent fish yet!!!

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
Well Doug, they don't have to show us the stuff ups, they can edit what they want, so I give em the thumbs up!
Better than watching some other numptys yelling "stop the bus!" Or spme other bloke guided to top fish every episode, out of most peoples price range, the whole time advertising the chain of shops he works for/owns. Or that other tool who ambushes some poor bloke in a tackle shop, then makes the poor bloke tell him how good he is, and how good brand x is the whole show.
All for adventure at least has realism and semi normal blokes doing bloke stuff, without a modern fishing uniform on.

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
Would be a good show for down south city folk.
Most the guys up here would see twice as much with half the gear. A touch too much sponsor's gear for me and not enough content in each show with TV and sponsor advertisements
Have seen them with a fair few other 4x4s as support and cameras

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
im with you barratrooper , rather watch these blokes over 90% poo on tv these days. Sure there bit loose and do stupid stuff , but most set up for the camera.
They go to sum bl..dy top places up north, good to see on tv. Every tv presenter in these type shows fishing 4wd gets bagged out by the so called fishing 4wd drive experts.

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
Yeah I like there show to probably the best on normal TV just saying they do some stupid poop.
The Rosie creek track was the worst driving off the roads everywhere trying to make there own tracks wrecking the V8 cruiser in the process breaking winches by not jacking up cars before winching out
Yeah they certainly push there products but that's where there money and gear is coming from

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
The bottom line in any adventure is to never put yourself in a situation when you can drive around instead.
Never run thru deep water when there is an alternative.
I would love to see how they got out of the rollover.
My point is that they put themselves into crazy situations every week. Situations that the average Joe in a 4wd can’t afford to damage.
That’s NOT what 4wding is about
Sponsored or not, they now have 2 seriously damaged or dead vehicles
You can have plenty of adventures without destroying gear.

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
its wat the hole show based on couple bogan aussies doing stupid stuff in real remote places . Its why i like to watch it cause its different and i no they will push the boundrys to stupid, makes worth watching. I dont agree with much they are doing wrecking tracks stuffing there gear etc , but would not watch it if it was another boring old fart telling you wat not to do like ya old man or school teacher. Next you will be saying its bad viewing for our up coming P plate drivers or the guys of hook line and sinker don't take fishing serious enough . Each to there own i guessnomad wrote:The bottom line in any adventure is to never put yourself in a situation when you can drive around instead.

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
If you look at the clip whe he launches in there's already fresh tracks going across, looks like they had a few goes before they could get stuck properly for the camera, we went past where this happened last october the holes they dug were still there, although they could have done as we did and just drive around the mud flat on nice high solid ground only added about 1 km to the drive to the bank launch spot
fish are skinny, the ocean is fat

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
I noticed the amount of tracks going across that little creek. I thought there must be a lot of people driving these remote creeks nowadays.
It is pretty basic not to try and snatch or winch something out sideways. We grew up 4wdriving up here and all we had were snatch straps, shovels and a hi lift jack. Plus sticks and grass. There wasn't very often someone had a working winch. We never had anything fall over.
I think the problem with these guys is they are obviously way too sober...

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
Yeah all them channels are cross able on neaps tides that's why the tracks look a bit faded first big tides there all soft again no different to the mud flats around here ..
Yeah I had to learn the hard way with a hi lift jack and big logs
Agree about the sober part tho they never seem to have a beer even around camp ? Maybe they on the coke? Or glass BBQ????

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
Yeah they are interesting that’s for sure and lots of people watch them (me included). That’s all the networks are interested in.
They must be really switched on to be able to sell the story to the networks and the gear supplier.
Like you say, they could have driven a few hundred m up the road to do the crossing, but then it would be like the other shows.
It would be nice for them to show how to do things properly – if they only knew how to

Re: How not to snatch a vehicle
all about ads, must admit I don't mind the show if it wasn't for all the ads
you must have to be a massive wanker to get a gig on these shows, stop the bus, that Paul Worstelling etc....
