In a way im glad these two clowns are on TV to show people just what NOT to do. every week i shudder when they do something stupid.
The show should be called "when dickheads are allowed loose"

That's what adventure is all about, taking risks. Everyone having a dig at them, but they are out there living the dream, while we watch them in aircon, and critasise them. I reckon good on em, bloke had a go, got stuck, and his mate did everything he could to help him out. They are sponsered, so loss or damage of gear allows them to take risks we wouldn't. Again, I say good on em! Wish I had the time and $ to get out there and do it to. Reckon they have done more serious 4wd and recovery than 99.5% of us.

They're getting to do some top stuff in top places, I for one would swap jobs with them tomorrow. I've been 4x4ing since the mid 80,s. That was a tricky situation, incoming tide. I've been to some very cool places, but have never had the guts to push things as far as these blokes do, don't have the gear either, so most of my adventure have been by boat.

Yeah would be a great job for sure
Any job where you get to go and wreck your gear and not have to pay for it is winning. ;)
They certainly ain't the best 4wd crew getting around tho they get the selves into a lot of situations that could have been avoided and break hear unnecessarily

Guess you do things you normally wouldn't when you don't have to pay for it eh?
Not the best fishos I've seen either!
