that was absolutely pathetic, would have been so easy to run winch line and extension strap to the bogged car, back the recovery vehicle up and use a couple of straps to attach him to the tree to overcome the brakes not holding issue, and just winch him out, while winching, dig and max trax relocationing would have been out without all the fuckking around

Enjoying the trips
If there's no drama it wont stand out from the crowd therefore doesn't sell, it seems they had their fair share of drama.
One of the blokes did say how stupid it was, got to give him credit for that.
These blokes are OK because they keep the fish they catch so the must be fair dinkum.
It's better than most of the other crap that's on all those channels on the TV.

What I find a little funny about the whole thing is you can see their Camp is right there. It is set up in shot. So if you have another look the water probably got as deep as it was going to get! I don't think it was going to get 1m deep where he was, maybe an optical illusion but in the time lapse from the cab you can see the water got to full depth based on surrounding fauna and the location of camp.
I also agree with the above, back up the recovery vehicle to the winch tree and tie it on from the back then Winch out. Easy recovery really. Double line pull and all over in 10minutes. No time lapse required.
I also agree they go to some really remote places and I'd love their job!!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

No matter your experience, if you are going to go b@lls to the wall, sooner or later you are going to have a mishap. All you can hope for is that the mishap is a minor one and that you have the experience and training to prevent it from getting worse.
