Mrs HYs has done advanced 4wd driving course same as myself, and does a little off road driving but prefers to passenger. We tend to tow the camper trailer most times,and whilst happy going forward, not a fan of reversing. She can handle the manual fine, but IMO, brakes later then I like considering we are about 4T all up. Too used to her zippy SUV. My wife is pretty impressive though, moterbike licence, Airline pilot licence, loves remote camping and is happy to fish croc infested creeks with me in our little tinne.
We are both self sufficient enough to enable return to civilisation if the other becomes incapacitated while remote. I applaud you Cuppa for having the forethought to prepare for the worst, not enough people do this before heading out alone to the greatest parts of this awesome country.
