Anyone who goes bush should take a few things with them...better to have it & not need it, then to need it & remember its at home in the shed! Bar tread is ok but its not the greatest, its hell on a main road but you should use an all-rounder but more importantly, be careful when out 4wheel driving & remember to pack a few things: entrenching tool, ropes (11mm), hand winch, pulley, axe & water.
Carry that much & you should be right; great vid,love Ray Mears & Lofty Wiseman work, cheers.
Genius !! he's got such a good demeaner, two thumbs up.
Good advice. Thank you for sharing knowledge..
"Yanks seldom get stuck in there 4x4's Because you never leave the tarmac"
LOL. I'm a yank who actually DOES leave pavement on occasion. You are right. Most 4X4-owning Americans just drive around in their 4X4s to show off. They never EVER leave the pavement! NEVER! LOL (At least where I live.)
You are referring to "flotation" which is part of having good traction on certain terrains. Sometimes it's nice to have a skinnier tire that puts more pressure on a smaller area to cut through. Wider isn't always better, plus a skinnier tire will give better fuel economy on an expedition vehicle, running 35's that are over a foot wide don't do to great for rolling resistance.
ray mears is the fuckin man
If you how power steering you don't worry about your knuckles. His tips are for diesel trucks with gear boxes. Most 4x4's are automatics. Most GM products have an Eaton auto locking rear diff. Letting the tires down 8 or so pounds on sand is imperative for fuel economy and reduced load on the drive train. Good video. Liked it. Steven
I have done quite alot of off road driving in the desert before and sand mats may not be the best idea in some situations, but in that situation its definatly the best.I keep my Landrover in gear 3 nearly all the time.
go out and buy a set and test it yourself.
Well done mate!
it is possible to "swim" to the surface by going slow in low gear and turning the steeringweel front to right too front again slowly.
I've driven on Wet Sand already achieving those high gears is sometimes not possible without the vehicle becoming unstable. I had times had to switch to L4 to get going. Just a little note.
Excellent video. It does bum me out to see the animosity here between the British and Americans. We are brothers who share a language and a way of life... we need remain united and respectful. There are plenty of jerks here in America, as I'm sure there are plenty there, but always remember that good, sensible people are always in the majority.
Lots of love and peace,

Why didn't he try locking the diff'? I realise that he wanted to demonstrate how to get the vehicle out of that situation, but surely the first step would be to lock the differentials and see if you can pull straight out that way?
First of all u need wider tires . When u think put get in the sand first deflate your tyres. If the car have 4x4 with blokable diferential its ok if not lets say like toyota hillux thimk about it but if u are brave enough do it . Check the sand where is white do go there , try to find a red sand as colour for drive if its posibile. if u get stuck put it on low 4x4 and easy start turning steerwheel left and right and easy forwarding . Anyway its better to have a shovel with u or a belt.
@roi432 It comes with only a center lock. Defenders don't come with independant (spelling?) front and rear locks.

No.... not at all. While the cut may be superficial, infection is a major risk. An impact that produces a laceration will also leave a jagged wound behind, something that isnt going to deal for quite awhile. Once it does, it's going to leave a mark. No, you wont bleed to death, but god knows what that mat touched before you.
nicely done old chap :) that yank is running away with his tail between his legs
Sure he could, I'm not saying deflating tires is a bad thing. I do it sometimes, I'm just saying that you don't always need a foot wide deflated tire to run around in cause it's not always practical. If you wanna run on sand only then run some 12" tires at 8psi or whatever, if you are an expedition vehicle that runs on rocks, trails, sand, mud and street it's not always practical to be aired down on fat tires.
People who drive 4x4's do so because of snow. I have a 4x4 because in Canada, the streets get icy and snow-covered easily. 4x4's play a vital role even in the streets.
@theberengersniper Or do they not have differential locks?
