I might add another tip/advice, before you start digging make sure you empty your pockets as the chances are great to lose keys, wallet and other important items
The old fashioned way of getting out :) A great example of why it is best to carry a long handled shovel not a standard shovel. Also a good idea to fill in the holes so others using the beach don't get swallowed by them.
Each to his own, but never liked long handled shovels. As long as you can reach the centre of the vehicle, having a longer handle just makes them more clumsy to use and really annoying in tight spaces.
@@technopsychobedlam Agree 100%. Long handled shovels require more effort with your arms & the extra length is a waste. Average length shovels allow you to get quite flat under the car with it & if you’re in a rush with your digging, the shorter shovel will do the same amount of work much quicker with less (tiring) range of motion.
Ripper Ronnie, was due for some basic tips, was the reason that got me here. Your channel has help me progress from basic issues to full blown trips where all your tips will help you get through. I actually never noticed before but your content builds momentum for full on touring adventures. You are by far the most detailed and real influencer out there and I thank you for helping us enjoy our 4wd’s 🤟
Have a cousin who's family was taking a three month out back trip. Having done a decent amount of touring (5 months across Canada with 2 kids under three, heap of touring in australia) she called me for advice, I recommend watching Ronnie as a family Friday night thing. They are in the nt atm and loving touring and the Dahl styles. They are very much "inner Sydney no idea" ( stereotype but accurate for 90%) but are having a great time via the advice here.
I am on board with everyone else in saying kudos to you for taking the time to film that. This is a video I wouldn’t have done just because bugger doing that digging by choice. Haha
Great video Ronny! A few ideas for other scenarios: - Your manual gearbox stops working properly on a trail. You don't have all the gears. What do you do? - You run out of fuel in the bush. What do you do? - You run out of water in the bush. What do you do? - You damage a tire sidewall and need to change the tire on a technical trail. What's the procedure? - Your car won't start in the morning out in the bush. You suspect the battery is flat. What do you do? - You've got yourself onto a difficult technical trail that's too much for your vehicle or skillset. There's nowhere to turn around. What do you do?
Thanks Ronny, definitely a committing video to make! Very informative and addressing, unfortunately, such a common scenario. Love your work and it always makes me laugh.
Great video. I wish I lived in a place where I could drive on a beach. I don’t. I was bogged down once in Namibia. Dug myself out! Tide was rising, sun was setting. Great memory.
Got almost bogged on that same beach at the lead lights north of Lancelin in a MQ Patrol before you were born Ronnie. In winter that’s a eroding beach meaning steep and soft. Often if trying to walk on it you will sink down to your ankles. It’s a bit better in summer when it’s a depositing beach. Yes it used to be the shortcut to Wedge Island back in the day and it did claim a lot of vehicles including the old VW beach buggies back in the day. Good explanation, thanks for the effort. In Lancelin yesterday myself. 👍
Good tips Ronny . I got bogged at the Pines , i had recovery tracks but down to the chassis so the wheels just kept spinning . In the end it was a rock under the front chassis holding it up so your tips wouldn't have worked . Lucky a pass-a-by was able to tow me out . I can get bogged anywhere easily but it's fun getting yourself out but my misses dosen't think that and gets embarrassed . Yes tyre pressures and in the right 4WD mode is the way to go :-)
#40psigang reporting in. We got -200 Series bois -Toyota 4tuna crew -Rav 4 posse -Subaru soldiers -Backpacker squad The whole team is here. Ready to liberate any beach from the clutches of pleasant driveability.
Hi there, funny thing, I had similar situation last year. I bogged on sandy (wet sand like on this beach) rural road or I rather hanged with wheels in the air coz some machinery from the construction site nearby did a huge ruts probably after rain, much deeper than my stock FJ could bear. I could avoid it driving astride but it was pensive in the dark coming home and usually that road was ok. I had ice scraper only with me doing 80% of job with it. I found it a really good tool. Then I tried to find sth longer for removing sand from under the engine and rest of the belly I couldn't reach with a scraper. I found some board, happily without nails. I aired my tires down, but I didn't know how to check pressure, so I count 20 seconds for every tire only - later I found it gave me around 3 PSI only. I put low gear and after 2 hours on the third attempt I finally crawl out. I was happy like a puppy. It was my first bog. Cheers from Poland.
@ 8:08 So this vehicle as AWD and 4 wheel drive? I didn't know that a vehicle can be shifted to AWD and then it can even act as a 4x4. That's so amazing, we can get best of both worlds! Just wow😁😁
The good thing about this tip is that you're letting air out at the same rate for every tyre so when you do your count you can be pretty sure all tyres will be at the same pressure when you're done.
@@AustinH7 if you don't air down you don't get out! Even if there is no compressor around at 15PSI you can still drive carefully to the nearest town. If you do damage your tyres doing this it's still better than being stuck on the beach
On a similar note I was driving through a snowstorm and reversed into a large snowbank. 2 hours of shoveling later and the rear end that was almost 3 feet off the ground finally dropped and I made my way out of there
7:55 I challenge your statement about the fact AWD was the reason this could have happened if A-TRC was working, plenty of AWDs exists with a traction control that's designed to brake a slipping wheel and on sand where conditions are not tough would be enough to maintain good traction on an AWD system when you open in the centre just my opinion. If A-TRC was not available eg. Old 4wd then yes this would be an applicable statement to make.
One important thing that most 99.99% of off-road people don't know is, if you pour water on sand, it solidifies. Funny how wherever there's sand, there's water.
1st mistake going to the beach by yourself on an isolated beach. Too many things can happen. 2nd mistake is not knowing how to drive on sand. 3rd mistake not having on board 4 pieces of 3/4" plywood 3ft X 5ft and 1 piece 3/4" plywood 3ft X 3ft and a car jack. Why you may ask? Place the jack on the 3 X 3 and jack up one wheel at a time and place the 3 x5 under the wheel and lower. Repeat process 3 more times. Drive slowly forward until on more solid ground. Ciao from Little Italy 🇮🇹 Montréal
Negotiating backtracks- sand dunes-washouts- sand ledges and steep off camber beach’s. It’s not a myth having issues with Tyres on low pressure. From my experience sometimes sand gets in the bead when on low pressure and this causes air leak which makes the tyre come off. Water - mud and rough terrain also doesn’t help.
I've been stuck on Wilbinga beach a couple of times, one time I used a chopping and tool bag as recovery tracks to get out. another time I use a small pallet I found and ratchet strapped it to the wheel to pull in under. you can use literally anything you can find to get you out😂 needless to say I now always travel with 4 recovery tracks and a long shovel👍
R/D. Brings back memories of Dec' 86 when a brand new HJ75 ute was stuck on the west coast of N.S.P. all by itself ! Good call with counting down to deflate, as use this method and no one does ? V.
Yep seen I bloke bogged to the frame on the beach the other day. Had every thing you could think of bolted on his rig but did not have Maxx-Traxx and running 24" wheels with rubber band tyers. Some people just don't get it.
I like the idea of floaties like Norm Needham carried in '75 to Cape York. A pair should always be carried on the roof. If the tide was coming in, just strap them on and float away into the sunset. Don't forget the outboard!
Step 1 lol Nissan auto hubs unlock in revers found that out bogged on a beach in Albany 15 something years ago with angry wife yelling at me, that night in the dog house decided to read the manual in the glove box. good vid Ronny

Personally, id sooner see people like me and you lobby against people like you and me against climate change woke fk wits from banding diesel cars in the next ten years than us playing what brand is a better syndrome and protect us from EVs
@@dantheman5222 cheers mate. I'm based in the Middle East and Y61 are still available new - solid vehicles like I said. I drive a manual transmission FJ Cruiser. Everything is lever actuated, there are no servos except the rear diff lock. Mechanical fan etc. There are seat sensors etc but none of that stuff will stop anything from working if they fail. It's basic, it's super reliable, and super capable. What more can you ask for?
Step 1 for me would have been to use the car Jack to Jack up each corner one at a time and pack sand back under the tyres. Bring the car back up to the surface instead of digging down. (Just need to place something under the Jack). I have done this a few times successfully- and it is also good to do when the tyres won’t grab on the Maxtrax
One thing I put in all my vehicles is an air jack as they are quick and easy to use and are excellent for lifting the front or rear of the vehicle so you can fill any holes with sand or other debris.
Up north in James price a European couple bogged a jeep in the tidal space with it incoming quick, a miracle we were coming past cause there was next to no traffic up there, luckily winched the vehicle out and took all their beer in return hahaha
Got bogged in a short wheelbase Pajero, on the shadow side of a sand dune in the UAE, middle of summer, 53 in the shade...a local in a Lexus Cruiser, pulled up next to me, dropped the tyre pressure down and 'flew' out of the bog on the rev limiter in 1st gear...I've never seen driving like it, he went vertical up the dune I had trouble walking up.... He walked back down and did the same thing in his cruiser....local knowledge helps too...
I just went out for my first practice session in my new 4Runner... dutifully had my shovel on board. No trax yet, got rid of my old killer tow strap with the hooks. But damnit, I know where my recovery points are. Haha! Next month's money... snatch strap, rear recovery doodad, etc.
How to jack & pack would be useful for a bunch of people. Most people probably aren't even aware that this is a thing. It would be good to see it done with a stock bottle jack and with a hilift/lift mate (IMO the best use for a hilift offroad).
2 years ago i was on my own on Cape Verde where i rented a 4x4 (Suzuki Jimny iirc) to go watch some stranded ship on a beach. Though once there it appeared to be quite a sandy unmarked track. That was quite nerverecking.. at some point the engine rpm’s where going up while the car was slowing down, quite an omg moment 😂 Made it through luckily.
I might add another tip/advice, before you start digging make sure you empty your pockets as the chances are great to lose keys, wallet and other important items
hahaha going to show this to a mate who lost some keys that way!
By far the best 4x4 beach tip I've ever read...
@@spencerm106 thanks
So true!
Best advice of the week, something nobody thinks of but it seems so obvious once you know!
Just started watching it. Years ago we used to put logs under the wheels to get out before max tracks were heard of
In Europe we still use them... in Poland set of Maxtrax is from 1/2 to 1/3 of monthly earnings xd
buy XBull from eBay or Amazon if you can find them. costs only 1/3 of maxtrax and probably only 1/10 of your monthly salary
@@wyc4934 I use then with no problems. I don't use them often they're just a insurance policy for me. I don't do anything that crazy.
Ah, the site of all this max tracks getting around the city… 😂😂😂😂
I had to do this recently in a Botswanan game park. Adds a whole new level when you know there a lion or 2 around somewhere 🤣🤣
By “lion or two,” you mean moody women who were travelling with you?
Did you met couple of cougars?

It depends on vehicle weight too
Hey Ronny, was able to help a lady out of the sand today based on these principles you just demonstrated (4x2 ) however. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Ronny! A few ideas for other scenarios:
- Your manual gearbox stops working properly on a trail. You don't have all the gears. What do you do?
- You run out of fuel in the bush. What do you do?
- You run out of water in the bush. What do you do?
- You damage a tire sidewall and need to change the tire on a technical trail. What's the procedure?

- You've got yourself onto a difficult technical trail that's too much for your vehicle or skillset. There's nowhere to turn around. What do you do?

If you turn the valve cap up side down and push the rounded end (the top) into the valve you can use it to air down your tires.
I’ve never actually tried that 🙃
I have the valve caps that also have a valve remover on them.
The good thing about this tip is that you're letting air out at the same rate for every tyre so when you do your count you can be pretty sure all tyres will be at the same pressure when you're done.
Don’t air down if you can’t air back up! Chances are most people don’t have an air compressor/are stupid🤣

Haha "done myself a mischief"

Stolen straight from the powerfish
How to jack & pack would be useful for a bunch of people. Most people probably aren't even aware that this is a thing.
It would be good to see it done with a stock bottle jack and with a hilift/lift mate (IMO the best use for a hilift offroad).
Good video 😎
I must admit, I was hoping you were going to teach me a new easier way. I have had to do the dig out in mud with sticks for tools Hahah.
2 years ago i was on my own on Cape Verde where i rented a 4x4 (Suzuki Jimny iirc) to go watch some stranded ship on a beach. Though once there it appeared to be quite a sandy unmarked track. That was quite nerverecking.. at some point the engine rpm’s where going up while the car was slowing down, quite an omg moment 😂 Made it through luckily.
