Here we go!
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Mate once again Derrick balls of steel to even attempt that. This is why I watch you guys all the time. No stress let’s just call in a tractor to get us out and have a few great northerns to wash it all down after the fact. Sue how do you do it, my wife would be stressing all the time. Luv it.
Thanks mate. If I told you that I didn’t want to go down there and sue did , you wouldn’t believe me but that’s what happened. Great team work though from all and still managed to enjoy the weekend with good company 🙌🏻
"Put the worries onto tomorrow" 👍👏☺️
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Geez, lets go down the beach and have some fun, yeah right. Bit light on the right foot when first hitting the beach, and no locker in, really Nige. No speed bogs. Did well, the ideas/theory to get out were good, tractor even better.
i cried, i cringed, i laughed and I asked WHY? go down there, sensational episode really enjoyed
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Peter. I said the same thing to sue but she insisted we try 😂😂
Nice work. We all get bogged sometimes!
I'd be dropping to 15psi in that situation.
Thanks Brett, yeah the farmer who pulled us out said 15psi our friends also got bogged and they dropped down and popped straight out!
Thanks Brett. Yea , looking back on it I would have gone to 10psi but we learnt and we move forward from it 🙌🏻
Great vid guys. New camping game, find the max track. I’m guessing no Bathurst that arvo.🥂👏
Thanks Libby😁 only did we realise they cancelled the the top ten shoot out😂
Another great video guys, and another great life adventure for you two....I know its after the event but a couple of things I picked up from your predicament...A walk down first onto the sand should have rung some alarm bells for you....never be afraid to drop tyre pressures right down , as low as 10 or 12 psi, act cautiously...I did notice none of your tyres "belled" out at all. To do that, chuck away them bloody pressure gauges you have and get a decent tyre deflator. To snig your van around with a winch, drop jockey wheel onto your spade, lower the van down low then do your winching, the front of the van will "ski", the shovel head acting like a sled. Also attach a bright coloured ribbon, about 2 or 3 metres long to each Max Trak, makes for easy location after the stuff up....Keep up the good work.....look forward to next weeks "adventure"
This is awesome thanks Graham! The spade as a ski, didn't think of that. Hopefully we won't get ourselves into this situation again but if we do this is really useful advice. Thank you!
Thanks Graham. Advise taken on board. I do think if I had let my tyres down to 10psi all round might have had a different outcome
Guys enjoy your TH-cam posts: Derek never short of words and Sue a very patient lady. Cheers AB
Thank you 🙌🏻
Thanks so much Andrew! Hope you have an epic week!
Omg I was so worried 😀 you did well keeping so calm guys , good work and great video 👍⭐️
Thanks Jackie. It still turned out a great weekend
Thanks Jackie, I was quietly panicking! I thought we were going to end up permanents ahaha!
@@suelandolt6840 now that would have been another road less travelled 😀💕
Oh, what a mission. Cheers to the New Holland!
Ahaha, what an experience! Thankfully you and Karla were with us!
Huge mission. Thanks guys 🙌🏻
Guy’s what an epic day - how awesome was it that people came too help you out , now that is the Aussie spirit and maté ship is all about.perfect time too upgrade to an electric or hydraulic jockey wheel.the most important part is no one got hurt. Stay safe
Thanks so much! I agree and electric jockey wheel is on our wish list! Luckily the small town we were near had a new jockey wheel! Hope you have an epic week!
Thank you 🙌🏻 it turned out an awesome weekend and agree, no one got hurt 🙌🏻
I doff my hat to you! How you both could remain so calm(ish) and see the good in the situation amazes me. The vid is a great contribution for newbies like me, and if it hadn’t been recorded with such authenticity the whole experience would have been a waste of time. Legends! I guess you missed Bathurst, though. Bugger!
Hey Warren, thanks so much. I don't know whether it was calmness or shock 🤣 Thanks so much for your kind comment, please feel free to reach out at any stage with any questions.
Thank you Warren. Yip , keeping your cool when in a situation like that is key and glad we got out and still managed a great weekend with great company 🙌🏻
I would not have taken a caravan down there?🤔 Good for content though. ✔️
Omg! My stress levels would have been off the scale. Glad you still enjoyed the stay. Awesome spot!
Mine (Deryck) we’re very high 🙌🏻
You’re a cool customer!
Take a deep breath, Have a cup of tea or beer in your case, to assess your situation and try another solution.
Maybe next time walk the
Creek sandy beach FIRST , like a water crossing!? And avoid going up s..t creek without a paddle…
But then again, we all would have mist out of
This Great video!
I certainly learned from your experience on what to do and what not.
Thanks again 🙏🏻
Thank you🙌🏻
That was an unexpected little adventure. But hey....you nutted it out & showed resourceful you are. Isn't great though when you " hit a wee speed bump" other people are only too happy to help out. Great stuff team. 👏
Thanks Dave👍🏻 we have found people are very more than willing to help in tough situations. I helped a young couple out the other day get unbogged so it’s great I could pay it forward
What a bogging. Lesson learnt! Such a great Hipcamp, hosts were so good to us! Thank you!
Good lesson learnt 🙌🏻
good job mate that's a heavy van in soft sand its good to see you kept your cool great job by all
Thanks mike. There was a bit of panic but remaining calm is key in a situation like that 🙌🏻
Thanks Mike, Derycknwas amazing and our friends were really good to us. The poor hosts of Ironbark really looked after us. Eventually the neighbour came over to get us out! So grateful for good people
Oh guys. Outstanding set up. Great rig. Wrong road.
Gets better and better. Did you think of dropping tyre pressure to 10 psi. Those tyre have a solid side wall.
Thanks Peter. Didn’t think of it at the time but will remember if we get into a situation like that again 😁
This was a great camp!!! It sucked we got bogged but highlight was we got to see your van hooked up to a tractor 😂🤣 Can’t wait to see your new tractor tow rig haha! Always the best time with Just Vanning It ✌🏼
Thanks guys 🙌🏻 still had an amazing time and the company was 👌
Thanks for the help and a great weekend 🙌🏻
Aaah thanks guys, she did look good on the back of that tractor 🚜 😀 sorry you spent your afternoon digging pulling and pushing!
Wow! It's all experience. As they say 'you have to risk it for the biscuit'. It didnt pay off this time in regards to the camping by the creek but a lesson learned for the next time if you a presented with a similar situation. And nothing but a jockey wheel got hurt. Well done, you kept a level head and made sure everyone was safe.
Thank you Janice🙌🏻 definitely a learning experience and made sure it was done safely as much as we could. All in all it was still a great weekend and great company as well 🙌🏻
Thanks Janice, yeah a big lesson learned and def experience in our pocket! Thanks so much for the support and appreciate the feedback! Hope you have an awesome week!
Just a hint for next time, drop all tyres including caravan down. Have had ours as low as 10psi. It happens to everyone at some stage don't let it deter you from adventures in the future.
Thanks Leon, great to know and appreciate your feedback!
Thanks mate. Advise taken on board 🙌🏻
You make it look harder than it should be ☺️ loved it I would be drinking more than 🍺 beer if it was me I can hear Keelan laughing Mr Bob was enjoying himself in that creek can't wait to see Paradise to Disaster should be ☺️ a good laugh 😂 aswell cheers legends
Have a look at mark 26.28 your safety chain weld is broken where it mounts to the chassis.
Derrick you need the maxtrax trailer skid. Attach it to a strap or winch and your in business.
You had me hyperventilating just watching you going down to that creek. In this situation I would be behind a tree crying and rocking like a baby. My worst nightmare. You did so well
Thank you. We’re stressed but just tried to stay calm 🙌🏻
Wow what an experience 4 ya thank goodness 4 trackers ay 👏 💯👍🙏
It was huge learning curve for us. Another 2 tracks will be great investment 🙌🏻
We had an absolute blast with you all! Thanks guys! Look forward to seeing you next trip.
Thanks Cassie, you were absolutely amazing! Such a special spot you have, we really enjoyed it!
Thanks Cassie. Appreciate your help that day and will definitely stop again 🙌🏻
Hey guys another great episode. We absolutely enjoyed this one. We yelled at the screen STOP when we saw what you where about to drive on. You both made a plan and excited the plan.
Thanks heaps for all you guys showcase. Keep it up 😊
Thank you 🙏. Yea was a huge lesson learnt and will be a bit more mindful next time😁
I thought you guys were in real trouble in that sandpit!! 😅
😁😁 I was thinking the same after 5 hours trying to get out 😂
Well done, nice axle bog, no panicking. I’d go for a Massey Ferguson tractor personally 😂
Thanks Lee🙌🏻🙌🏻
OMG! sorry guys this was so hilarious!😂 Cape York has got you tackling bigger 4WD adventures yet you stayed focused during your dilemma and come through with the goods🤟😊
River sand is deadly it never compacts. Tie the straps onto the Maxtrax that came with them so you can find them.
100% I won't be venturing onto any sand soon! Yes we said the same thing about the straps!
Very true 🙌🏻
Poor bugga what a mess that was you got out of that fairly cheaply all things considered
Thanks Anthony 🙌🏻
Thank goodness for neighbours. Bugga about missing Bathurst. But ya-no-wat, Ya never missed a thing! lol
Soooo------ 4x4 tip #1, in future, take a walk to inspect what you can not see easily, before dipping right in. Actually, walk it first anyway. 😄👍 all's well that ends well.
You need to buy some tractor tyres for that damn Japanese Ute! 😂
Just heard some news that another one of your fellow Van YT’ers rolled his 79 a couple of weeks ago up near Mossman. Issue is they are so too heavy and high with the mods…
Massey Fergusson with a dickie seat for the co pilot is the G O ! ✅✅
Wow what a experience you guys definitely had 😬 glad to see you took it in your stride (on camera) to resolve the situation.
Great video always enjoy watching you and Bob growing up every week 💙
Thanks guys 🙌🏻 all in all we had a great time
Small hints for next time, as soon as your bogged go lower in tyre pressure, and when tightening your do35 to the hitch you can take the hitch out from the car and rotate it 90° and put it back in, this will give you downward leverage and allow you to use all your weight or jump on it 👍
👍🏻
How do you like your van . We have had nothing but problems with our vacationer and to have repairs is a nightmare. You guys are awesome to watch .
Awesome vid guys, how cute r those tiny homes ❤, u guys r really having a blast Take care, stay safe Happy travels till next time 🍻😘
Thank you Lorna. The tiny home is amazing 🙌🏻
Hi guys eventful episode. Deryck check your safety chain on the left side of the van. Looks like its been pulled away at the weld & needs rewelding.
Thanks mate, will check it. Thanksnfor letting us know. Have a great week 😀
Thanks mate . Will double check that 🙌🏻
Awesome content 👌
What an amazing experience
Lesson learned from bogging
Greetings from south africa 🇿🇦 😀
Thanks mate 🙌🏻 yip , huge lesson learnt 🤙🏻
Sorry u got bogged mate but u broke a cardinal rule always walk it first then u most Likely u would not have gone down there anyway all's good great vid and at least u had the balls to put it on tape a lot wouldn't. 😉
Thanks Terry! Yeah lesson well learnt! Won't be doing that again in a hurry.
Thanks Terry. Huge lesson learnt here but still managed a great weekend with great company
Yep, a few of us newbies learnt a lot from that vid, and if it wasn’t published (with the authenticity that it was) it would have truly been a waste of time.
You guys done so well keeping your sh#@ together...👍
Thanks Dennis, it was pretty stressful, I thought we were gna end up living there permanently!
Thanks mate 🙌🏻 agree with sues comment 😂
Well that was a crappy afternoon🤦🏼♀️
🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
It still turned out a great weekend 🙌🏻
Your so funny Derek
😂😂
I know it’s still a bit soon too see the funny side of it but you did really well and keep your cool though a very tricky situation 👏👏👏. My bride would of never let me go down there in the first place and if I’d not taken her advice and did it anyway,which I’ve been guilty of in the past would of bashed me to death with a stick the whole time. Sue you truly are a treasure,you kept a smile on your dial and helped out when ever you could 👍🍺👏👏👏. Ever lasting memories made and lessons learnt with no real harm done 👁👁🙃🙃🐕🦺🙏❤️🇦🇺
Thanks so much Graham, yeah we can laugh about it now! I had to smile, believe it or not it was my fault. Deryck didn't want to do it as said we would get bogged, I will have to listen to him next time....🤣
Thanks Graham🙌🏻 normally I just listen and do but now I will be sure to not do something like this again 😂
If u were still on 20 psi u would most likely drive out by deflating down to 12 or 10, 4x4 and the van.
plz do same again with low tire pressures your tires not even flexing side walls ,and get a couple more sets of max tracks , lower all tires , 8 of i bet you can do it . at least u have a tractor to get you out
Yes, we agree we need more tracks and it was a learning curve for us and we will lower pressures more if we get into this situation again
Tyre pressures ,cant believe with your travels you didnt drop to 15 psi on all 8 wheels
We never had to and been as low as 20 which we did. Nothing wrong with learning.
Ya know the orange strap things that came with your max trax were not just for decoration.
All for the gram
Not really. It was for a good campsite
@@justvanningit
Cool
Well done guys you all stayed so calm just a question what is Sue's work on the road? We plan to start the lap in march and work is a good option for extra income
Thanks Jayson I work in recruitment so am able to work remotely as long as I have an internet connection.
Thanks Jason
I would have unhitched straight away... get the 4wd positioned, winch the van around rehitch then off you gou.. trying to turn that tight dragging that weight on that sand was never going to happen.. easy to say sitting here relaxed... but sometimes you need to take 5 and rethink the situation.. good job but you guys didn't freak out and got her done in the end.
Let tyres down to 5 psi? Get some water from the river?
What did you drop the vans tyres too. 20 on the ute still way too hard
Agreed. Lesson learnt 😁
ATG&NFI. 😂
You didn’t listen to the land owners advice. You also didn’t walk down first & take a look see. 🙄
If you’d walked down & looked you could have parked & camped up top on the grass under the trees & just driven the 4WD down to the creek during the day to fish or swim.
You also didn’t have the rear diff lock engaged until after you got stuck.
All “rookie mistakes”. 😉
With that sized & weight van, you bought the cruiser as a tow vehicle to haul it on road.
The manufacturer can call it a off road van but that doesn’t actually make it off road capable in either, sand, mud or water.
You really need to up your game substantially.
You have probably figured it out but the top ten didn't happen.
i don't like criticizing ,after all your still learning, but your babying everything you do. more throttle and you would not have bogged.
I’m not sure about that. Unfortunately I feel you wrong. Reason - I did give it throttle and any more wouldn’t have gotten us anywhere. Sometime more throttle is not the right way to do things. You say I’m babying everything, I think that’s a bit rude to be honest. I don’t see any babying in that video. We were calm and got out and we still had an amazing time.
At the end of the day , we having fun
@@justvanningit sorry to disagree, i have done enough rough track traveling to know better, your entitled to your opinion.
@@ronniegauci3843 too easy
