Legend has it that even if he had a nightmare about wrong tyre pressures, he would still smile.
Cheers for the video mate.
This is by far one of the best off-road channel out there. Thanks mate keep it on!
Fuzzy Boost
Yes it WAS. he announced at the end of 2019 he was calling it quits. What a shame. a REAL shame.
@@steiny3353 was the only no BS no paid product 4x4 channel such a big loss
@@ausguy4385 ..Yes, it really was a big loss. I think he DID have a few sponsors though, nothing huge, but enough to help him along. I must google "seek adventure" again and see if he is still around. I miss his vids.
Love your work. Too many 4x4 advisory is done by know it all's. You are humble and helpful.
I went to North Carolina last week and did my first beach drive at Hatteras Island. It was a bunch of fun and caught some flounder. Thanks to your videos I was prepared. I actually ended up pulling two other folks who were stuck. Certainly appreciate all the info. Love your videos.
Amazing video, the best one I have ever seen for driving in sand, and one of the most comprehensive topical videos I have ever seen on TH-cam. You are super prepared with very important items needed for safe travels. Also, your video quality and multiple camera usage is top notch! Keep up the excellent work, and thanks for sharing all of this great advice. P. S. Love that method for storing a second hat, very cool idea!
I bet the two dislikes are 4wd shop owners who now cant say ya need a 4" lift and 35s to go on the beach , love ya work matey :)
@Rossi 21 the scoop adds 20hp
What I thought minimum requirements for 4x4ing was an 79 with 4inch lift and 35s 😂
Well, the channel may be dead, however this video got me on, and off the beach for the first time, and with warm weather coming it's time for a refresher
This is the best sand driving instructional video I've seen. Very detailed in different scenarios.
Your an absolute inspiration mate, keep up the great work! 👌🏽
Thanks Michael, this is a great beginners vid, love the comedy thrown in.
Awesome tips thanks mate, hope to see you at Perth's 4wd show!
Great video Michael, thanks! We're moving out west to Washington State here in a few months and plan on doing some beach driving the day after we arrive. Of course being a 4Runner it might be difficult to get stuck in the first place but I'll do my best to get bogged!
I'll be sure to send some pics your way with the Seek Adventure decals you sent :)
Another informative & entertaining video. Thanks Michael, keep 'em coming.
I learned so much. I love this channel!
Love your work Michael. You have great enthusiasm for everything you do and it shows in the end result.
your experience is shared thru you tube,, you are a legend to us novices. thanks so much. cheers keep it up much appreciated. G + J
No drama's!! Haha you sound so chill! Going to try this with my jeep & I loved this video, cool calm & well explained.
I’m always learning great tips from your videos. I didn’t even know to use 4low on the sand, when bogged. I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks mate!
Outstanding information. Thanks so much. Happy travels
This is such great advice and so well explained. I've used these techniques to drive my Subaru across beaches, dunes, and super soft river sand and have never gotten stuck. Thanks to your other video showing how low you can go before losing the bead, I now go down to 12 psi instead of 16 without worry.
Does Subarus come with low gears or just awd?
@@RagingBad In Australia, some relatively recent Subarus are available low range gearing. I know it was possible in the 2009-2013 Forester. Here in the US, there have unfortunately been no dual range for the past 20 years. Some people here actually import gearboxes from Australia to mod their U.S. Subarus. :-)
@@RagingBad Those Manual 2nd Gen Foresters have extra shifter for High/Low gear in Australia.
That's cool
This has covered every question I had about beach driving thank u 😊
I’ve watched a lot of the 4x4 channels, new to this one and think it’s great! Cheers for the advice! ( it’s realistic)👍
Ten minutes in and just realised you have two hats. Profound.
Thanks mate! I'm literally going for my first beach run this coming weekend. Absolutely perfect timing!
Haha me too. Great vid mate
Awesome!! I hope you score some great weather and have a blast 👌😃. Hope the video helped a bit!
Funny you say that, I was about to say the same thing 😂😂 Just got some recovery tracks and want to test them out.
Gave ya a like before even watching mate. Love all your videos and I've already drove on the beach multiple times with my Mitsubishi outlander without ever getting bogged thanks to your great tips.
Hey Michael great informative video. Keeping it simple and tyre pressures low. 👍
Nice video mate, appreciate the time you put into helping others. cheers.
So glad I happened upon your channel! I have never driven on a beach yet, by myself, nor with anyone else driving a vehicle over sand. But since getting my AWD and discovering the possibilities I have locally for new beach adventures, I'm researching before I dive in. Watching this has opened my eyes to so much that I hadn't considered before. Thank you. I know that I'll be watching again about a dozens times before I go out.
Good piece mate, thanks.
Thanks mate great tip and advice thumbs up!
Mate, you did it again - you put a lot of effort to make a great and helping video. My humble bow to you.
This is great! I'm from Perth so know all of these places. Love to take my ranger down or the missus Subaru sports, feel a bit more confident!
Thanks Mike for all your tips, enthusiasm & motivation to viewers. You have helped our 18yr old decide 4wd purchase over a city ute. 4wd life is "clean" adventure you've excell at promoting. Thank you
Man, you're the best. I literally enjoy your enthusiasm as you explain driving technique. Your channel is my number one go-to for learning to drive on different surfaces
thanks for sharing some great info Michael.
Love the spare hat hanging behind you
Great video mate, I've done a (very) little bit of 4WD-ing, it never hurts to refresh on techniques. Thanks again - Peter V.
First time I went 4WD'ing on the beach I carried an extra pair of dacks and I definitely needed them lol !
Video been out for 3 minutes.. and is 30 minutes long and people are already saying it helped them.
Urban Outdoorsman 😂
So? That's how good old mate is at helping.
2020 vision, can see into the future.
I wouldn't put too much stock in to TH-cam time stamps or anything for that matter.
Exactly what I needed mate cheers! I am going for my first ever beach run in Beechport after exams, this is hands down the best resource on the entire internet for beginners, especially for us Victorian’s who don’t have any beaches to practice on, cheers!
Great advice and heaps of tips, cheers bud
Yeah mate thanks, great info on beach driving
Very informative as always,, I enjoyed the video, thanks
Perfect tips, thanks mate!
Just found this channel, absolutely brilliant mate. Glad you're making content again!
Excellent video! Thanks mate
Always quality, never fail to produce. Well done mate.
I’m literally heading out to buy some 4wd gear now and said I better do some research for the first trip up that way too btw. I think I’ve all I need now. Thanks bud.
I have no words to describe how grateful am I hit your channel. Best videos ever. Ya legend.👏👏
Top video mate. Keep them coming. Cheers.
Great Tutorial!! Thank you so much. Best is "it's fun!"
New subscriber, love your videos! I got a wk a few years ago. I had never driven on the beach but was familiar with 4 wheel drive. Anyway went on the beach for the first time a few years ago, made it on the beach and to our parking spot, but on the way out got stuck. I never new about airing down or turning off the traction control. Got a bit stuck but fellow jeepers hand pushed me out. Anyway, you've given me some more tips..thank you!
Thanks legend! Awesome information!
Dude you're an absoute top bloke. Im about to try beach driving soon and your video is exactly what i needed to watch! Thanks.
Awesome video great display ..new to the 4x4 scene ...top notch ..
Great job man. 👍🏻
one of the best videos on Beach driving. keep it up mate.
Awesome mate!
Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video, just bought my first 4WD and learnt some great tips regarding tyre pressures and tips to get myself out of trouble. Thanks.
Very well presented.
Just stumbled onto your channel and really enjoyed it. I've liked, subbed and all that. I've just watched a lot of "Inskip" videos and learned nearly all the things NOT to do. I'm thinking about getting back into it in my retirement now. I had forgotten how much fun it was. Hoping to get a Colorado.
Love the videos and great for beginners!! Would you consider doing tag along tours???
Yes if I lived in Perth, I would definitely be up to pay something for a tag along tour. Sadly I live in QLD. However my point is that is something our young friend could consider for extra cash to fund his hobby. Just check into the liability situation before offering this service. You don't want some clown suing you and taking all the fun and fiance out of trying to offer a service.
Awesome mate! Thank you for the video!
As always, great camera work. I really enjoyed this vid despite having a fair bit of beach experience. Good advice and kept it as simple as possible.
Also, I too get bogged just to prove an example to all others!
Flawless videos. So much hard work behind this and always with smiles.
good one mate loving the content keep going with the good work!
Excellent and thanks for answering my off topic question in your last video! I’m utterly amazed that you did all that with road tyres on! You’re a star and my “go to man” for all things 4WD. Cheers.
Apparently road tyres are better for sand
Great video Michael! This is much better then the modern 'professionally' produced shows that have less content and rapid fire scene cuts that can send a person into a fit!
Great video thanks for sharing!
Great information! Thank you
Great video mate, very useful. Thanks for sharing.
As a owner of a new BT50 thanks for the tuition of turning OFF the traction control and the reasoning behind it 👍
I got a lot from this ,great video thanks.
Awesome video. I am going to hit the sand dunes next week for the first time so it is great to have your tips under my belt 👍😄
bloody good advice Seek Adventure thumbs up ... keep 4wding /camping ;)
Thank you buddy! For taking the time to go through all the explanation and examples when you could have been surfing...next essential for beaching...back up wet suit!!
Good idea about the photo when bogged mate! Your a legend! Having watched many people on the beach here near fraser, it sucks the whole culture of shaming people for getting stuck. Its a learning experience and better to be in a situation youve experienced before than not know and have never known what its like. Glad i found your channel mate! Keep smiling!
Thank you so much this was honestly a great watch with a few laughs and everything I need to know to get out there, thanks again mate
Great video. My son is learning to 4x4 and has subscribed to your channel.
Beautiful location, great drone shots, very reassuring as i go to the beach for the first time tomorrow! Thanks
Great video. Helped me heaps.
Thanks.
Another great Video, well done.
Thanks for that mate, awesome vid
Thank you very much mate. Your video is of incredible help. You are awesome man.
I've watched a few sand driving videos getting ready for my first sand off-road in Southern California (Pismo Beach) next week. This video stands out as being straight forward, not panic causing, and with a great presentation. Thanks mate!
Love this video. Thanks for the tips.
Another awesome presentations Michael...good sound advise presented in a manner we can all relate to..so much better than some of the other seasoned campaigners who are always flogging their sponsors...you're a natural man thanks for the good work👍👍
Beginners definitely won’t be hard pressed to find these type of videos on TH-cam, there’s bloody heaps!
Phil McAvity lol I was thinking of making one too
lots of good advice here. good on ya
Nice one Micheal and done on standard rims and tires. 👍😎🇳🇿
Great explanations mate and very thorough 👍
Thanks mate,nicely done👍
A GREAT video. Just got our first 4x4 and learned so much from this video. Keen to give it a (careful) crack very soon. Thanks mate! Subscribed.
Good video and alot of great tips thanks mate
Great video. Very informative. I feel more confident hitting the beach.
Love your videos mate.
I like how you even went as far as getting stuck just to show us how to get out of the situation. Very good video. Gave me all the information I needed .
Good video and tips I'll pass on to my buddies
Excellent clip!
Awesome vid mate, tire pressures you say, I remember reading a short article in 4x4 monthly around 10 years ago about a guy in an HJ Holden sedan 202 3 speed manual who drove up big red in central Australia in one attempt as 4x4s took many trys or just took the chicken track around the dune, this guy who had many years of experience of the outback under his belt, when he was asked how did you do it over the top of big red, he just smiled (tire pressures)
