A trip is lived 3 times: when we dream it, when we live it and when we remember it.
Congratulations, you are awesome.
P.D- My wife and I do overland in Spain, and we follow your channel enjoying it a lot.
Best regards couple.
Nice to see you guys swapping out the mog's hiking boots for beach sandals! Awesome spot to show off a very video-genic Mog! Both of you looking so very happy and at "home"wherever you decide to stop!!! Enjoy.
Had to laugh now as I posted the above comment only 6 minutes into the video and never saw the PBJ part yet - but am sitting here on my couch watching this clip with a peanut butter and jam sandwich for lunch! Have to agree with Chris - good filling combo.
Beach entrances/exits are always the softest. Drop your tire pressure until the sidewalls bulge and keep up your speed, stop before you dig in. Add a ground/sand anchor to your kit...your winch is useless without one. They look like a danforth style with larger blades. The best!!
Maybe put some ropes on the maxtracks and tie to the mog. So you pull them with you after you get unstuck 😁
Great video again guys. You have not been 4 wheel driving until you have been stuck, part of the fun. As Chris said there are many ways you could have tried. Next time just try tyre pressure, its amazing what that few less psi will do.
One problem with split ring rims is reducing pressure. That is why I suggest they save up to change to bead lock rims which one do get for the Unimog.
Use the drone to search for larger unwanted sharks; there's a guy flying around Sydney, doing it all the time - made a TH-cam channel out of it, showing loads of dangers, interesting sites. It's a process that obviously works as a safety factor. So you'd, at least, be able to see in advance if the landlord was cruising!! Great workout for the truck, tracks and yourselves!!
True , probably the best method and enough to put grey hairs on your head some days when you see what was there.
Good job.. !! For the Maxtrack leashes.. really just put a long, bright cord on them (5M or so), you generally need to find them. then dig them out. your not going to pull them out of sand or mud via the cord anyway :)
That was a hell of a place for a driving lesson. Awesome you are practicing Spanish, but you already know the real meaning of ¡¡Pura Vida!!
my fav thing to do on a friday after work while eating dinner....this show!
Couldn’t have done it without Ange’s 🌹 smile 😃 and determination. Ok, Chris helped a bit and drove it out 👍🤪
The real Star of this episode is Ange,s shorts 😋. Well done guys, Looks like a amazing spot and great camera work.
Awesome video as usual, fantastic that you could see and point out where you went wrong and what you could change.. Cracking camp-site on the beach, don't blame you at all for not spearing on your own in those waters, very beautiful, the colours and clarity is usually 1st class but very sharky
Beautiful scenery. More importantly it looks like you are having a great time.
22:04...that steamed my glasses up...
Super équipe bravo à vous 2.
On se croirait au cinéma, les couleurs sont magnifiques.
merci
About time Ang driving. Go girl.
Awesome to see that you were able to self recover easily.
Momentum is your friend. When you start don't stop
That's not bogged guys. Just keep driving ;) I've seen a Unimog bogged to the diff and it keeps digging through the sand as long as it's not uphill. Also maxtrax should go under the heavier axle, i.e. your rear...
"i just trained" ..... yeah nooo kidding.... bro is JACKED @10:04
The campsite at 6:30 just WOW!!.. The view!!! The privacy!!!
Nice going. good scenery. giving the equipment a workout to.
Hummus and jam = game changer
Chris the spade is not just useful for detecting the track but for digging it out too 😂
H FOR THE SNACK WIN!!
Esperance is a magic place!
Big mistake: do not stop on a slope going up, especially on soft sand. No matter how mighty is the Mog, in soft sand momentum is your friend. And you have a drone, after all. Anyway, was a good workout, especially for Ange 😂. Following you guys, we have met at the Perth Show. Raz
Great work guys really good team work to get up that last rise. View is fantastic and enjoying your journey!
Mahalo for another great video guys! Glad you touched on the subject of great whites in this episode because I’ve always wondered? FYI, great whites have been visiting Hawaii for ages now and there’s video proof on TH-cam. In fact, Deep Blue has been documented here feeding on a dead whale carcass, most recently! This means that great whites regularly swim an incredible, 3000 miles from California or Mexico to get here so I suspect 100km is probably a walk around the block? I was a spear fisherman here for 30 years so I know your passion, but am now a converted shore caster, spin caster fisherman because unlike spearing, the thrill of the fight with a size able fish on the end of your line, is 2nd to none.
With that said, I realize that your grocery store is often times the sea, so may I suggest your backup plan in case for some reason, you are unable to dive, is to jig hard or soft artificial baits to catch your meals? There are many videos of folks in Australia and New Zealand who roam the coasts fishing for pretty big fish, while not getting wet? Bottom line, carry a few poles and fishing tackle as a backup plan? Your Mate could also learn to fish and may even catch lunch while you dive! Since you dive in such remote areas, I know the fishing would be extremely lucrative! Well, that’s my 2 cents. Keep the great videos coming! Aloha & tight lines!
Good job driving through the soft sand, and Angie hope you remembered your yellow top, and when you pick it up always check inside and out for spiders.
You can attach a rope to the maxtracks, it will allow you to pull them out of the sand if they get digged in
Cheers on that beach its wonderful...
Hommus all the way!!! I regard it as a food group on its own, cant live without it.
Hey guys great job with the recovery! you should maybe think about getting a decent sand anchor to use with the winch incase everything else fails and you are really stuck
Spare tire makes the best sand anchor. Needed: truck with winch, spare tire, shovel, time ...
RE: tyre pressure
Australian frontline machinery
Truck, Cargo, Medium, MC2, 4×4, Mercedes Benz data summary
Tyre Pressures:
(1) Highway:
(a) Front .................... 310 kPa (45 psi)
(b) Rear ..................... 550 kPa (80 psi)
(2) Cross Country:
(a) Front .................... 240 kPa (35 psi)
(b) Rear ..................... 448 kPa (65 psi)
(3) Mud and Sand:
(a) Front .................... 137 kPa (20 psi)
(b) Rear ..................... 207 kPa (30 psi)
There is data info. TH-cam won’t let me send you the link 😞
I know that you don’t want to drop them down cause it takes to long to blow them back up .But I’m sure that you can use the air plump that fills the mogs brake air tanks to help blow them back up .I think you can tap into the air tank drain tap .You could probably also fit another air tank for more air storage.
Great show . stay safe 👍
Nice to see Ange doing some driving too!
I enjoyed driving on that beach!
great to see the mog in action! I know its still way to early but I would love to hear some thoughts later down the road what you think about some of the mods on the mog like tyres & sound proofing. Thanks for the great video's!
Have seen the truck around town a couple of times have been waiting for the video 👍 glad you got some good weather
What a beautiful place.... Great driving girl... You did well...
Classy outdoors couple!!
Don't worry mate, I used to live in esperance and have been bogged in that spot before, if you go up over the hill there are even more better views! Awesome content
Peanut butter and honey!
Ange, good drived.... Me encanta que estéis practicando el español. Muchas suerte en vuestro viaje por Australia.
Great video guys
Thank you so much for watching!
Love your adventures. You go to some fantastic, remote places. You two are so versatile.
Some constructive criticism, if I may. Can you use a noise cancelling microphone when filming with the Mogs engine running. And also some wind protection for the mic when outdoors in the wind.
Thank you.
Some absolutely amazing shots .. Love your channel and it’s great to see the Mog all done and in action. Also nice to see that travelling around doesn’t necessarily mean no keeping fit !
peanut butter but must be crunchy, jam (any flavour) and honey are my go to snack , each on their own slice of bread
Hi guys, defiantly peanut/apricot jam. Have fun.
I would go on record as saying Unimog's would be the best 4x4 on the road. if your spending all that time on the beach drop your pressure down until the tyre spreads a lot wider than normal. 15-20psi, and it will be unstoppable if driven to the terrain. nice work on the motorhome part all in all a great combination. glad you dont have a factory winch as they are crap. - what are you using for a winch back and front? warn?
Good to see you guys having fun diving out the Mog.... 👌
Thank you Mark for watching!
PB&J for sure!
Great team work. I see there was not very many anchor points to use the winch. You could take an old axle, sharpen the end to a point, like a pencil. Use a sledge hammer to drive the axle into the ground. There is your anchor point.
Well done.
way to go ang! putting In that work 👌
Peanut butter and raspberry jam everytime. . . ..sorry Ange. . . . . Wharton beach and surrounds is a magic area. . . . Been there a few times and hope to be back soon
Great vid by the way
Team hummus!
Great camp spots guys🙌
How good is The Barefoot Investor! Read it years ago and still follow it!
Peanut Butter and Jam wins every time I'm with you Chris
yumi's hommus Ange, you'll never look back! plus it comes in a massive tub at woolies!!
One thing if you want to know Australian Bush food, either on youtube or books 1. Les Higgins (Bush Tucker Man, 2. Kevin Newton ( Australian Survival instructors) they can give you safe bush foods available in the area you are in plus many extra's
Drop ya tyres to 1/2 pressure, should do that easy. The Mogs have an air attachment for an airline to pump the tyres back up.
If you watch our other vlogs you will see this is what we use.
Awesomeness !!! Great-video.
Great footage guys good to see you two having fun CHEERS 🍺🍺🍺
Very nice beach camping. What do you do about the possibility of high tide? In the beginning the mog is on the beach with rocks on each side but one.
hummus every time
+1 for team Ange!
Love your channel keep up the great work
How tall is your vehicle? Looks like you might have to avoid certain low bridges. So beautiful driving along the beach. It would be nice to relocate the white sharks to where there are an abundance of seals. In the US off Cape Cod they re introduced seals back to the habitat now there are 30,000 with no preditors other than a few white sharks we have (You saw the movie Jaws, that was filmed off Cape Cod)
Aerial photography is excellent! What is your drone of choice?
PB & Jam
Here’s my comment from the peanut gallery, I think Ange nailed it when she told you to stop and it was digging the first time, however the second time it looked like it was still making headway and may have climbed it’s way out. What’s was going on with the engine bogging down after it climbed over the maxtracks? Not giving it enough throttle or ? I would have thought using the max tracks to develop momentum and keep going rather than the multiple reset like you guys did. Just my observation, I’m sure you have reviewed the Footage and Made your own analysis. What a stunning place south western Aus is. Edit I’m torn like both hummus and peanut butter and jam, I’m fence sitting lol
Something else to add from the world of unimog offroading . . . the general rule of thumb with unimogs is to go slow and not necessarily carry a bunch of momentum (they can't really carry that much momentum) it's all about energy management and letting the suspension and gearing work for you. What I think was happening with the engine bogging down was wrong gear choice (too high while trying to slip the clutch in order to smoothly start off). I agree that they were probably good after they stopped the first time, however right before he stopped he started giving it too much throttle and started to dig down more. He needed less throttle at the end there (about how much he had right after he started out) and if you have to stop, start off from a lower gear . . . in this case they probably would have been fine starting out in 1st and just crawling up (i'm talking around 1k to 1500 rpm and almost no throttle) it's surprising what these things will crawl themselves up if you let them (also the see sawing of the wheel while moving always helps if you can do it). Lastly about the max trax, I get why they didn't want to develop momentum here because it was a very narrow track so little room for error (they just used the max tracks to basically get started again)
Also 30 in the front and 40 in the rear may be a bit high for how much weight they were carrying (if i remember correctly some Unimog drivers on expeditions in the Sahara went down below 20 psi in the really deep sand, just be careful of not putting too much side pressure on the tire and to air back up a bit when you get out of the sand because it's harder to break a bead on the sand than it is on the rocks.) I would highly recommend doing some research on some of the forums on what your regular sand driving pressures are and what you can safely go down to in an emergency. (you'd be surprised in some cases but I don't want to give exact numbers at the moment because I can't be sure i'm remembering them correctly off the top of my head).
@@Nesten321 momentum is probably a bad choice of words, I really meant just making headway
@@andrewgrant3470 ah ok we are on the same page then
Enjoyed the cinematic wide screen stuff. Ange, your energy and enthusiasm on the recovery was enjoyable to watch. I did feel the truck was stalling due to not being in lowest gear. 1st gear low is almost impossible to stall on 4wds. I feel sorry for you guys with the fuel prices ATM. You'll be around $2.50 a litre and it's not like you can suddenly get more money from TH-cam to cover this. All the best, slow down and stay in spots longer.
Marty from Perth
peanut butter and brown sauce and peanut butter and lemon curd yummy
We love peanut butter and jam and also a slice of cheese with honey on a slice of bread is also delicious.
Yes 4X4 get stuck, been there.
Great video. I have a question for you. How high is it from where you have installed your Torklift Glosteps bracket straight down to the ground? We just ordered the 6 step for our Land Rover, and we got the adjustable feet to give more height. Ours is a 140cm drop to the ground. They arrive next week, so hoping the steps are still quite flat when extended.
Looks exhausting .. but the end rewards .. nice view
Hummus evertime
peanutbutter & jam Chris. thats what we grew up on here in SOuth Africa
Nice video as usual guys. Hummus it is. Ange looked like the mog swallowed her when she went under 😂
Thank you so much for watching as always! Yay finally +1 for Team Ange 😄
Hello from Malaysia 👋 Wow great work guys !
Excellent drone footage!
Love Hummus and love peanut butter and jam, sorry!
That machine will go anywhere! Just the height that would worry me.
wow 6:14 looks awesome - reminds me of Cape Town actually.
PJ for sure.
Ange, Is there a recipe for the squash pancakes please?
Another great, inspirational video! Peanut butter and jam, I haven't tried, but it's now on the to-do list. It'll have to be good to beat peanut butter and honey, though. Mix them well together on the toast/bread and you will be hooked!
The United Peanut Butter Nations did a survey and found Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam is right up there , followed by Peanut Butter and Honey in second place , then Peanut Butter and Vegemite.
The Rules of course are you must have ample butter under your PB to give it the creamyness.
Some professional PB fans just get a bowl , add 5 tablespoons of PB , 2 tablespoons of butter and 2.5 tablespoons of Jam , stir it all in together then go climb a tree while you eat it so your housemates dont see anything to criticise you for ;)
@@heartobefelt yep, or you could warm the pb in the microwave if you want to avoid dairy butter.
For toast it's butter sprinkles and honey ... mmmm yummy yumm
Great video's just recently started watching. Amazing unimog. Fantastic seeing a beautiful woman not afraid to do what is needed to get the job done. Will keep following your great video's in the future. Are you planning any other countries in the future? Have seen a few unimog vehicle's in the past but none of them off road. Keep having fun keep the videos coming. Good Luck in your future adventures.
Hi Guys, loving the build and the adventures!! I am wondering if I could be so cheeky to ask is how do/did you guys fund all this as I never see you leave for work? Also, with finding the maxtrax, try using a steel rod as they do when trying to locate people in the snow or as Chris said, to put the leash on them!!
Thank you Peter for following along! The build was mostly funded by the sell of our Jeep & all our camping gear, our savings and our TH-cam income (our full-time job). We definitely need to put the leash on them 😅
@@TheOutFit Ha Ha, you are very luck to be doing what you are doing and we are definitely jealous here!! Keep up the great trips and keep us in the know of any off road tips and tricks!! Pete
Loved this , Ange you are a real adventurer warrior , love how you crawled around that sand and was still smiling and laughing 😂, just loving the adventure. Well I am a fan of both PNB and HUMMUS. Here is a few of my peanut butter combinations that I like; ready 😊 PNB stewed apple and cream on toast, PNB and beetroot from a tin on a sandwich, PNB and salad sandwich or roll, PNB. Slice of Orange and onion on a sandwich. PNB cottage cheese and stewed peaches or sliced preserved peaches on toast, PNB on apple slices, PNB banana and cheese on sandwich or Toast with the cheese grilled, PNB with almost any jam on toast (also Vegemite with jam on toast yum) and add cheese to that combination if you like. PNB and honey and add cream if you like. PNB honey and banana on bread or toast. Like Chris I love PNB in case you couldn’t tell. Oh and PNB and sliced crystallised ginger on bread or toast. PNB on celery sticks.
Hummus I like to use on sandwiches, for dipping, with salads , celery and carrot sticks .
Any way that’s enough Chris probably has plenty of his own PNB specialty combinations 😊
Thanks for another great episode
PNB on celery ftw
the air pressure has to be even lower in sand and mud. the contact area of the tires must be doubled
thank you for the great video as wish best your traveling around Australia

amazing videos, greetings from IRAQ :)
Thank you for watching all the way from Iraq!
You got to get that box protected with some bar work.
For soft sections consider using a bit of momentum to carry you over before Maxtrax.
I I only saw after that you intended to test the Maxtrax.
Yeah, 20 in the front and 25 in the rear for that fluffy sand.
Peanut butter and jam for the win 👌
Bloody great. When you getting guards for the side of the box ?
Awesome!!👍👍
