So we have had the discussion on Ronny Dahl's vids on Youtube but I wanted to bring up the Trip vids that the peeps at 4WD Action started posting about 10 months ago.
If it has already been covered then please point me to that thread and and forget this one even exists.
If not, allow me to carry on.
These guys are tackling all sorts of terrain, mild to wild, in what many would consider mildly modified rigs and doing just fine.
There are a handful of the rides that have 35 inch tires but most are running smaller tires, a mild lift, some lockers and a winch and that's about it.
Most of the time they just set up camp in these little one or two person canvas tents that have mattresses built in like a roof top tent might.
They generally have a fridge and camp stove but end up cooking on the fire a lot.
As I am in the middle of my very own all-terrain-travel-machine build as we speak, it really makes me think about what I need and what I don't as far as vehicle mods and camp gear goes.
I am surprised by some of the things these guys are using that work really well that I have never seen anyone use in the United States.
Of course I am also amazed at how often these guys go barefoot living in the land where nearly all of the most deadly things in the world live.
Anyway they have about 20 or 30 trip specific vids up right now so I won't bother linking any one in particular.
However, If you are bored and want to educate yourself in the art of off roading I can't recommend their vids enough.
They are all about 45 minutes long and I haven't come across a lame one yet.
