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!

What I thought minimum requirements for 4x4ing was an 79 with 4inch lift and 35s 😂

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 KZread. 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!

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.

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.

@@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. :-)

That's cool

No drama's!! Haha you sound so chill! Going to try this with my jeep & I loved this video, cool calm & well explained.

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.

Love your work Michael. You have great enthusiasm for everything you do and it shows in the end result.

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

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.

This is the best sand driving instructional video I've seen. Very detailed in different scenarios.

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

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

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!

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)👍

I have no words to describe how grateful am I hit your channel. Best videos ever. Ya legend.👏👏

Mate, you did it again - you put a lot of effort to make a great and helping video. My humble bow to you.

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!

Just found this channel, absolutely brilliant mate. Glad you're making content again!

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

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

Thanks mate! I'm literally going for my first beach run this coming weekend. Absolutely perfect timing!

Great video mate. I think a lot of tubers are afraid of instructional vids because of negative comments or they are afraid of sounding condescending but I wish there were more of these types of vids. Lots of great tips and straight to the point as well

Another informative & entertaining video. Thanks Michael, keep 'em coming.

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 .

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!

Thanks for such a terrific video Hittn the sand for first time in april Ur tips huge help i took notes n stored them in notes on phone so i reflect on them Love the motto too ‘Seek advemture’

Your an absolute inspiration mate, keep up the great work! 👌🏽

Flawless videos. So much hard work behind this and always with smiles.

Thanks Michael, this is a great beginners vid, love the comedy thrown in.

Great video, just bought my first 4WD and learnt some great tips regarding tyre pressures and tips to get myself out of trouble. Thanks.

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!

Great video mate, I've done a (very) little bit of 4WD-ing, it never hurts to refresh on techniques. Thanks again - Peter V.

I loved watching this video. Alot of good knowledge. Thanks mate I learnt alot.

Nice video mate, appreciate the time you put into helping others. cheers.

Hey Michael, as an old fart I had never done soft sand driving and went through a very rough ride to Burrum Point. Managed a bit of internet to get your video, and the trip was transformed! You taught me how to (a) drive through soft sand, (b) learn throttle control. Have a gorgeous BT-50 called Miriam who really has had a hard time going through sand until you advised me. Now she is transformed and pulls a 1.5 tailor. Thank you.

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.

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.

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 :)

Awesome mate! Thanks for sharing 👍

Always quality, never fail to produce. Well done mate.

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.

That was awesome. Taking my 1st new Prado down to Coffin Bay in SA tomorrow. Have all the gear plus more that you have suggested. You've certainly given me some confidence! Thanks.

Awesome video great display ..new to the 4x4 scene ...top notch ..

one of the best videos on Beach driving. keep it up mate.

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!!

Love this video. Thanks for the tips.

This is one of the most informative video's I have seen, thanks mate, well done.

Another great Video, well done.

Thanks mate - you make really good vids - your personality, experience and presentation make you ideal for this platform. Stick with it !!! I can see you getting to 1M subscribers :)

Great vid! I wish I had seen that when I was your age. I started out with a clunking "Datsun" Patrol, zero torque and weighed like a tank (3 speed gearbox). That was my baptism of fire. I got bogged so many times on Fraser it was a joke even with deflated tyres. But I learned. My trusted island hopper now is a Suzuki xl-7. with a 2 inch lift, higher wall tyres, and 12 psi, it is unstoppable. I think every time I go to Moreton or Fraser, "should I bring the Maxtracks or not?" I still bring them. Everything you said is great and vital to new players. Well done and keep up the good work. Love your enthusiasm. BTW, I bought that cage climbing device from your other video....excellent!

Glad I found your video lots of great information. thanks

I learned so much. I love this channel!

Beautiful location, great drone shots, very reassuring as i go to the beach for the first time tomorrow! Thanks

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👍👍

Outstanding information. Thanks so much. Happy travels

Awesome tips thanks mate, hope to see you at Perth's 4wd show!

Great video. Helped me heaps. Thanks.

Great information! Thank you

This is great. Very useful information and great presentation. Very enjoyable. Most helpful 4x4 site I have found so far. Thanks. Keith

Awesome video buddy well explained and good tips,and it’s all about tyre pressure,now I know what to do and how to get out in a sticky situation on the beach Thanks mate

Great videos, I stumbled across this channel after my first trip onto sand. I wish I had found it first, that way I could have followed his best tip "get out and take a photo" luckily had a mate that was able to supply me of all the photos of me getting stuck.

Great advice and heaps of tips, cheers bud

Please please plllleeeaaassaeee do more beginners videos. Love all your videos mate. Wife and I have just started out 4wding. I was deadset against the beach till I had my winch. Now I’m not worried. Maybe even a dedicated beginners series could be a good idea? 😉

Top video mate. Keep them coming. Cheers.

As a owner of a new BT50 thanks for the tuition of turning OFF the traction control and the reasoning behind it 👍

Thanks mate great tip and advice thumbs up!

Thanks mate,nicely done👍

Great information, Thanks for sharing

Hey Michael great informative video. Keeping it simple and tyre pressures low. 👍

Great video with very informative an valuable information, thanks for sharing. That place looks amazing, reminds me of Cape Town South Africa on the west coast. PS kayak paddle makes a great shovel too if the little one can’t reach the under belly. Keep up the good content 🤘🏽

Great stuff for newbies. It is amazing how you can screw things up even when you are experienced. I remember driving around up at Sandy Cape in our old 60 series and the whole day I was thinking, boy, the sand is soft today. The cruiser just didn't feel normal and everything seemed extra boggy. It wasn't until near the end of the day that I finally realised that I hadn't locked the front hubs in. Not something drivers of newer 4x4s will need to worry about but I guess it shows just how amazing the old 60 was on sand. She didn't bog even though I had been in 2wd all day. Got close once though :)

Are you sure somebody didn't do the old unlock the hubs trick!? 😂 It happens to the best of us though. If anything it just shows how the good ole 60 series don't even need 4wd, that's how good those old buses are haha. I imagine Sandy Cape would have looked very different back then!

@@SeekAdventure Actually it wasn't too different, the campsite was a lot smaller but once all the shacks got taken down it didn't change much for a long time. A real shame the old shacks had to go, some of them were amazing. I could kick myself for not taking pics of them when I had the chance.

Good piece mate, thanks.

Great video. Very informative. I feel more confident hitting the beach.

Great Tutorial!! Thank you so much. Best is "it's fun!"

thanks for sharing some great info Michael.

Very informative as always,, I enjoyed the video, thanks

Been driving beaches for a few years now, never been bogged.. Touch wood.. But still watched your video, cause they are awesome! Hey if your ever in Brisbane would love to go for a wheel..

Very helpful. Thank you. Top bloke.

Great video mate well.done ♥️♥️♥️

Hi Michael, very informative video for us beginners. 'It's all about the tyre pressure', too right mate. And by the way, that jiggling is the devils work, especially when you don't have your seat belt on!!! Hahaha. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖😎
