Could you survive in the Australian outback with only your knife, a cast iron frypan, a soup pot, your hard-driving 4x4, 150liters of fuel, 70 liters of water, a shovel, a winch, a bedroll, and a saw??
>>2855854Do I have my pet kangaroo to scout for me?
>>2855854no, stabbed and all said items stolen by an abo on the first night.

Winch not required. Otherwise, no.
>>2855854easy cos I grew up watching old m8 Les, also Igrew up in the bush hunting.p.s all his series are free on youtube on the abc channel
>>2855902>Winch not required.RIP anon.
>>2855906you don't need a winch for 90% of the 4wding in the outback, it's flat and sandy most of the time. And if you're in a dire survival situation then you're going to be working damned hard to make sure you're never in a situation where you will need a winch, especially if alone.
>>2855928Spoken like someone who has never actually driven in the outback, sand can get you bogged and literally half the country turns into a mud pit during wet season.
>>2855928you never need a winch, the whole purpose of 4x4'ing, lift, lockers, tires etc is to never need the winch. and most of the time we dont need it, because we are kitted out well enough. but in the rare times you do get stuck so bad you need it and then its a life saver. you should be driving atleast two in such settings and pulling each other out is better than winching. i got a warn 8000 with brackets ready to put in my jeep, but i dont feel the need for lt? i yank out cars from the ditch regulary with said jeep, my daily driver land rover or my awd transit. i never really need a winch to save my own ass.
>>2856037Been bogged in sand more times than you've had hot suppers, never needed a winch and most times didn't even need a tow, just a shovel and 2 max tracks. Rear locker does most of the work. >>2856043Have been on many a 4wd trip in groups, most people had winches and never used them. A tow from the person in front is much quicker and easier, winch seems to be an absolute last resort if it all turns to absolute shit.
Just say desert. The outback is a desert. I prefer to stay in the mountains.
>>2855854I can survive anywhere as long as I have a rifle and good water and food. Everything else is a luxury.
>>2856059>as I have a rifleSo, no?
>>2855854>150 liters of fuelNot enough.
>>2856059Antarctica. You only have a rifle, water, and food. You have no clothes or shelter.What do?
>>2856044exactly. but im a friensless looser who does all my offroading alone. sand beaches is one of the things i try to avoid since sand is one of the worst and most unpredicable terrains to drive on. not that there are many sand beaches in norway, but they do exist... snow is actually easier, it behaves in a predictable way.

>>2856104Are there any offroading/4wd clubs you can join? And I don't mean facebook groups.I joined a local club and while it may be 90% boomers it still allows me to drive my car in places I wouldn't dream of doing alone.
>>2856117was member of one it was how i got into it. they where mostly into trial and racing and not so much touring and overlanding.
>>2855854I couldn't survive anything. I'm just built different.
