Keeping in mind the topic of this post - the toll that conditions on our outback tracks can take - and the criticism of Roothy, I reckon Roothy's made many people aware of what can go wrong when you're off the beaten track and the need to be, at least, a bit self reliant.
I'm no longer a subscriber to 4WD Action but I'll buy the magazine if something catches my eye, or I know that something I'm interested in is in the mag.
In the past they have had things break and with make shift repairs to get somewhere they can fix it properly. I've learnt a lot over the years, or at least become aware of what can go wrong from the magazines and videos.
Mick's videos go to another level and I now know from experience that even when you think you have everything sorted something will go wrong, especially when you travelling as a part of a group. It all adds to the adventure.
Anyway, I don't reckon Roothy should be bagged out just because his head in front of a magazine that is encouraging thousands of families to get out and explore Australia.
I've got to say Mick, your compilation of bush repairs is fascinating, interesting and great homework. I've sent the link to my mates for them to
check it out.
Don't get famous or they might want to cut you down.
Have a great Sunday,
Steve.
