I don't always look for the easy way, it's not always the best way and I'm not fucken lazy, however sometimes I like ease-of-use and when I go into the outback or wilderness taking some complexity out

I recently spent a few days working with a TV crew to produce stills while they filmed some episodes of a 4x4 TV show called 4wd TV. It is a fairly well viewed show here in Australia and has a few million

I've mentioned a time or two that I'm in the planning phase for a 12-18 month road trip around Australia with my last post about it talking a little about the financial aspect in a very basic way which

What a long journey it's been. If we never see another sheet of plywood again it'll be too soon. But, despite the hard slog, we feel pretty happy that it's finished and it's all better than expected. First

It seems popular to constantly drive towards more and more things these days, to want more, and when it comes to acquiring those things people often resort to credit because they either don't want to wait

It's about nature, that's why I off-road. - galenkp - I feel better out there in the wilderness, more connected to the planet and myself which is something I don't feel as deeply in the city - The further

It's always somewhat dangerous for me to get into environments like this because there's a high chance of seeing something that I want...and will then convince myself I need which means there's a strong

I was out for dinner with a person who has not been in my life for very long; we've known each other for a few years but only as general acquaintances so we didn't know a whole lot about each other. That

I would quite like a Suzuki Jimny, a real one, but it's hard to justify, given I live in a city, hardly drive and only have room for one car, and we are not getting rid of the MX-5 we have (can you sense

Another sweltering day in this part of the world. What we've had for the past couple of weeks or so is a proper European summer. I can't say I particularly enjoy it, but I can't complain either. Rain was

Did you know that the difference between fog and mist is that with the former one cannot see more than 1000 metres and the latter, mist, one can; that's my understanding of it anyway. So, I'm calling this

We'd had an offer the day before to go for a 4x4 drive with some locals, but as I wasn't feeling well, I didn't want to sit in a car all day. Funnily enough, that's just what would happen! We'd been given

Saludos y buenas vibras. Ir de viaje en una ruta en carro también puede contar como una actividad física, más aún cuando te tienes que bajar muchas veces para realizar trabajos para que el vehículo no

WE'VE NEARLY FINISHED THE 4X4 EXPEDITION VEHICLE OF OUR DREAMS! Well, nearly - we have to say making the Defender 130 into a pop top would be the absolute dream, but hey! Second best dream! We're absolutely

Today we did a lot in the Land Rover. I was thinking about @trucklife-family and what she said about physical labour and problem solving being good for mental health. It's part of the reason why we create

Phew, that was a long drive for a weekend. It always takes longer than you think - Australian distances are really vast. We took most of Friday to drive to Beachport in South Australia before a relaxing

If there was any time I wanted to rant and complain it's today! Actually, any day is as good as any other for it, but crikey, this one has right royally flummoxed us! So, first of all, acknowledge the

This weekend my internal fairies copped a battering as Jamie got a bit sweary and fed up with the hours we've been spending on building this expedition vehicle. Each time he swore and got impatient, one

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. - Roger Miller - The alarm went off at 5am and, as usual, I woke up...(it's always a good day when I wake up...rolled over and fell out of bed then got
