Teamwork. Teamwork. Teamwork.

Our number one recovery training rule is simple.

Before anyone does anything, decide who is in charge of the recovery. Then train and practise that way. Always. No exceptions.

The person in charge (usually not the driver) is going to call the shots and decide who is doing what, and when.

Recoveries go a lot safer and smoother after that.

So do a few other things........

Small towns. Good coffee.

Enough said.

Have a great week

We're only visitors here.
Wherever we travel, we're the guests. It belongs to the locals.
It's their home, not a zoo. Even it feels like one sometimes.

Have a great weekend.

“Australia is an honest testing ground.”

This customer video probably explains EarthCruiser DNA better than we ever could.

You’re a long way from anywhere out here. If it rains, you may be staying a while. So be prepared.

Flat tyres are going to happen — that mulga scrub eats them. If you are too heavy, it is hard on the gear… and hard on the driver too.

This is not proving grounds or marketing exercises. It is real customers. Real places. Real conditions. Really having a ball.

And we are forever grateful to them.

Way back in yesterday year… 2012.

One of the first Overland Expo events.

USA seeing an EarthCruiser for the first time. We were lucky enough to have one of our Australian customers (he is actually a New Zealander, but we won’t hold that against him) driving through and parking his truck at the show for us.

Over the years these shows have educated people pretty quickly.

What works, what lasts, and what starts to matter once the trip actually begins.

The overland crowd asks much better questions now than they used to.

Probably why the industry is changing so fast as well. Better systems, better components and a lot more people paying attention to how these vehicles are actually used instead of just how they look parked somewhere.
Feels like we are only just getting started really.

Have a great weekend.

Sadly we all see it to often.

A burned-out car dumped in a beautiful forest.

Before dragging this one out for collection, it turned into a pretty good way to demonstrate recovery and vehicle righting safely in a controlled environment.

Getting the chance to do recovery practice/training with upside down cars off road does not happen everyday.. Most people don’t get real experience until the day they really didn’t want it.

Overland Expo has always done a great job getting people willing to share knowledge before something goes wrong under pressure.

Thank you Oregon National Guard leaving the bush cleaner than we found it.

It is looking like another excellent summer of the overland shows and expos. Good times to check out the latest and greatest, and maybe do some shoppin.

Big wheels and tyres (tires?) usually mean a heavy truck.

Nothing wrong with that, I think they look great. Just worth thinking it all the way through.

Every one gets a flat tyre sooner or later. Heavy wheel and tyres feel a bit different when you’re changing one on the side of the road in the heat.

Big wheels combos don’t only have to look good, you have to live with them too.

A gear selection question that passes nearly any test —

Is this thing I am coveting giving me more time, or just one more thing to spend time on?

Is it just stuff, or is it helping provide the one thing money can’t?

Have a great weekend.
