All 4 Adventure TV show

[Chippy76]

Hey Swaggers,

I tuned into a tv show yesterday called "all 4 adventure", has anyone seen this show ?
I have to admit that I  have only watched the one show, but their total disregard for safety scared the s**t out of me!

They got a Land cruiser bogged to its gearbox, then attempted a recovery with a winch , and maxtracks. All the time stepping over the loaded cable, and standing next to the winch while winching. I know these shows are designed to be used as health and safety videos, but their blatant disregard for safety is attrocious!

One of the things I like about Pat Callinans show is that he is sensible on the way he treats the environment (not tearing the tracks up like these guys) and he is conscious about safety when doing recovery.

Ok rant over .. (maybe this should be in another thread ... lol)

Cheers Chippy

Yes, seen many episodes and I like it simply for the entertainment it provides. I try not to over analyse anything on TV as they all have many errors and faults.

Yesterday was the first time I watched it too. Snapping the axle (CV?) on the Cruiser was on the cards the way they were recovering. It killed 15 minutes of my time though! (I recorded it and fast forwarded the adds and product plugs).

I don't understand what all the fuss is about - complaining about how unsafely they do things?

Lets just say that this show is just pure Aussie entertainment and I love that they are just so Bogan. It sort of makes for an interesting show rather than Pat Callinan(who does some great treks- however he can be a bit dul)l.

All 4 adventure is the show that if i went to my mates and said- lets go on a trip and just do what we like and film it.
Thats why i like it i guess- the adds do annoy me but taping it a FF the adds is the go!

You should try the "Top of Down Under" (Sundays 6.30pm on chan 44 in Adelaide).

I'm sure you'll find the hostesses MUCH more appealing (I do  )

Here's an exert...

Yep  I'll drink to that

I can't stand that whinny voice she has.  I think they need a new presenter, however, I give the girls full credit for at least giving it a shot.  Have always said Boobs will get more hits than Balls when it comes to TV ratings.

She has a voice ?

[Kit_e_kat9]

She has a voice ?

LOL!    

I get a bit the same with those bronzed bods on A4A.  Did you see that huge fish?  What fish?  Stuck in the mud and broke something?  What mud?  Used maxtracks?  I didn't see them!     I really dislike it when they are wearing shirts.

MHO.
Poster boys for skin cancer.
If they got there act together a bit earlier they wouldn't have needed the heavy advertising and we might have had a good show.

Grave dig...

I streamed a few eps of season 8 last night, this is their WA coast trip, I must say the production quality has improved since they have been on FTA TV. They have also dropped a lot of the product spiel and just have product placement. They push their gear and themselves to the edge, bordering on silly. However I quite enjoyed it.

[jwb]

I watched a part of that one I think.
The one in the cut 200 stood on the winch rope while while the 76 was winching!
That made my skin crawl🤕
That aside, I don't mind watching their adventures
Cheers

annnd..................everyone is soooo perfect..............FFS.

Get of ya high horses people..............I think Id be fair in saying that everyone has done something unsafe/silly/stupid/not OH&S compliant/down right ridiculous in the past, whether it be 4wding, camping, fishing, bushwalking or just going to the bloody shops, most of us aren't narcissistic enough to broadcast in on TV (let alone a camper forum).

They are out exploring this great land of ours and having a whale of a time doing so. If we get 15min or an hour to escape reality and watch/dream/plan then they have done their job.

IMO, it's a refreshing change from the ad filled "mr 4x4". offroad adventure show, 4WD craption dvd's etc.

The point is, these guys ARE broadcasting it on TV. It's irresponsible to show recoveries being done in an unsafe way.

I quite like the show, but they really should get their act together with regard to doing recoveries correctly.

In what way???

I've been involved in 4wd comps for over 15 years including directing events, I've yet (other than standing too close to the winch whilst winching) that I would deem "unsafe". The jumping up and down on the winch rope was stupid however, it wasn't under any real load nor posed any real danger other than him being run over. I've yet to see an unsafe recovery set up i.e. snatch over the towball, no dampener, attaching snatch to bulbar, non rated recovery points etc......
I'd be more concerned about the lack of enclosed footwear when they are walking around (I've been reprimanded by a 4WD club in QLD whereas in WA thongs have been acceptable)

^^^  x 3....   ffs  these clowns are "promoting" this behavior by defacto...

Even on the most simplistic level - (that being of their own self preservation); one would have hoped they would have done better....  (Not to be standing on a winch cable as its under tons of load...  wtf)...

And by "preservation" I am not talking about their mortality and life and limb either - (even though that ought to be self evident, lol)....

As tv producers - I am talking about the preservation of their show; their sponsors; their incomes; their professionalism; their credibility; and of the thing they love doing; etc...)
