Guys..just so you all know...our front winch was broken 🤕 We have had a lot of comments suggesting we use some sort of land anchor to winch off of. This was impossible for us at the time because, as we said, our winch was busted!! Thanks for all the comments though guys! We're loving hearing from you all!!

I love how the wife keep the moral up and mood. not angry and blaming and all and ruin anyone's day. that is the right attitude for an adventurer.

That was one of the most incredible recoveries I've ever seen. Not just because it was so freaking hard, but you somehow treated each other kindly. Well done, and wow - just wow.

Based on where you go and what you are driving, I would suggest some pneumatic lift bags. We had them when I was a firefighter for rescue work. They are very thin, have a large surface area, can conform to the shape of the object being lifted, are highly puncture resistant, and can lift a tremendous amount of weight with just compressed air. Your situation is obviously too soft for a conventional jack. The surface area of the lift bags overcomes this, and because they are thin, you only need a cm or two to get it under the vehicle. Once lifted, you can place your mats under the tire instead of trying to drive on to them

OMG. That couple of minutes (for us on the video) of you rocking back and forth just trying to make a few extra inches of run up was intense. I even yelled when you finally got out. I can only imagine what joy you both must have felt when it finally came out. Great work!

I’ve just discovered you guys and having watched this video I have to say that you are both awesome people. The relationship you have with each-other is incredible. There are very few people that have the ability to stay that calm, retain their sense of humour, support each-other and to talk so nicely to each-other in the face of adversity. Good luck with the repairs, looking forward to following you on your adventures.

It's extraordinary that a husband and wife can bear the loss of a whole family stuck in the middle of nowhere, great👍👍👍

I am thousands of miles away in the UK, but I screamed with you when that truck came out of the mud !!!!!! thanks for sharing , subscribed love Rachael P x

What a team effort. First time viewer of your channel and I got to say that I love how you own your mistakes but then just figure it all out calm as F$%k and just get the job done all on your own together. That was a massive effort, no front winch, no 4Wd, just a shit load of digging and some max tracks. I don't think a lot of people know what a feat that was given the size of your rig. Total respect to you both.

Epic recovery. That’s what dads do! Solve problems no Matt how big! Well done👌👍👍

Changing the travel vlogging game and Raising the bar forever high. This is how it is done. Well done guys 🎉

We've all been there...lessons not learnt in blood and suffering are soon forgotten..flood country is a no go zone... great work in staying together and working as a team...and thank you for the awesome footage...all's well ends well...

You guys are just champions. What Stella examples to your kids of acting with character in tough times. This was one of the best outback vids I've seen, mainly because you were real, you were vulnerable, positive mindsets. I have to say your ability to keep your cool and support each other is inspirational. Lastly, I teared up when the emotion of finally getting the truck out overflowed in the cab. Good on you both. And happy mothers day.

Subscribed after the first minute! What a rig, adventure and story to tell into the future! Love you both keep positive in the stressful times. Don't beat yourself up so much mate, stuff happens when your out having a go at life. The camerawork, vlogging the whole challenge and editing was well done. Great talk at the end! I'm watching your adventures from now.

This is the best KZfaq video ever. So well put together capturing the drama and intensity of the the whole situation. Wlwe could feel the frustration and emotions that are a part of a situation like this. Congrats on the video and for getting out of the bog. And thank you for rhe effort you go to to document your adventures❤

What a dumbbell!

Ahhh, the feeling of unbogging yourself is soo good!! God bless the family ❤

Well done guys, cool heads prevailed and its amazing what persistence can do. Keep up the great work and being well prepared, good knowledge and a good team will get you along way.

New subscriber, and love how real and genuine you guys are. In the most tense moment you guys worked together and got out. Well done!!!

Just found your channel a few days ago. Really like seeing all the out of the way places we don't see anywhere else. Never seen anything like it before and I am an old person now. Love your family Keep it all coming . Thanks

You guys have two new subscribers. We were so impressed with your adventure. Full marks for staying so calm and rational during a crisis. Your efforts in getting unstuck were first class. Cheers.

This brought back some memories for us 😬 You guys did so well though. Glad you’re all out and ok 🤙 Stop beating yourself up, this is all part of being out there living the dream.

I have to say, the attention to detail you put in your videos is top notch, the subtitles are very appreciable as a non native speaker. Now I do fully understand and speak English but sometimes when the volume is low or when the person is not facing the camera it's not easy to understand what's being said and you make it easy for us. So thank you, you've earned yourself a new subscriber from France !👋

Incredible determination and calm problem solving. Gripping viewing! Thanks for sharing the story.

Some of the greatest understatement made in the commentary. What an adventure that was. You won't forget the mission to retrieve your truck in a hurry. Safe travels. Keep on with the great vlogs.

What a fab couple! Your wife never stopped smiling throughout the whole scenario, And very well behaved children i must say. Well done Dad for all that digging 👍👍👍 Great adventures to you all, Mick.

The respect you give each other is absolutely breathtaking - You both deserve to follow your dreams without question you both will navigate anything as a team - congratulations and thank you for brilliant vids.

Epic recovery...in the dark, in the mud, in the rain...I'm exhausted just watching. My new hero's! "Well done guys" 👏

Well done guys, I knew you could get out, glad you are all safe now. Thanks for the content

I wanted to watch this but I can only take so many 'Babes and Dads'

I love your calm and the persistance! It reminds me when we got bogged with a storm approaching in South Lake Eyre in 1995 with our L300 4x4 MK1. We didn't even had a shovel and used our cooking pan!!! After an hour or so got out off trouble. Maxtrax weren't invented back then... Since that day, I would not travel without a high lift jack and 2-3 big wood block to put underneath. Cheers from Switzerland

This is why you guys, Aussies, are legend!!! Hard work, good spirits, smart and perseverance!

Crackin' episode guys. What a situation you got your mob into. Great job perceiving with your bogging and getting it out. Loving your channel and your beautiful little family. Don't change👌

Wow. To say that was a HUGE effort is the understatement of the year. Great job!!! And thank you for continuing to record everything as it gives the rest of us a brilliant insight into what can go wrong in the middle of nowhere. 🙂

You will not forget that FU for a while. A good story for around the dining room table with friends.

L'aventure n'est pas toujours facile, c'est ce qui forge l'humain. 🇫🇷😉

That was epic, what a battle you guys had, shows the importance of recovery boards, winches and shovels. Glad to see you got out of the bog. You guys are living the dream and getting on with life.

Use the rear winch, bury the spare tire behind the caravan as an anchor point, use a snatch block to move the caravan back away from the Isuzu. Now you've got room to use the rear winch and anchor to ease the Isuzu back out of the bog. :)

My new favorite channel. I love you guys. A big THANK YOU for videoing so much of your efforts, when you were u p to your eyeballs in challenges! You give me inspiration ( and remind me of some pretty special days when I took my family on adventures). I miss those days, so enjoy them, lumps and all! And know that you don't always have loved ones around forever. God bless.

The journey with little trouble is the hopeful one. A trip with little trouble is an excellent one.

Unreal guys, well done and hats if to you both for keeping it calm and working hard. This would have been tough even tougher documenting it for us to watch and learn. Love it i just subed to your channel.🎉

So much fun, I almost would like to be there, almost. Glad you all are safe and healthy.

Nice to see that the two of you roll with punches. Didn't get too upset, didn't make a big fuss. Simply got to work and solved the problem. Great Job!

hats off to you guy's, you stuck at it where others would have grown the towel in. well done, everyday's an adventure, onward and upward.......🤟

Glad to see y’all get it out. Research burying a spare tire for a winch anchor. Might come in handy on down the road.

CV is my bet. The isuzu 300 CV seem to break when at high load and steering wheel turned to lock. Another youtuber had the exact thing happen on fraiser. He ended up using the bump stop bolt to make it so he could not get full lock. Man you were on mission to dig that out, great job by all of you. The digger, the driver, the nanny :).

Being stuck is part of going off-road. Spending time with family is worth a bit of hard work. Traveling with family is one of my favorite things. Keep at it. Don't let haters bother you. Can't wait to get out with our new trailer. Maybe we will get to Australia some day. We are in the US...

Top Tip. Burry the spare wheel away in front of the truck, hook the winch cable through the centre of the wheel to a tyre iron or big spanner and then pull yourself out up to the spare. Drive safe.

You both put in an incredible effort to recover yourselves ahead of any potential inclement weather. Of course I wasn't in your situation to start with, however there's no way I would have attempted the crossing in the first place. I think you've learned your lesson, if not, maybe read up on risk management ;). Great work team, very well done!!!! thank you for the content and your time. Cheers.

Incredible and excellent at the same time, a family united by kindness, accompanied by enormous support. Yours truly.

So proud of you both. How you kept mentioning prayer is an answer to prayer. Dad you the man taking responsibility for your decisions and how mum showed her love for you and your children. Your family relationship is so solid. Do what you can and trust God to look after you. Your are always in our prayers. - Future Isuzu NPS 75/155 + Caravan grey nomads.

Crazy towing such a huge van! You pay a high price for ‘convenience’! WEIGHT is the enemy of this sort of activity, two coffee machines?😂😂

I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel guys, your positive attitude towards everything and each other is so refreshing compared to all the doom and gloom or over dramatised content of today….👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Stay blessed and together always. I love watching the videos and also how you two function together perfectly, cheers

The joys in tribulations of travelling and experiencing the ups and downs. I say well donary both kept calm and cool and bingo, you're out and on the road again.

Great adventures , admire your bravery for attempting this trip especially with deadly reptiles ect kicking about around those areas . If i had the money I would have used a "Unimog " based like your Isuzu . Much envy to you , I hope this little mud hole had taught lessons . Keep Safe

Seriously nail biting episode.. loved it!! Would of absolutely sucked at the time but definitely entertaining to watch 😁 hoping we never end up that bad but definitely taking some tips for when we are trucking around in the mud 😉☺️

Love it when going against intuition, pig headedly and stubbornly not giving in , then shock horror nature teaches yet another lesson. Everyone known,on the outback plains, water can cause immense issues,especially under ahumans weight, let alone a heavy rig.

Wow! I just found you guys! Watching that recovery was scary. I felt it all with you, holding my breath and cheering when you finally got it out! That's teamwork! 👏🏼👏🏼🙌

Idk how you guys manage to keep such a positive outlook in the face of adversity, what an absolute team you both are!

Great work team to keep it all together in that situation! What an epic life lesson and to keep filming was impressive. I think filming for KZfaq would have been a very low priority if we were in that situation! I think I would have tried burying the spare wheel with a strap attached and then hooking the winch up. Did the truck break a CV as you thought? Looking forward to your next epic life lesson :).

We have been following you recently. watch now from the beginning. wow what beautiful vlogs. we look with excitement and beautiful places. and your wonderful family. you live such a beautiful and simple and enjoyable life. Love from Jose and Richard from Holland

Wow that was epic. Great video, your daughter is so good with the boys keeping them undercover and entertained while you guys struggled with the truck what a life skill for a teenage girl to be helping mum with the kids and having amazing parents to learn from. We love your videos and look forward to seeing more. Travel safe.

Brilliant whole family effort! World-class video too. Thanks for this

This is the first content I've seen from you guys, but is some of the best I've seen. Mum / Dad.... some of the best teamwork I've ever seen. When things are turning south, you both banded together and worked superbly to achieve your goal. Well done on getting out and at the same time providing some amazing content.

Well done! You got out. There is nothing worse than getting bogged in mud, dirty, sticky, exhausting work. Kudos!!!!!

Well there is only two words for you guys “ Bloody Legends “ NEVER GAVE UP , STAYED POSITIVE AND FOCUSED ( with a few laughs ) So much Respect for you guys. If anyone ever finds themselves in a predicament. This is the way to get out of it Bloody Awesome job guys. And yes. YOU SHOULD BE BLOODY PROUD OF YOURSELVES 🫵🫵🫵🙌🙌🙌❤️ Cheers Brad and Fi

Circus music would have been more appropriate 😂

Why did you go through the gate when it said no entry without prior approval?

Well!!!, what a mammoth effort from you two, I never thought you would get out of that bog so well done and it's great to see a show at last that is all aussie and looking forward to more so keep it up and good luck Cheers

Mistakes happen, but good work getting out!. Good to see you two in high spirits about that mess and keeping a calm head. Definitely some valuable lessons learned here. I've busted u joints and knuckles before putting power to a steer axle at full lock because I had no other choice. Then it's a worse situation with three, or even worse, two wheel drive. One tip for getting out of slick spots is to power brake. Don't mess with a handbrake. Foot on the brake, foot on the throttle, and let off the foot brake. Maybe you guys tried it, but a lot of people don't know about that little trick. It's gotten me out of more than a few slick situations in passenger vehicles and loaded semis at 105,000 pounds (about 48,000 kg).

Hi Dad. Perhaps that closed gate and warning sign on Binns Track was a message that the track was closed?????

You guy's are amazing 👏 that was some effort to get out of there, hope it didn't cost to much to fix the truck, your wife is amazing to keep her spirits up and looking after the kids, I bet the little ones thought it was alot of fun, ha ha 😅 hats off to you all for keeping your cool, well done ❤ from rick in Perth, Australia 🇦🇺 cheers 🍻

Your relationship is like an aircraft carrier. Total team work she never panics and sets you off. Beautiful to see. Great parenting skills on display. True team work... Can we have a vote😆

I have had a couple of major bogs like that, but I was a shitty, short tempered fool, I was happy to see you so calm and cool. I dont think people understand the feeling of guilt, anger and even a little scared when in a remote area worrying about the cost of tow trucks if needed

Well what do you expect when you take a bloody big heavy truck and caravan through some boggy ground.

Those damn flies would drive me nuts!!

Thank you KZfaq algorithm for the recommendation! What an amazing adventure. Inspirational. Unwavering positivity in the face of so much unknown. Wow. Definitely clicking subscribe. Much love from the USA.

Way more money than common since . They need to stay closer to civilization so they can buy they're way out of problems.

Why would you even get close to the water in a vehicle that looks like a train and probably weights as much??? By the looks of the underside of that vehicle it was not built to go off road!!!

That's amazing. I can not imagine the mosquitos. They never let up! Well done!

what a epic journey can't wait for your next journey 10/10.

When the roads just there why would you drive through the mud hole

Sorry, dude, but that was a really poor decision, but we are all allowed a few of these in life. Learn from it and move on. 😊

Glad you are safe now, that was a very difficult situation, way to be so resourceful, Good job family 😊

Man-O- Man... what an awesome job of filming, all those mobile perspectives

The better of all: the mood and kindness btw you both. It is a (really good) inspiration for us. Congratulations and thank you.

Well you did get your selfs in a pickle and you did get your selfs out hats of to youse great video guys👍

There isn't a part of the outback where you can allow yourself to forget what you're doing and lose concentration, especially when you have a wife and three kids in tow, so for that you did deserve your self ass kicking. But having said that I was impressed by your work ethic and calmness at getting yourselves back out again, well done. I managed to break my rear hub studs towing a small camper trailer across the Simpson a while back and was looking at 3 to 4 weeks before a friend drove across from Melbourne to help me get out. I ended up paying Mt Dare $2500 (RACQ paid me back as part of my roadside recovery plan though :) ) to come out and recover me after a few days instead even though I still had 3 or 4 weeks worth of water and food with me.

Initially I watched this video because I’m currently building up a truck to travel around Australia and hopefully the word at some point. The initial draw to the video was, the truck, the travel and the situation of getting bogged as ive definitely been in this situation before. 
The longer the video went on I completely started to ignore all these elements and became hype focused on the relationship you guys all share, initially I was stunned at how incredible Kyla kept so level headed and in control of absolutely everything with very little stress and a hugely immense amount of support and absolutely no intention blame games unless in a joke or banter manner. I was Incredibly impressed with Kyla, what an incredible human with an amazing outlook on every situation in life, but then i realised... it was nothing to do with either of you individually and just an insanely compatible relationship where you both compliment each other in every possible aspect. The care, support, strengths, share of responsibility, love and commitment to each other and the shared dream is honestly one of the most eye opening and beautiful things ive seen in a long time. Im 26, want to travel the world in a truck and sure as anything want to find a love and a bond like the one your family shares, I’m sure theres hard times, nothings ever perfect. I just wanted to comment and let you know that seeing this type of love gave me an extraordinary motivation to go out into the world and take every opportunity to meet and connect with people until I discover a connection like the one you guys share. Literally speechless watching all of you interact together in the most beautifully kind, stunning and supportive and understanding manner. Amazing.

You worked well together in a tough situation and kept each other going. You were tested and succeeded….in my book this is awesome! Well done!!

Now that's edutainment! 💯% Your recovery skills just got a whole lot sharper. You should us that it's not all bouncy bounce sprinkled with some Roos here and there.⚡🛠🏕🌞🦘🌧👍 I'm glad everyone is safe and sound with no trips to the hospital😊

This was an awesome watch - keep it up guys! You rock! :)

Utube recommended...you owe them a beer...your mad loved the video

My first Cartwrights video! You did great! I watch a lot rock crawling and recovery videos, mostly in Utah (absolutely unsurpassed beauty) and Oregon (more unsurpassed beauty) and I kept telling you what to do! But you all did great! Just don't do it again LOL! You have a new subscriber cause those are some beautiful blue eyes you're sporting, I'm going to look for more!

Obsessed with how you two speak to each other!

Ребята, вы супер-молодцы. Справились с очень сложной ситуацией. Не унывали, боролись до конца и победили. Respect.

wow what a life freedom at last from the bog well done to you all hope the rest of your trip goes well good vid all the best from us in DERBY UK

Wow, what an epic bog.....good on you for persevering and getting your family out of possibly danger , that's what a real man does...................epic video indeed

I’m impressed and admire your persistent behavior, great. Keep on trucking🌺
