STRANDED on the BINNS TRACK - BOGGED in our ISUZU NPS 4x4

holy bloody [Music] Welcome to the cartwrights where a family of five traveling to the most remote places our beautiful country has to offer [Music] home on wheels it's not just any home though in our humble little opinion we think it's the coolest house in Australia you know why because we go anywhere in this thing whether it be the beach for the bush the Outback the desert or even the mountaintops anywhere we go you just know you're gonna find us somewhere in the thick of it our Dream since the day my husband and I met has been to touch all corners of this land and now to be able to share it with our children makes us pinch ourselves every bloody day how else do we put it we love our life and we truly believe we're the luckiest and happiest people on the planet sharing this dream of ours we really wouldn't have thought that so many would be interested but the support from our community has now prompted us to share more so as promised here's our life buckle up and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do [Music] this week join us as we tackle the chewed up bins track where Dad has a brain fart and gets us in a spot of bother after a freak storm rolling in to make matters worse see how we managed to get free after 12 hours bogged and what damage we got along the way get your gum boots on this one's gonna be muddy after making it out of the desert in one piece how amazing it was to pull up to a pub our first form of civilization in at least four weeks we wasted no time in ordering a pub meal and stocking up our empty shelves and fridges tell you what the pub meal was a lot better than the weet-bix and water we'd been having [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we're not 10K into the men's truck we just overtook the grade up that's meant to be grading this whole section of Road up to the north apparently it's grading up to the Northern Territory territory border which we're about 15K off but I think it's going to be slow going up to the Border because this road is bad but it's literally a lot of the trucks we go on are like they call them tracks but like they're graded so well you can do 100K an hour on them mate I'm sitting on 20. this is yeah she's bad the Border no water restriction it's not very clear Crossing into the Northern Territory but are we are we really Crossing into the Northern Territory Hayward map says we just crossed over we're in Northern Territory that's what you get for traveling on a road like this yeah it's a good point isn't it though it's not making points let's work babe I went to high five yeah that was each better hold on yeah not into property without prior approval Vehicles people equipment should carry am I missing something here wrong bins dummy Lots now open sesame we're just going to open up the Gateway so we can get through the binge track we're literally on the binge track but a lot of these tracks go through private property that one said you need prior approval but when we left uh Mount deer hotel which is basically the information center for the start of the binge truck and the Simpson desert I mentioned that ah it's all good fly on I put a lot imagine no so boring [Music] foreign [Music] let's take it back to the start we're not getting through there right that's it turn around go back home seriously we're not getting through that's way too soft yeah we're gonna have to find a way around but there's water [Music] that way he's a long way and there's water that way is a long way so I'm gonna have to go see if I can find a way through because I'm not turning back I'm going north with a the water likes it or not [Music] oh God [Music] yeah I want to keep going we're gonna of course you do that we're probably gonna bloody well be here all night I've got a new plan instead of going through this ridiculously stuffed stuff we're going to go 30 meters that way and go on the hard stuff just there but then we're still going to do that Crossing which is going to be bloody old man [Music] [Music] record [Music] oh you're gonna have to go so far through this dead at least 100 kilometers an hour yeah I don't want to walk this because there's all little baby aliens in there can you see these things [Music] is it Rocky [Music] oh you know what can I um vote [Music] that we don't do this [Music] I don't know what the hell it is for Dad and wanting to try and get us bogged swear to God if the next time you guys see us is night time because we're still out here [Music] still considering it [Music] it's too soft Hallelujah there's got to be another way through but [Music] so this is soft but if I punch that oh this is boggy now that's too foggy [Music] ah this is annoying me what about there there's a thin section of grass there [Music] we've got it I'll try the other side of the road see if there's anything on the other side maybe I'll just try over there one more time yeah because I promised the boys some water anyway I know silly promises I make silly promises oh because the babies want to see him do a water crossing oh bindies they have no idea of the ramification this is the worst Best Day Ever yeah no idea of the ramifications of us getting stuck here all right then where do you want me [Music] and this is where this really hit the fan [Music] this is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've ever done so I was reversing back on a nice hard parched talking myself talking away to Kyla having a Merry Old Time and reversed it straight into a bog hop [Music] then things went from bad to worse [Music] [Music] got a second starting wheels so go go front wheel drive this time babe so um so good I think it's about like five o'clock or something in the arvo now it's fine I've got dinner on it's fine kids are inside aircon on watching a movie chilling the aircon's not helping aircon's helping the kids yeah so I don't know Dad reckons he can get us out look to be honest if a car comes past it's gonna be fine they can just pull us straight out at the front from the front um but I think Dad's Pride ego everything will be bruised he wants to get us out on his own accord ing so uh he reckons he's going to work all through the night if he has to and he's getting us out of here so we are actually praying that no one does come past to save us because Dad wants to do it all on his own accord um yeah like it's fine we've got water views really from our Caravan so that's also beautiful [Music] what more could you ask for but anyway look at this water bother back here a deep the bloody holes go when you're step in it she is so soft got a bunch of Max tracks remember ah hitch is almost under release that airbag and uh the diff is fully under also that's Dad's next job he's gonna just back tires seen better days too um yeah Dad's gonna also dig the diff out so sucks to be him but also he got us in so he can get us out but yeah there's no rule right danger harm or anything we're just gonna spend the night here it's not technically a campground but what more can you do I don't think really anyone's going to be coming past until about maybe 11 A.M tomorrow and um to be honest it doesn't really matter if they don't and also we could have found our called for help but um I don't need it apparently yes yeah we don't need it but I'm running out of ideas babe it's all right you'll figure it out if you don't figure it out then we'll call someone oh good all good in the hood [Music] foreign [Music] okay so update on where we're at I am apparently making dad a coffee I've set up the inside coffee machine because the outside one is like like this and it's above dad's head where he's digging so Dad is still outside digging um he is punishing himself he reckons for getting us in this mess so I'm making him a coffee to get through the night because he reckons he's going to be digging all night um I'll show you in a second where he's at um yeah he's a wrap just digging away alrighty coffee's made current situation with the kids sitting here watching some TV are you just doing a very good job just babysitting while we're busy doing this take you out and see Dad I'll be back in a second kids baby just woke up from having a really late snooze it's about seven o'clock here now P.M got a beautiful sunset actually out here which is a little bit bittersweet uh here's dad here's your coffee Dad it's got his head torched canopy light I gotta get back to that day because he wants his dinner but there you go Doug I appreciate it I don't deserve it but thank you see you getting there though huh just trying to free the deaf yeah I'll freed the front side I'm just gonna free it completely I'm not around in the middle of the night yep I'll just dig all night if I have to as punishment yep and are we planning to try and get it out tonight or uh old dig and dig and dig until I know it's coming out and then maybe I might just putter out like I'm not going to try and flogger out or anything I'm just going to put her out which is what I probably should have done from the start but a series of rookie errors led me here you can beat me up about it later babe oh look uh it's actually Mother's Day here so this is my Mother's Day gift from Dad happy Mother's Day thanks it's all right I don't even care I gotta get to the baby what do you need a handbrake okay handbrake's on it's looking good what the hole on me oh yeah sorry the hole looks good too but I was mainly talking about you babe yep I just checked the forecast we're meant to get rain tonight if this if it rains it's like only a mil but this whole thing is going to turn to slow J yeah they're not even going to be able to get vehicle in here to recover us in the morning all right I'm gonna run away we have to get out and we have to winch the Caravan back and then we have to get on the road to the next then we have to at least get on the road because if we're on the road like at least we're safe and out of this friggin swamp I don't know why you let me drive into this swamp I'm blaming you for this yeah it's my fault I gotta spray myself from these mozzies hey because they're like we got you sorted because you were going to be the one out here all night but I think I've got the call up to come out and help now oh god oh shiver should I put some proper shoes on oh yeah it's gonna help you babe or just no shoes ah shoes all right I gotta get my shoes on I might put some proper there's not much you can do you know I'm just trying to clear this diff on this side then I'm going to clear the diff on the other side and then I'm getting this out of here um I reckon I'm two hours I just got to beat this bloody rain what time's the rain forecast for one o'clock what time is it now it's like carry the one yeah that is so bloody like it's like the shovel just bounces off it I've already snapped my main shovel I'm down to my navigator shovel it's like it makes really no sense because it's so hard to get our shovels into dig us out but when our tires get in there they just seem to like keep on sinking show you around here we're still as bad around here I've got canopy open so he can see we're still in a spot of bother here yeah very very very deep he's doubled this away but so that's good because that was all at ground level there uh we have taken the pen out of the what do you call it oh hitch the tow hitch because that was sort of catching on the ground so we've taken the pin out of that it's still lodged in the ground but like when we go forward we're hoping it'll just pull straight off a little bit slightly odds that it rains tonight of all nights as we've had like had no brain for weeks and weeks and weeks since we left the air yeah that's right isn't it yeah we haven't had any rain since we've been in Outback show you here about the diff oh sorry if the hitch we've got it unpinned see here there's normally a pin in there that holds this this hitch part onto the truck and that's been getting caught too because we've just been sinking lower and lower sovan hitched that unpinned to that sorry and we should this should just slide straight out yeah thanks hey I can almost see you through there good oh do you know what this reminds me of um mud wrestling no Stuart diver when that Stuart diver guy um got buried in that Landslide oh he got out and he survived let the follow-up that they parties that he cut his own armor no that's someone else but so he survived his wife next to him died then he went on to remarry and his new wife died I don't know baby but we're not dying no good you're back you're acting very unstressed oh it's all right it's all right like I don't know what's the Worst That Could Happen our whole thing gets eaten up by the sludge and like We're Not Gonna Die are we no half a million dollars stuck in a mud people check it out we got this so I'm literally trying to create a ramp for the so there's no drag or nothing on these wheels that's stopping us because I've only got rear-wheel drive at the moment I don't know what's happened but anywho I'm getting there yeah and then I'm gonna have to limp this thing back to Alice or get it out see what's going on with it with this diff and then yeah I'm having so much we've got progress we've moved like about a meter in the last seven hours no okay so here's our pretty commitment we're getting closer have a look whoa shut the shovel in the door okay [Music] so we're out of there I just gotta I'm gonna have to dig all this out now and yeah but dad's gonna have to dig all this bit here now so we can create kind of a ramp for this back wheel but um just again it's been such a victory out yeah all that back wheel is um free now so it's just another thing which is not ideal we can see a storm rolling in through oh my God I can't see through over here I don't know if you can hear the thunder but there's Thunder we're seeing lightning we're counting how close it's getting to us if it gets too close we're going to duck for shelter in the Caravan but um at the moment it's still a bit away but close enough to be scary that we're going to get rained on and we're going to go back to square one but we're determined to get this out progress progress oh wow I reckon we're gonna get it in the next couple of hours providing that rain doesn't hit us hey Dad [Music] all right that's where we're at keep dated I like this it's stuck stuck [Music] yeah that's not ideal now is when we knew we really needed to start giving it a crack storm was closing in on us and things were beginning to get a little scary [Applause] whoa more stop [Applause] yeah not gradual hard stop go hard yep go hard back wait go don't roll five go back let's go webs off drop the handbrake and go hard yep go hard babe [Music] [Music] laughs [Music] you're right you're on it keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going take ours right over give it to it huh give it to it [Music] oh we are so much further what we're just as stuck oh keep going [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] but what we've done now foreign [Music] [Music] now go hard because you're going to get out go [Music] oh I'm exhausted we've got her out that was just about one of the hardest things I've ever done [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] we're up to like 2 30. digging chasing back trying to beat the rain look how slushy this is [Music] [Applause] [Music] it was a battle it's an absolute battle I'm gonna go figure out what's wrong with this truck and try and get us on the road I'm gonna winch this Caravan back far back as I can get it and try and hook it up truck driving try and get us to Alice pray for me all right uh two options I can either static line it out this Caravan back because obviously I can't hitch back up the way the way that it was due to the ginormous hole it's in the in the front of the Caravan so I'm going to slide it back as far as I can I've got the uh I've got the jockey well it's a jockey wheel it's not the chocolate it's like a jockey Jack right down on the lower setting so I'm hopefully not going to bend that and it's sliding on a couple of Max trucks I'll show you if that doesn't work I'll uh put the max tracks right under the front take the Chuck out probably going to snap that pin it's only held on by a small thread done worse anyway or I'll win trim out because I'm trying to nurse the truck a little bit of whatever's going on with that front deer for CV um the steering on it a bit iffy so I'm just going to try and get it over to the road which is literally just there I'll work on it there I just want to get there's more rain coming so I want to get out of this mud pit [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right foreign [Music] that was a very very very long night and very long morning as well actually um just doing the last couple of things very good news we're hitched up I'm almost positive we've destroyed our CVS in the front at least I know the front right it's gone but um I'm just going to nurse it to Alice it's an Isuzu and Alice that can uh sort us out but we're not out of the woods yet gonna be another long day I think it's all right at least the worst is done hopefully we're all out look at this water's over there still fairly close a little bit too close for comfort for me we're gonna back our way out of here straight back in here where we came from and to the road over here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] mama oh thank you Dad [Music] just cheers well that was Bloody eventful personally it's always reversing but are you distracted me yeah [Music] all right so I got us into a bit of a pickle I'm a silly silly boy you know I've already touched on it on Instagram I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that um that messaged us we put a post up about it we got quite a few messages from everyone a lot of them wanting to come get us out in the middle of the night things like that we really really really appreciate that thank you so much it means a lot we've met so many uh so many good human beings along the way that it's really restored for our
