Hi guys,
From the outset, let me assure everyone that I think this website is great, I love the read! However, the more I DO read the various posts, the more I wonder at the costs you enthusiasts incur to enjoy what you do! I am just a travelling camper, certainly not a died-in-the-wool off-roader, and I travel the country for two reasons..one, it suppliments my profession ( artist/illustrator), and two, to enjoy relaxing out there in the environment. I don't think I could afford becoming an off-roader,it seems that you guys put yourselves in situations that always require special equipment, be it special recovery gear, or sophisticated communications gear, and the like, not to mention all the mods you seem to add to your vehicles! Don't get me wrong, folks, I am not knocking it, just that I often wonder the costs to enjoy what you do!
With the priralling cost of fuel, vehicles, equipment and so on, it certainly is an expensive pastime,,,but what the hell, good on ya! Someone once said it is made round to go 'round! Just wish I had more of it!!
Think I'll stick to the bitumen, and just enjoy reading about all those other exciting places that apparently, can only be reached by those who can afford to get there!
Like I said at the onset,I love reading the posts here, just wonder if I will ever be able to afford to do what you guys do! Happy motoring, troops!
