I am bringing lots of wood for tomorrow. So will have plenty of time to listen to your adventures of Day 1

Happy Birthday @FredericMany happy returns of the day .

Thanks all for the lovely birthday wishes and to @Gaurav for posting the lovely reminder that I am getting older 😅. Oh well another year in the sandbox and many more adventures with all my Carnity friends are totally worth it😘

All set and packed .. time to doze off and take some good rest before the long drive ahead… cya all tomo morning.

We will be arriving late, so not camping tonight but hotel. Equipped for camping tomorrow though. Looking forward to meeting you guys tomorrow morning!

I am getting some wood over. Guys can bring maybe an additional Bav please feel free to do so the more the wood the more merrier. Tomorrow we know that is going to be attract load of wood landing

@Pacific has the one in the tailgate, I dont think it's fast enough because he has the second one in the trunk. Let him chip in. But talking about the compressor, I am extremely satisfied by my recently obtained DM 4 cylinder compressor. It has 2 outlets and I mated it to 2 x 1 to 2 air hose, inflating all 4 tires at same time, to 35 psi for around 3-4 mins. couldnt be happier with its performance 💪

Wishing you a very happy birthday @Frederic

Happy Birthday Fred!

Radio channel will be informed by the time we drive

It’s in same area , either adjacent to start point couple feet near track or bit inside ( deflation needed ) within 200 to 300 meters ) I would prefer to be bit near the track

Hi Doc, Sri has shared the starting point camping option in the NB thread, just in case that’s the same location you plan to use - might be good to share here. Not sharing as not sure about the plans and don’t want to confuse the group.

Congrats Deepak, now you have to teach how to crest and uncrest the belly👽

@Gok Krish I remember your stories from last year trip... 😜 Sure you will have a good one this year as well. Enjoy

Congratulations @ASAD. Welcome to Carnity Offroad club support team. Well deserved and first step toward leadership .

Thanks @Gaurav for the promotion and to everyone else for the warm welcome. Glad to have joined a special group of people and contribute to the community where i can. Also perfect timing (read Weather) to up the shoveling game 😂.

Hi @Gary F, well done. Congratulations.

congratulations @Glenn Waters. enjoy your new level.

Thank you for joining the Support Team @Fabien Monleau!

Well managed @M.Seidam, taking the time to analyze the situation, and putting in place what is required to limit the stress on the vehicles, and the risks for everyone ! I was stuck in similar situation in my last drive, and managed to get out thanks to the capabilities of the car But I realize afterwards that it would have been difficult to recover. I will keep in mind your step by step approach for the next one !

Dear Friends @Carnity @Imteeaz @Arda Yagcioglu ( pict and clip curtesy to you thank you ) @Lawrence_Chehimi @Gok Krish keeping this thread Alive I put this from Sweihan drives V I got wedged as you see in the picture below after shoveling the sand wall from behind the rear tires and right front and made it to be prepared for what comes next . I asked @Imteeaz to go back and forth from where he is supposed to recover me to prepare a track for him self . After that 4 ropes connected ( 50 meters ) and I was redirected . Comments are welcome always so we can always learn develop and improve
