Fantastic topic, and a good opportunity for some self-reflection. As much as i love a brisk pace to carve our way through pristine dunes, i am only really at ease when i can navigate and have the time to observe the terrain and "get lost in time". There is something about the undulating terrain, the way the sand crumbles and shifts, and how the car engine noise and throttle provides the perfect soundtrack. Just like @Aser, time is my main enemy, otherwise i would prefer long overlanding treks in UAE and abroad. Two years ago we spent 12 days on the road in Oman, and i still look back at it as being one of our best vacations ever.

Congrats @Myrko Goed gedaan!

Congrats @Jose Luis Campos!

Fantastic concept @M.Seidam ! no better way to spend a nice evening with some Carnity friends !

I’d like to open a thoughtful discussion among us off-road enthusiasts about a topic that, while often overlooked or even considered somewhat taboo in our community, deserves our attention: the environmental impact of our shared passion. As we all know, our regular dune drives, overlanding adventures, and off-road excursions contribute to our individual carbon footprints—often in ways we don’t fully consider. From the fuel we burn to the overseas shipping of custom parts, vehicle maintenance, and other resource demands, our hobby has tangible environmental consequences. Lately, I’ve found myself reflecting on a few important questions: Are we truly doing everything we can to ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy this planet as we have? Can we look ourselves in the mirror and honestly say we've made a sincere effort to reduce our impact? Will there come a time when we transition from petrol-powered 4x4s to more sustainable ways of exploring the desert—such as electric off-roaders, bikes, or even hiking? Is the change I make simply a drop in the ocean—or could it inspire others to act as well? To give a concrete example, a V6 petrol 4x4 driving approximately 10,000 km per year emits around 300g of CO2 per kilometer. That’s roughly 3 tons of CO2 annually, accounting for approximately 15% of an average individual's yearly carbon footprint. And let’s be honest—this is a hobby, not a critical necessity. There are tools and methods available to offset this impact, such as investing in reforestation or supporting verified carbon offset projects. It’s something worth exploring and discussing within our community. You can learn more at carbonfootprint.com. Beyond offsetting, we could also consider alternative activities that still foster our sense of community: hiking and camping trips, stargazing gatherings, and social meetups that don't require long drives or burning excessive fuel. Interestingly, areas like Al Qudra—once a favorite nearby off-roading spot—are now harder to access due to increasing vegetation. As a result, we often find ourselves driving an extra 50–60 km just to reach open dunes. Maybe this, too, is a subtle message from nature. I hope we can have an open, mature conversation about this. I’ve never considered myself an environmental activist, but as I grow older, these concerns are becoming harder to ignore. Let’s talk, share ideas, and see how we can evolve our passion in a way that respects the world we explore.

Thank you all for joining guys ! Everyone made it perfectly on time, and after a short briefing we headed out into this lesser-known area, even though we came across some cross tracks here and there. I believe the terrain offers various challenges, from the vegetation in some areas, technical narrow dunes, and also some beautiful dramatic bigger dunes. All in all perfect for a morning out with a fantastic team. Despite the big convoy, we only had a handful of refusals and no stucks, which shows the strength and capabilities of all of you. Well done!! With a superb support team, in @Emanuel@Imteeaz and with @Davie Smooth_Operator in the back pushing us forward, i could focus looking ahead trying to find the next clean area Congrats to @Imteeaz for completing his 100th drive with us. Next to his brilliant support qualities, you are a super skilled off-roader and genuine bliss to have you amongst us. See you all soon back into the sands !

RSVP IS NOW CLOSED @Mike M.@Krinesh@Paul Eldho@[email protected].@Abdullah A.@Shary@Tanveer Ahmed@Imteeaz@Sam Selim@Abhishek Chikara@J-P L@topgear@Davie Smooth_Operator We have a nice sizeable convoy for tomorrow with fantastic support. I am really looking forward to it! We will be using Channel 4: 446.081Mhz Please try to arrive by 6:45 so you have time to deflate and set up your flag. At the meeting point there is a big gravel parking. Don't forget to bring your gears as per your drive level. See you all tomorrow!

I keep hearing the same, apparently when trying to use the gas station inflator (like the pic below) there is no tight seal, and one should use a tissue paper over the valve to seal it tight. Another option is to use a tire valve extension piece:

Well done @Sam Selim!
