Sounds like there was a story behind a previous drive here. ..

This is another drive I will definitely do again! I'll be keeping my eyes out for this one @DP1011 and @Mike M..

Great idea @Mike M.. Such an important cause and such an easy win for the environment and Team Carnity. The videos really do show what a small team of committed earth stewards can do.

Ha, I guess this comes with the promotion. My turn will come one day too and yours! 🤣

Awesome. Thanks @DP1011

Hi @DP1011 possible to join this drive? Simon had to cancel his drive in the morning.

Congratulations @Arvindraj on the promotion.

Thanks @ChrisW. One M please. It was good to have finally met you and a couple of others too. You all drove really well today and I was spared having to shovel this weekend. 😄 Last weekend in this same area we dug up about half a dune to get several stucks out in the same area. Enjoy your week and see you in the sand soon.

Thank you @DP1011 for a wonderfully challenging track. Good to see some familiar faces and those that came up from hibernation. The banter on the radio was enjoyable to listen to and participate in. It was hilarious that our friend and star of the drive was the one who got stuck not only once but twice. @Islam Soliman we wish you and your family all the best in happiness and health, and a smooth relocation. We'll be keeping an eye out for Egypt drive announcements.

Wow ... 680 drives alone between the Manage and Support team members on this drive!

Apologies, this was regarding deflation using Staun's. Inconsistent results and apparently the same might be true for some of the deflators Mike is using these days. He got a good batch. Still on the hunt for a consistently reliable deflation method that accurately stops deflation at the desire PSI.

Looks like you have a reliable set @Mike M.. Some of the reviews on Amazon indicate the same problem I had with my Staun's. Even though they are set exactly the same the results in 1 was always off then a 2nd one started going off to the point I had to inflate a couple of times on that one.

Thanks @DP1011 for adding me to this monumental drive with our friend @Islam Soliman. He had a profound impact on my early experience and skills building in NB and FB levels. @Islam Soliman, you will never be forgotten and often remembered fondly as a patient, calm and very communicative marshal guiding the next gen of more experienced drivers progressing through the Carnity experience levels. Looking forward to our drive together on Sunday.

Nice achievement @Shaun J. See you soon in the sands next time.

Well done @Marek! Looking forward to driving with you on IM drives and others of course.

Nice achievement @ALEX 0171. Enjoy!

Here are some stats from our drive on Saturday. We managed to cover 37 km which for a Newbie drive with 9 team members with 0-2 drives is indeed notable!

Most welcome @Carl Stanley. I was fortunate for someone showing me the same tip on my second drive.

Hi @Looper - I found this version of the same tool but with clip-on chuck, which is amazing for ease of use. I use it to check my pressure during the drive when needed. https://www.amazon.ae/KATGROCHIR-Inflator-Accurate-Compressor-Motorcycle/dp/B0CDPVNMBZ/ref=sr_1_20?crid=3PX8VKGV2R6JT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.yU41CJMh25JOGY5cDRZgZ3p7hbUdRI-9tcEzHZmVhuLqUEWKfARWT6DRy1xwRY-Gf2Nt0cMDOo_9W39bRPVf--aTax20Dng9GuT8zKZuY9E6zr15aIdIA_G71WPAU7P0NtcxkDfMs_HJDYEHOdmxM0UTbyiSQqR7odwjGHIpAAq92GcYmCB_vp4h-HhGgf8BfMfgOEW1KW0DwWBHy8tsQc2-RcE0ciimK2aNQd78-U3_5HXO7aEOruyfqaljVTg42iNn1jUl7sxploQEWwct9w_GthFg5GLwYbbMANO4Mro.1VE4xfaGE4M0qKgDJaPoCbc3bC6qRm_SamXqlZyTLeM&dib_tag=se&keywords=tire+inflator&qid=1728205110&sprefix=tire+%2Caps%2C316&sr=8-20

Good afternoon, It was really nice to have met all the new club members yesterday. Welcome to the Carnity off-roading club @Andreas Riis, @Jose Luis Campos, @Hetal, @Yurybel, @Sam_, @Arvindraj, @Abhishek Chikara, and @ALEX 0171. As already mentioned, you all drove really well in challenging terrain while learning about your vehicles and how they behave in different sand conditions. As @Davie Chase mentioned, my second support drive was nicely challenging to say the least. Thank you for giving me such great opportunities (and exercise) and rest assured, we have all be exactly where you ended up and will likely end up again sooner or later. Keep a positive attitude about your learning and staying safe, and you'll be just fine. One of my new learnings today was how to use a tire valve core removal tool to deflate my tires. I used to use Staun deflators but they are not accurate and I have had to use a tire pressure gauge to adjust down to the right pressure I wanted for that drive. Sometimes they let too much air out and I had to pull out the compressor to put some more air into the tire. This was one of my least favorite parts of our drives. Then I bought a four-way inflator hose system, which simplified my inflation process. The clip-on tire chuck makes it a dream to put onto the tire valves and the digital pressure gauge is handy and the system will balance the air between the tires when used correctly. Last year I started using the four-way hose for deflation. This was much better and pretty accurate to once you get used to it and after double checking the pressures with a tire pressure gauge you trust. The only hassle was having to pull out and connect up the four-way hose system twice for a drive. On this drive, I was determined to give the valve core removal process a try. I deflated 3 of my tires individually, which took time but I only was after trying the tool on 1 tire as an experiment. Making sure I didn't lose the valve core and with a spare handy, I removed the valve. In about a 30 count I put it back in. I was nearly at 12psi which is where I wanted to be. I kind of eyeballed the tire to estimate where I was at psi wise. Although apprehensive about this for a good while now, I'm sold. This process too is my go to method going forward. Wait... that isn't the end of this story!!! And what a coincidence. I was heading down to see how @Abhishek Chikara was making out with his deflation and he had just had one of his valve cores fly out from his rapid deflation tool and gauge. Guess who still had their tire valve core removal tool in their pocket... he wanted to learn how to use it so with a simple explanation he screwed it back in himself. Read this article for more detailed information and banter about tire deflation. https://carnity.com/forums/topic/13522-how-to-deflate-your-tyres/ Until next time, stay happy and healthy. Emanuel

Hey @Gary F, that is another Emmanuel with 2 m's. FYI

Congratulations on your 1 month anniversary in Fewbie Plus. 🤣

Congrat's on the promotion @Nizar Shawwa

Congrat's on the promotion @Aser

Congrat's @Brett Eicher on the promotion. See you on the sands next time.
