DVD Review

Hello Prue,

No, really the purpose is to see if you liked it or not..

Really I just wanted to know if it was too tame for real Bushies or not, I wanted to hit a middle ground where it was entertaining to the Veterans, without scaring the Newbies. Some other Videos of a van that copies our style (poorly in my opinion), their videos are commented on as being a "Yabo bash about" that our Clients have said did not do them any real credit. I don't want the Newbies that might be spending $150,000 on tow vehicle and van, to think that jumping vehicles at high speed and crash and bash sliding around abusing the equipment was necessary... Because it is not !!

Without being to rough and scary for the city Newbies, I wanted to show the kind of Lifestyle that was sustainable long term without abusing the equipment.... What I really tried to do, was select some very interesting country I knew about on Stations and Crown Land and National Park areas, that would be an interesting backdrop for a middle of the road sort of sustainable view of what travel in the Bushtracker Lifestyle was really like...

Many Newbies have trepidations, about what the whole travel mode and Lifestyle is really like, and that is whom I have targeted the DVD for...

Please send in your address, and I will mail you out the latest format in square TV style, that has all the buttons of the menu right at hand, OK?

Thank you for your comments...

Hi all,

Ok here we go, watched the entire DVD last night with a couple of reds and after reading Steve's comments above as to the purpose in making the dvd I believe he has achieved just the right mix. I must comment firstly though that some shots were a little long but not enough to annoy the viewer. I liked the mix of showing that going off road does not mean going without the small luxuries. The vans looked great from the outside and no one looked as if they had had a rough night (sleeping wise) or as if they had not been able to shower. Newbies may or may not be used to going 4x4 driving but it was great to see that the drivers did not need to be gung ho about being off road, slow and steady is the right way.
Loved the camp cooking with trusty old tripod and the kettle for a cuppa, great to also see people who do not need to make their fire the size of a small mountain in order to cook a meal and stay warm, coals are best for cooking especially using the cast iron pot. We never travel without the above mentioned items.
Also enjoyed the factory tour section but did come across one major difficulty in watching this dvd: I now want a new BT and I want retirement now!!
Husband not pleased at all.
By my assessment that means the dvd is a success.
