That was very powerful. My biggest PTSD was a front tire coming off and rolling down a street in the middle of a 1700 mile road trip.
Offff that would not be fun. Especially in high speed situations
i've been in many rollovers from teen/adult its never easy but i push forward..i was a lil evil kenevil.
Been in an offroad rollover. Happens so fast one has no time to get scared. It was an old Ford and suffered little damage. So heavy it took two trucks to pull it back over, Put the battery back in place and some electrical tape for the electrical and we managed to limp back home in the middle of the night. Makes one be more carefull.

Haha love it
Very emotional short film, thanks for showing the story. Appreciate the technically difficulty of producing something like this to such a high standard (shots, editing, voiceovers, coherent story etc), excellent job 👌
Roll overs are never easy. Mine was 26 years ago and I’m lucky to be alive hitting a light post, taking out a fence and rolling down a hill to land upside down.
Thank you for showing the emotional side of such an ordeal, particularly for a man. It’s one of the few areas where the expectations of society are more restrictive on men than women, but that doesn’t make the feelings, trauma, or PTSD go away. I’m glad you were there with him as someone who completely understands what this is like from your own unfortunate experience.
Thank you! And I totally agree. Society expects men to only be tough. But they too have feelings. They too have the soft side.
Is never too late, but Men's mental health Month was in June and with this video you can tell and show a lot about how we can help each other, How men we never talk about this and not even with closer friends/family.
Consider yourself very important person for him, because is not an easy task you took in your own hands and you developed nicely.
Thanks again for sharing your adventures and how traveling can make you grow up in so many levels we can't think about. Keep the good work
Big step today going back there. Another stage in the healing process. Thank you for taking us along with you to accomplish this.
I feel your pain
I was hit in a T bone accident 2 years ago on my way to work. Something I do everyday. The lady hit me at 60 mph + is what the police report says. I rolled 4 times landed upside down. 2 broken ribs a punched lung and a broken hip and had to have my inside put back together.
It's been 2 years and I still don't have big enough balls to go through that intersection
It was a learning experience the 2 off you have a perpus in God eyes.
Love seeing you getting back out there. We live 1 day at a time.
Each step in faith, is a step closer, to who you are meant to become.
Life is about challenges that are what makes us grow in character to fully functional .
Been waiting all day for this. It’s now after 1am Monday. We are probably lucky our landscape is flatter but I’ve gotta say, some of the long tracks like the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel make your offraod tracks look like a highway. In saying that, the risk of going off an edge is greater over there as we don’t have mountain logging roads ect. My state, Western Australia, as you know, is flatter than Keira Knightly’s chest. All our danger is stuff like floods, bushfires, and mainly boggy sand with some really rough road. We still have to be alert and look for the same hazards. Big rocks can cause damage at aly time. We may roll but the changes of dropping off a cliff is small. Al least you don’t have crazy Kangaroos jumping in front of you at sunset. A thing that would have noticed here by the amount of dead roos on the roads.
I’m not sure if I would be keen on travelling along on those mountain roads so bravery medals to the both of you. This was a great video.
Cheers Rob. Aka Perth Urban Bum.
Life was full of "what if's". At my age, I'm very grateful to see the morning.
I have never rolled a vehicle but I did turtle a sailboat. It was surreal being upside down under the water.
So good to see you back. Been missing you! We so don’t have many hills like that in OZ. So inspiring to see you both facing demons and conquering.❤️
Overland Lady with blonde hair and cat eyes..... OMG, stunning! Beautiful!
What a powerful story and one not easily shared by either of you.
Wow 2 years since that day. I know how you feel sort of. I crashed my motor bike and 3 weeks later I bought the exact same bike only newer, it was even the same colour. Once I got my new bike I had to make my 1st proper ride to where I crashed. This time I had one of my friends who was with me that day and my wife come with me. Now over 3 years later I'm over it but I'm much more cautious and nervous on corners. I'd highly recommend going back sooner rather than later. Make sure you learn from the experience
What a beautiful, touching and emotional road/ camping trip. Your editing and comments Monique were perfect. It's so wonderful to see you processing, and, turning a horrible experience into compassionate gratitude by helping another. So powerful. I can imagine the shared healing and connection you would have both felt. So well done.
26 years ago, I lost my FJ40. To this day I still dream about it, have flashbacks and nightmares. A piece of music playing at the time will evoke tears from nowhere. I loved you description of 'a partner' that's never let you down. So incredibly true.
Watching for close to 4 years now, You've grown, own it, and become an even better person through it, as horrible as it was for you. Thank you for continuing to share. Fantastic. Hugs from Oz
Didn’t you have a rollover last year?
It was near the end of 2021. So im on year 2 since.
I've been upside down three times myself. The second one I rolled 5 times, burst into flames, and it almost killed me. 🔥🔥🔥 Something you will never forget.
Awesome beautiful emotional film. thanks for making it and sharing the story.
Rolling my rig is the fear that lingers in my mind and pops up every now and then. Thank you for sharing.
Thats one reason not to lift your truck!
I wasn't aware, I am sorry you went through that, I am grateful you are still here. Please keep on making videos, please be safe on those roads. Thank you for being your beautiful self.

The future is bright and sunny! Toyota showcased Prototypes of The New LC and Lexus GX at Overland Expo AZ this past weekend. The GX was impressive while the LandCruiser styling choices may be polarizing.
The GX is your cup of tea! So cool to see the future
If we're doing roll-over stories, I have a couple....
1st one.
Driving along a gravel road, around 10mph, 3rd in a group of 4 vehicles.
Not paying a huge amount of attention cos, y'know, 2 vehicles in front and I'm just following their tyre tracks.
Get to a fairly sharp right-hand corner, vehicle 1 goes around it with no drama, vehicle 2 does the same, I start to turn the wheel and I immediately feel my Land Rover sliding instead of turning.
2 wheels off the road, leaning over at a nasty angle, clawing my way around the rest of the corner.
I know braking is going to make it worse so I'm concentrating on steering to find some grip and I think I'm gonna be okay.....
...and then the vehicle behind me tags my rear corner - very lightly - but it's just enough to shove me a tiny bit further off line and then there's stuff flying around inside the cab as I end up on my side and then on my roof.
Lessons learned:-
You do you. Never assume that you're going to be okay just because other vehicles have successfully navigated something in front of you.
That corner could have been a complete non-event if I'd been picking my own speed and line instead of just trundling along, following the vehicle in front of me.
Don't be the guy behind me. Make sure you leave enough space that a lead vehicle can have a drama all by themselves without your help.
2nd one.
I'll start by saying I've driven a few RWD sportscars and I've had a couple of broken propshafts so I KNOW how scary it is to have a broken propshaft flailing around underneath a vehicle.
Ironically enough, I'd already noticed my front propshaft was badly worn and removed it so I'd been driving my Defender, with the diff' locked, as a RWD vehicle for a couple of weeks.
Friend suggested we go wheeling and offered me a front propshaft so I could go.
I could see the propshaft was a bit worn (slightly loose UJs) but it looked okay and I didn't want to reject an offer of parts.
So, trundling along a rocky trail, downhill with a slight curve to the left.
I hear a loud bang, feel the loss of drive and realise that something has broken.
I press the clutch pedal, start braking, and the vehicle begins to slow to a stop...
... and then I suddenly feel myself lifting up into the air and "falling over" sideways, landing on my side.
(Turned out the entire front UJ had fallen apart)
Lessons learned:-
Do maintenance. If I'd looked after my vehicle and replaced my propshaft I wouldn't have needed to rely on dodgy gifted parts.
If something looks bad, it probably is. I knew dodgy the propshaft wasn't perfect but I used it anyway.
Don't be afraid to say no. I didn't want to offend my friend so I used the dodgy propshaft AND I didn't want to reject the offer of a weekend off-roading so I rushed to fit the dodgy propshaft.
Main thing I'm thinking is that my vehicle was always repairable.
After something goes wrong I looked at the damage and resolved to repair it.
I always felt like I "owed it to the vehicle" to make everything right again.
I can totally understand how somebody might feel like they'd "failed" in some way if they couldn't put everything right afterwards.
Awesome footage, camera work and editing, but the DRAMA, OMG... Overrated/over-exploited !
The situations I have been in and survived and the crazy things I still do in my life are one at the time and always behind me.
We learn from our mishaps, of course, but do not need to overload ourselves with our traumatic past in this way... If we do, we are doing a big disservice to ourselves, our families and friends.
"I know". I rolled my 3rd gen runner a couple years 😢
I've got an 80 series now but definitely still working out some mental issues when I'm in any sort of off camber trail
Hello
sorry if you addressed this I skimmed the video but did not hear how this occurred. Thanks, glad you made it out! In AZ I have seen vehicles left on the sides of cliffs rolled. Kinda scary and crazy. Safe travels!
With a Title like that and a Splash photo of another destructo I thought "oh no, not again"
Whew...
Hi how are you thanx GOD u all are safe can you plz make ur helper
Face your facts and your horror, that is what makes it shrink .
Love the story and camera/drone shots! What drone are you using?
Good to see your making connections again

Wow! A decapitated LC. 😲
PS - the new brunette "Jennifer Anniston" hair style is so cute and slenders your face

Hi I watch lot off van life videos. I love your videos a lot.first your very beautiful lady and I love how you show your journey in off road vehicles.
Done that section of the Wabdr, thought it happened further done at the beehive section.

那个是甲骨文吗？啥意识？？
游。旅游。travel。
You'll save a ton of gas if you don't air down on solid dirt or gravel, only air down on soft terrain. I run 45 psi in 10 ply tires on my 4runner in the summer, 30 psi in the snow, and I haven't had any reason to go lower than that in ages because I run wide enough tires that I have more than enough contact already.
try racing motocross crashing is part of the sport
