Escape with Confidence

Meet Nicole, the newest member of the MDC sales team — and a traveller who spent over a year exploring Australia, towing, camping, working remotely, and living full-time on the road with her husband, Gus.

Her hands-on experience gives her a unique understanding of what travellers truly need in a camper. In this podcast, we dive into how Nicole and Gus’ real-life adventures help Nicole guide customers on their own journey, whether it’s a weekend escape or a lap of Australia.

In this episode of Off Grid Down Under, Sam sits down with Vaughan, Banksy, and Anya to break down everything you need to know about 4x4 recovery gear and techniques. From building your own recovery kit to understanding the difference between snatching and winching, the panel shares real experiences from the tracks, including lessons learned in Cape York.

We explore essential gear, when to take spares, the rise of soft shackles, and the techniques every off-roader should know — like double line pulls, multi-anchor setups, and safe redirections. Vaughan and Banksy bring their expert insight, while Anya steps in as the listener’s voice, asking the questions newer 4WDers might be thinking but are too afraid to ask.

Whether you’re new to 4x4 touring or a seasoned driver, this episode delivers practical advice, safety tips, and gear recommendations to help you stay confident and capable out on the tracks.
