The Canning Stock Route is over… but a big chunk of the story was missing: those 13 hours at the end. In this video I walk you through what actually happened after I got the 76 Series badly bogged, why it was hands-down the dumbest decision I made on the whole trip, and how fatigue, dehydration, and time pressure all stacked up at the worst possible moment. I explain why Chris went ahead for water, why there’s barely any footage from that section, and how that bog recovery alone chewed up hours. I also tackle the stuff people have been hammering me on: sand flags, night driving, permits, planning, and why some episodes are shorter than others. I don’t make this like a scripted TV show—I’m telling the story as it happened, and filming slows everything down to half speed. I break down how we misjudged the CSR compared to straighter desert tracks, why water planning got harder once we realised the wells weren’t great, and what actually matters out there: driving to conditions, managing fatigue properly, and respecting the track and permits so this place stays open for the long haul.
