Okaaaay. Snorkels aren't much use if your vehicle is upside down.

I'm not sure if I understand the pasttime of high-risk water crossings, but interesting video nevertheless. Thanks for sharing it!

Those guys are crazy but they would have had alot less trouble if they would take of the doors. This is less surface for the water to pusha gainst and that may have been enough to prevent the capsizes.Of course taller rigs would have worked wonders too!

In some of the Land Rover off road "manuals" they suggest rolling down the windows so that the current flows through your vehicle and not against it. Better make sure everything is secure inside or it will be down stream. Maybe thats why you don't see cup holders in Land Rovers.

Another Schmorkle Farkle video

Pretty impressive as even the snorkle head goes under water at one point. However, I wouldn't drive my truck through water that deep and fast for anything.

There's a real fine line between cool and stupid -

I love that video, it was the first promo video for safari snorkle I watched.

I'll pass on driving in with my truck, but hey might be fun to watch

**BCJC** · 10-20-2006, 10:45 PM

super cool to watch, and not to be a downer, but i wonder how many pollutants get introduced into our water systems by crossings like these? i'm certainly not an expert, but it strikes me as not great "tread lightly" practices either...not judgeing, just discussing.

well there is always going to be road grim but I feel reponsable wheelers won't go out with there rigs leaking fluids. I know I won't If I have a leak all trips ar eoff till I get it fixed. I'm probably in the minority though.
