Josh D is a bloke that loves the bush, and HATES rubbish - so much so, that he has dedicated much of his own time, money, and resources to organising bush clean-ups with like-minded volunteers.

Following a relatively late entry into the 4x4 and camping lifestyle, Josh made up for lost time. He's built a twin-locked Ford Ranger with all the fruit, and headed to some of the most iconic 4WD Touring destinations in Australia including Cape York and the Victorian High Country.

Josh was so frustrated by constantly seeing rubbish in the bush on his wheeling and touring adventures, that he decided to get organised, and do something about it. The Bin Chicken was born.

Peter Woods is the Managing Director of Premier Events - the company behind the 4WD Adventure Shows - held in Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth each year.

Peter has been passionate about 4x4s and camping his whole life, and has had a hand in creating some of the earliest and most well-known 4WD adventure content through his friendship and work with the late Malcolm Douglas - a true legend of the Australian outdoor adventure community.

Peter is a very humble man who works quietly in the background of the 4WD community, but has played a huge part in the growth of 4x4s in Australia over the last 30 years.

Tony and Peter talk about his early years going on camping trips with his family, his work for Cargill Caravanette, his entry into the show scene through his Marketing work, and meeting Malcolm Douglas - before going on to become close friends and producing some of Malcolm's most famous content. More recently, Peter has worked extensively with Ronny Dahl to produce The 4WD Adventure Show in WA.

In this episode, Tony is joined by Mac Preston, with a special guest appearance by our good mate, Burto.

Mac Preston is one half of the hugely popular TJ AND MAC YouTube channel, the owner of Shed Life, and a familiar face in the Aussie 4WD community.

Mac shares how his automotive journey began, growing up with a Dad who was a V8 fanatic, creating a passion for cars that Mac has maintained throughout his life. From starting out with mini trucks and air-bagged Hondas before progressing into building custom 4WDs, he's gone on to create some of the most iconic 4WDs in Australia, including his epic 79 series Land Cruiser - DAD BUS, and more recently his wild custom Chev K Truck.

Tony and the boys chat about the challenges and benefits of life as a YouTube content creator, solving the puzzle of technical 4WDing and picking lines, the tracks and trips the boys still want to complete, and some of the new builds coming up on the TJ AND MAC channel.
