What You'll Learn

One skill a week, no fluff

Every lesson is short enough to read before your coffee's cold, and useful enough to change how your next trip goes.

4x4 & Recovery

Everything from tyre pressures and recovery gear to saving your car in the worst conditions.

Why hear it from me

Growing up in Hiluxes, 100 Series, 200 Series and now a 79 Series, I've taken a 4WD through snow, slick mud, rocks and sand. I've experienced it all. If I knew this stuff earlier, I would have saved a lot of money.

Fishing & Spearfishing

How to find fish, feeding habits, gear, and everything that turns a blank into a feed.

Why hear it from me

I caught my first fish at 18 months old. My parents used to have to hide the fishing rods when I was a grommet. With weekly fishing trips under my belt for the last 18 years, I can assure you that you'll learn something new on each release.

Boating & Jetski

Launching, handling, and maintenance basics so a day out doesn't end with a tow.

Why hear it from me

After blowing up multiple jetskis and running a boat with zero issues for the best part of a decade, I can share the tips that keep your toys running so they don't blow up the moment the weather clears out in summer.

Bush Skills & Camping

Camp setup and the calls that keep a trip safe when it's just you out there.

Why hear it from me

I've been camping since I was 6 weeks old: ticks, snakes, emu attacks, rain, hail, snow or shine, there aren't many Australian conditions I haven't faced. People call camping uncomfortable. They just aren't prepared. Let me help you out.

Hunting

Chasing game across Australia's landscapes with guns and bows: the gear, the tracking, the discipline it takes.

Why hear it from me

Tied to the 4x4 since I was 2, chasing game across Australia's landscapes with both guns and bows. Each discipline demands something different of you. I know I'd have taken a lot more back in the day knowing what I know now.

Enjoy Australia to the Max

Everything else you need to enjoy Australia to the max: surfing, cliff jumps, waterfalls, bushwalks and the safety calls that keep it all fun.

Why hear it from me

This is everything else that doesn't fit in a single box: the surf, the cliffs, the waterfalls, the walks in between. Same rule everywhere I go: know the conditions, respect them, and you'll get a lot more out of it.

About Us

We live and breathe the outdoors

dadoog started as one 79 Series Land Cruiser, a boat, and a jetski going wherever the fishing, surf, and tracks looked good. Every lesson we send comes from something we actually got wrong, or got right, out there.

Built from real trips, not theory

No fluff, no filler content. Just the kind of thing you'd want a mate to tell you before you head out: the stuff that actually matters when you're the one behind the wheel, the rod, or the throttle.
