A bit of a flash back. 1990 to 1991 I backpacked around the world. Setting off in Zurich Switzerland heading to the capital of the USSR, Moscow, taking the transsibirian railway to Shanghai, through China to the, at the time, portouguese conlony of Macau and by speedboat to the vibrant british colony of Hong Kong. Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand were on my way before exploring the South Sea islands of Fidji. </div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">This is where I took an Air New Zealand 747, which brought me to Hawaii and with that to the very first time in my life when I put my feet on US ground. Hawaii in the early 90ies has been absolutely fascinating. Active volcanos, lava flows and tropical vegetation meeting on the steadily growing archipelago of Hawaii. One day I am going back, if nothing else just to see what it looks like now. </span><br />

1990 was the first time I have quit my job back home in Switzerland to trade a scheduled working life against travelling and living on the road. In fall of that year I took a flight from Zurich/Switzerland to Moskow/USSR. From there by the transsibirian railway to China. A different China I suppose. Down to Macau, at the time a portouguese colony and by speed boat to Hong Kong, still being british those years. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Backpacking South through Souths East Asia, I have taken a flight from Singapore to Darwin in the Northern Territories of Australia. It was there, where I first became an overlander travelling by cars overseas in a foreign continent. In Darwin I stretched my backpacking budget to its max and bought an old, and I tell you, a really old, Holden Kingswood. A straight 6 cylinder gasoline engine with just one carburator and a 3 gear manual gear box gauranteed for high fuel and oil consumption combined with low performance. Many times I have been dreaming of the huge 4 WD Toyotas that where omnipresent in Australia at the time as soon as it got a bit rural or outbacky. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hard to believe but the good old Holden held strong and was a good companion for some 20'000 miles or so within a bit more than 3 months on the red continent. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A bit of a flash back here as I am scanning my old slides right now. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when the first scanned slides poped-up on my laptop's screen.</div>

Have you ever wondered what kind of tools you should pack into your tool bag when getting ready to set off to your overlanding trip. As you know I am still blogging dispite being home in Switzerland and there is a series on this blog called <a href="http://thebluetruck-e.blogspot.ch/p/gbu-good-bad-ugly.html" target="_blank">THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY</a>, the <a href="http://thebluetruck-e.blogspot.ch/p/gbu-good-bad-ugly.html" target="_blank">GBU</a>s of the blue truck. I am telling you what of my construction has worked well, what didn't and what I wouldn't do the same way next time. </div>

I have mentioned it before, I guess. There are hundereds of blogs that list all their fancy shiny stuff they packed up-on leaving for the trip of a life-time but few things you can read about what you really need. What of all those things were usefull, worth spending the money on and more so worth taking the extra weight to take them along. Or what is cheap rubish and broke and what is capable to withstand heavy duty use in dirt, mud and sand or under extensive UV rays on your roof rack. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That is where the Good the Bad and the Ugly of the blue truck was born. I have been travelling for over four years from New York up to Alaska, down to Tierra del Fuego and up again into Brazil. Not always but most of the time on my own, which puts another dimension into the subject of recovery gear. Simply because you are very much what the word really means, <i>alone</i>. Meaning, no one to push, no one to pull. Just you, yourself and your gear. Get out of the car into the mud, get prepared for everything, put weight on your come-along steel rope, get into the car and try to free it up, and all over again, that kind of thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is most of the stuff I took in terms of recovery gear, (common things a shovel and emergency repair stuff like duct-tape and so on are not listed): </div>

<li style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.habegger-hit.ch/" target="_blank">Habegger </a>come-along itself</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">A pulley for the Habegger</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Several towing-belts</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Two endless tree sling-belts (the green ones) </li>

<li style="text-align: left;">Several shakels</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also took four sand-boards, two 1.20 meter long ones (on the roof) and two 1.40 meter long ones attached in a mount on the side of the Toyota. I started off with two and was given an other two by fellow travellers <a href="http://www.friieda.ch/" target="_blank">Kari and Ulla</a> when we've met in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. There are several different type of boards that you can find on the market or build yourself. Important is that they are strong enough for the weight of your vehicle and light enough to handle and carry around. Remember you will need to be able to handle them when they have lots of mud and dirt sticking on them, that can quickly double the weight. Longer boards are much better to get out but much more difficult to handle and store. The also tend to bend quicker. </div>

I bought the Hi-Lift in the USA, since the units are perversely expensive in Europe. While in Texas camping on a state park I built a mount for it on the standard Toyota front bumper. Not as nice as I wished it to be but for a road job ok and functional. The Hi-Lift weighs over 20 some kilos, I wanted to have it as low as possible not to further encrease the center of gravity to a higher point and as much in front as possible to get weight distributed better but at the same time still high enough not to get damaged when hitting small trees and alike.</div>

Habegger come-along with pulley and tree belt set up. A big advantage of the come-along is that you can use and attach it about every where, front, rear, side and so on. Still you do need some place to attach it too. In sand you might burry your spare wheel deep into the sand and use it as an anker. I have not had to do that yet but heard from others that it'll work. And here... </div>

I was lucky. On this trip to a hidden Maya ruin in Mexico's jungle I was not alone. I teamed up again with Felix and Toni and we hired a Mayan guide who was leading us to some beautiful ruins hidden in the green.</div>

Cleaning the gear next day, after a long day in the jungle. Think about some spot, a large bag or something where you can through all the dirty stuff in at the end of the recovery process, otherwise you'll have it all in your "living room". Recovery adventures can make you very tired and last into the night, so at the end you'll probably won't have the energy to clean and store everything properly prior to finding a camp for the nighht. </div>

Small trees like that you can pull off manually with your hands. Or just drive over them. Larger ones I have pulled off the streets just with the Toyota and a twoing belt. In Central America though I had to take out axt and saw a couple of times to get through. </div>

What broke:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>I broke one 5 ton towing belt. Not really by weight, I have attached it around the bumper to pull out a Land Cruiser from mud in Colombia, we had to put as much force on it, realease and pull again until the heat melted some of the woven net and it was not longer safe to use after that.</li>
</ul>
<div>
What would I leave at home: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The Hi-Lift is a geat tool and being a technic freak I love it. Is it really necessary and worth the extra weight? Probably not. I do not think I really depended on it. As a jack it is a dagerous thing. I have two standard bottle jacks that I took a long, the original Toyota standard mechanical jack and a hydraulic jack like you can buy anywhere. So I think that is something I couuld have done without. </li>
</ul>
<div>
What I would not leave without:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The Habegger come-along. I have used it few times. But I found it much more versatile than a winch at the front bumper. It is exttremly high quality, heavy duty built. If you are solo travelling and are planning not to stick to the main roads, this might make the difference to get you out. </li>
<li>Several shakels and several towing belts, tree slings and so on. This will allow you to come up with some kind of a solution to most of your challenges</li>
<li>Saw, machete, axed and crow bar are not just useful for recovery they are also essential tools when free camping.</li>
</ul>

When you are overlanding with your vehicle you might think about shipping it. Your thoughts are going to be container or RoRo, 20 feet or 40 feet container with some overlanding buddy to economise. When your ship is rolling into the port of Emden in Germany, you learn what Volkswagen is thinking when thinking <i>Shipping Vehicles</i>. </div>

...that is going back all the way before I even set off to explore the Americas. This is not a Swiss Chalet, or actually it is a Swiss Chalet. But it is a Swiss Chalet in Colombia. The picture was taken exactly two years ago, on January 21, 2013 in Colombia. This is Hotel Sindamanoy at Laguna de la Cocha in Colombia. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We were nearly the only off-season guests and to give them some little business we decided to take a room vs. camping in the parking lot. It was cold, rainy and windy, so the hotel night was a welcome change to the nights out camping. The staff was super friendly as usual in Colombia and super sweet on top of it. It was a cold rainy night, cold even in the cosy chalet room. At around 9pm the girl from the front desk was knocking at our room door and, without saying a word, just with a big smile, handed us two super hot hot-water-bottles. </div>

You know, ever since I started off to this trip in New Jersey in October 2010, I have taken my digicam when ever the odometer of the car recorded an other 1'000 kilometer driven. And took a shot out of the windshield.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It has been an interesting experiment, since I totally did not care what it really looked like exactly that moment out and in front of the Land Cruiser, all I did was just point and shoot while heading down the road, the track or where ever the wheels of the blue truck carried me to. So there are a couple of interesting shots. Some of them, like the one above you might not want to zoom in too close. Leaving the windscreen whipper alone that just came up the very same moment... </div>

Do you remember those days, the days before the internet. The days before smartphones, even the days before cell phones. Just yesterday I have been skyping (by the way: a word that did mean nothing to me a couple of years ago) with my brother back home in Switzerland and we discussed the matter. I remember the days I travelled very early 90ties, my first trip to the US, I used to call home once a month, to do so I found myself collecting quarters and nickels for the rest of the month to end up at a public phone with a bag full of coins just to call home to Switzerland for a couple of minutes to say:"Hi I am all well. How are you, all good with you and Dad?"- "O.k., great! Thanks, call you next month. Ciao!" and while speaking with the headset between shoulder and head I've been grabbing one coin after the other out of the little plastic bag to drop it in the slot of the public phone. Times have changed since. I tell you! They have changed a lot, keep reading on. Nowadays...</div>

Happy trails, travelling companions! - Nothing stays as it was. - And even if you have moved up and are travelling with all those fancy bells and whistles of modern communications and those green little dancing and singing guys to assist you in all and every matter, once in while, I tell you, it will do you good to remember those days when you were standing in a phone booth with a bag full of quarters nickels and dimes!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Are you following the blue truck blog regularly? If so, you know that the Toyota is soon going to ship back home to Europe. Doing so aboard an Italian vessel requires to get some adjustments to the Italians and there way of living - and eating. After 4 years on the Americas I wanna make sure we're prepared. So, after <a href="http://www.thebluetruck-e.blogspot.com/2014/10/planning-is-everything.html" target="_blank">having gotten used to the accent</a> when Italians speak English, which is the official language aboard, we have trained some more on <a href="http://www.thebluetruck-e.blogspot.com/2014/10/lesson-2-in-getting-adjusted-to-italians.html" target="_blank">the subject</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now it is time to learn some about what Italians are most famous for: Food! Needless to say, we have high expectations prior to heading to Montevideo boarding the Grimaldi ship. Here you go: "Rosmarino..." - "...I have one mother..." - "...very strange mother..."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned the blue truck and its team keep getting adjusted to the big trip over the Atlantic. </div>

Working on a dream here? - Now Thomas has gone totally nuts, you might think, and you do almost rightfully think so. Almost!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But hang on: A) Some of the world's greatest ideas might have been thought of on that quiet place. And B) in the example above you will not even have to be thinking about that invention all by yourself, this establishment is fully capable to cater to outstanding team work and creating some of the best ideas, while being efficient and using usually usless moments very - yes - useful. So that might be where you think of your dream, preparing your truck to go on the Panamericana.</div>
