The Outer Side

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.
