Recovery Tips

<< < (3/4) > >>

LST:
I have a copy of a Recovery Tips annd Techniques mag which while fairly basic has some good info
I will post up some bits from it when at home on the desktop

I have seen two recoveries on 4WD shows recently where they were pulling using the strap hooked over a towball. Poor presentation from people who should be promoting safety

knoath:
I'm sure we'd all have heaps of recovery videos…. if we didn't drive DMaxs and MU-Xs!!!

Boutime:
Knoath, you're right it is difficult, even if you deliberately try to get them bogged. :icon_salut: But there are always the other (uninformed) bunch who we can :bootyshake:

DmaxDave:
Worth a listen, and some links for further reading

As promised albeit a bit late here are some pages from the mag. I have shown the cover page so you can go and buy your own. I think I will carry this in the glove box for future reference should the need arise.

I like the "idle snatch rule" article as I think there is a lot of merit in that technique

3rd showing the recovery points - see pic #5 - factory tie down bracket looks very similiar to ours and note comment about weld fractures. There is a pic of a broken one on another forum but circumstances of how it occurred are not stated. Interesting that I Venture club are not demonstrating snatch recovery using that bracket until some legal matter is sorted
