winching techniques
Ok guys.....
we've had our winch pissing match and ya...dunno who won that one!! haha anyhow, say you're stuck in the mud/sand/snow with no anchor points around and no other vehicles to winch off of and pull out. What do you guys do? Other than take all the parts off the truck...move each bit over to solid ground and built it back up again!? Do you guys use a sand-anchor? or a 'dead-mans' anchor?? |
Re: winching techniques
You can bury the spare tire for an anchor.
Then slap yourself every shovel full of dirt for running solo....

Re: winching techniques
Well, for one I wouldnt be out wheeling alone...its just not a real good idea.
Bury your spare tire deep and winch off of it perhaps. Start walking is another good idea. After all, you are prepared to do that when wheeling alone, right? =) On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 00:12:07 GMT, "SB" <chicbearsmook@hotmail.com> wrote: >>Ok guys..... >> >>we've had our winch pissing match and ya...dunno who won that one!! haha >> >>anyhow, say you're stuck in the mud/sand/snow with no anchor points around >>and no other vehicles to winch off of and pull out. >> >>What do you guys do?
