Mainly recovery of vehicles stuck in sand dunes in an area called Khor Al Udeid (Inland Sea), in Qatar. (No money ever changes hands). A few travel videos, some videos of interesting places in Qatar. And a few videos of our rescue cats.
Before the point where the truck got high centered, you could have disconnected the snatch block from the rear of the truck and fed it under the truck all the way to a point on the very front of the frame. This would have allowed you to pull it up the rest of the way past the point of getting high centered without the need of a second winch/truck. The reason is because once the rear bumper was up in the air, you are pulling the truck down against the very sand that you’re trying to get past. By feeding the cable to the front of the truck, the cable gets lowered, it follows the terrain and angles down the slope to the front of the truck so it pulls the truck “UP” and back instead of “DOWN” and back. We tend to get stuck thinking that we have to pull from the nearest point of the vehicle, but in some instances, it makes sense to get connected to the other end, in this case, the front end.
Thank you for your concern. We use synthetic winch line. It's very light and does not stretch, therefore very little stored energy, doesn't behave like steel cable. We have snapped a few it doesn't whip.
So glad you could help and you had two helpers. Nice help from everyone. thanks for sharing. We live in the Desert in Arizona USA and people do need help off the road here.
Any seasoned off roader knows the first thing you have to do when driving on sand is to air down your tires so you ride across the top of the sand rather then sinking down into it.
That's Someone who shouldn't own a 4x4 truck! Some people think 4 wheel drive can go anywhere! I live where we get over 300" of snow each year most people up here know what a wheeled truck can and can't do! You want to play like that you need Tracks like on a snowmobile or a tank to ride the soft sand. Yes we have sand dunes up here also I'm near Lake Superior the largest fresh water lake in the world! Tourists get stuck all the time here . Locals make lots of money off them.
Theses guys are job security for the towing and wrecker services. Also why would drive your truck down an embankment. Well: Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you dont...
Anybody that would drive their truck or any vehicle down A hill of sand by water should have known or had common sense that they would not made it back up 🤔. Wow‼️ the ignorance🤪 of people today have no common sense🙄. In today's world, it doesn't surprise me.🙄🫵🫵‼️
Holy ravioli, that winch must be smokin hot !!! It's also weird to see Cruisers with no bull bar, driving lights, antennas, tail gates, side steps etc. !!! 😮
