To all of the critics, please link your vehicle recovery video that is state-of-the-art, impeccable, flawless, and foolproof. I believe Andrew and John have done a wonderful job here. Personally had the opportunity to recover a truck stuck in the mud, with a high-lift jack. Yes it was potentially dangerous, and all involved were aware and kept themselves out of harm's way. Thank you Andrew and John for taking the time to do this!!!

@gonzalo4to 5 лет назад

I was blown away with the first part: Techniques with thr shovel. I think people rely too much on winches and high-lifts and forget about the shovel, and I've found that the shovel is faster and safer than winching in many occasions. Cheers.

By far the best production and most informative series I've seen. Years of valuable experience packed into a short video.

I've never used a winch myself, only saw others using it. But the way you guys did it, took winching safety measures to the next level! :)

@luisclaro3386 3 года назад

Super good video! One idea por towing a trailer with kinetic strap: passing the strap through the trailer anchor point and then fixing the strap end to the "bumper" of the trailer (the strap would pass underneath of the trailer). This way I think the trailer would stay more leveled and wouldn't pitch the anchor point down to the ground. Or at least would lift every time you star going forward. Nevertheless, I learnt a lot with this video Andrew! Thank you very much and congratulations for this impressive job.

@ethicalfarmer7424 6 лет назад

Andrew excellent information as I learned some old tricks, look forward to seeing you out on the tracks around OZ.

@airbats801 5 лет назад

good video, but that shackle "trick" which I also learned in my early days from old timer millwrights is actually unsafe and incorrect. The shackle should be tightened all the way by hand. If tight, use something solid to smack it with to loosen up. Coming from a certified rigger :) I will say loosening up the shackle definitely makes it easier to pull the pin though!

@andrewa9245 6 лет назад

Great instructional video with a few ideas I hadn’t seen before and can definitely use. Love seeing how some things change but some things stay the same. Thanks for sharing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@Creativecavemanagain 5 лет назад

I have enjoyed your videoes and have learnt from them. I am an avid 4x4 driver with 35+ years of experience, so what I am about to say isn't coming out of my ass. When using a dead man (anchor) always attach your line to the dead man as close to the ground as possible otherwise, you are creating a fulcrum that is going to dislodge the supporting dead man (anchor). By attaching the tow line high on the anchor, you are creating a mechanical advantage that is working against you and not for you. Cheers

@eduardosanchez7827 6 лет назад

I´m amazed to see that most if not all the vehicles have AT tires, none of them have any agressive Mud Tires. This may change my perception about the subject

Can't wait for the OZ stuff,

@DanSlotea 7 лет назад

hi, interesting stuff! what if, instead of hammering thin bars in the sand, you take a spare wheel, tie a strap to it and bury it vertically and perpendicular to the winch cable, half a meter or more in the sand, spreading the load over a much larger area?

@liebherr11602 2 года назад

In a figure 8 configuration, you must use the choked capacity of the belt, which is generally half the straight pull capacity. Mismatched slings must have the capacity of the smallest sling. The softener in the bite is a great idea.

Carters General Service shovel with a fibreglass handle. Doesn't rot, isn't too heavy, is sturdy, good shape for moving stuff and digging stuff.

@blowpipe1031 6 лет назад

What are those tear drop shaped spike shovels called I need one of them

@solosaga5091 3 года назад

REALLY curious to know if the scoop-shovel at 29:06 has a name, or if it's a custom fabricated tool. Either way, it looks VERY handy.

@JackoTJK 2 года назад

safety line from the anchor point to the winch line in case there's a breaks But most of those examples if there's a break the safety line would just slip off...

Who makes the purple and green safety straps at 9:50 I can't seem to find anything similar online.

Secure-Tech Recovery Safety Lanyard. They're also known as endless slings.

andrew, would you be so kind to specify the alloy track mat at 53:55, what make is it? thank you!

@4xoverland 7 лет назад

no longer made.

@Christian76S 7 лет назад

meh, what a pity. they looked useful and sturdy. way more than the foldable plastic ones ..

@webmonkey44 3 года назад

until now, never seen external hand winches or hubcap wniches. also that old school safety strip over the hard shackle havent seen either

@6969silverangel 6 лет назад

Love the Range Rover at 56:00 the same as my first 4x4. It was a 1982 model 30yo and put many new modified 4x4s to shame.. 👍👍

@williamdomey7584 4 года назад

I learned a lot from this video. Is the dvd still available?

No. Went out of production in 2014.

@WaseemAsmar 4 года назад

the only strange thing in Botswana trip is using regular sized tyres for such journey? any vehicle will stuck easily with that kind of mud if runs on standard wheels right?

@alexbrown5991 2 года назад

In that sandy creek... You will be better off from the start, using your spare wheel and bury it ! That's how the Army have been doing it. I've done it a couple of times. It works brilliantly. In Botswana, those road tyres on the Range Rover was a poor decision.

@marinaday8359 4 года назад

Hi Andrew do you by any chance run courses

@4xoverland 4 года назад

I do not.

33:10 idk why didnt you just you your spare wheel

@unondwayzauyashinga1735 7 лет назад

Some very elementary errors here which which should be obvious. Winching with the bonnet closed and several people pushing. What happened to the lesson of keeping everyone clear of the cable? Where is the "damper" on the winch cable? A high lift jack can be very dangerous to operate. Where are the warnings on this?

@neardood1 3 года назад

The way he says Kinetical Strap tho...

@navaraute 7 лет назад

Bad example at 39:18 attaching D shackles to non rated tow points. These should only be used for tying down a car when being towed. They should never be used to recover a stuck vehicle. Some very dated information in this show.

@planiverse00j 7 лет назад

Why do you believe those are not recovery points on that vehicle? What is the correct procedure?

@navaraute 7 лет назад

These attachment points are on the car from factory and their purpose is mainly to secure the vehicle during transportation or to be used to winch it onto the the back of a tow truck. The forces in the recovery of a bogged or stuck vehicle will exceed what these are designed for. For safety you should install a rated recovery point which will be made from thick plate steel which is bolted to the chassis with high tensile steel bolts that will transfer the load applied over the whole vehicle.

@4xoverland 7 лет назад

In the example of the Defender, which was my own vehicle, I replaced the mild-steel bolts with HT steel, so that I would use them as recovery points.

@navaraute 7 лет назад

Yeah the standard tie downs can be ripped off the chassis and then thing go flying. Living in Australia I am looking forward to your new material filmed here.

@lanceroark6386 6 лет назад

You should have started with communication, and not pulling forward when your spotter is trying to put rocks, and his hands, under the vehicle.

@The-ir1vj 6 лет назад

instead of wasting hours using chains, pegs, shackles and stakes in soft wet sand.. just use sand ladders.

@4xoverland 6 лет назад

That would make a very dull video, and we wouldn't learn anything.

@allaussietraveller9879 3 года назад

You could probably dig it out too but that's not the point of the exercise is it! What if you've burnt out the clutch and can't drive but you have a winch, some chain and a few star pickets.

@fisherman2359 7 лет назад

@WazAustinMini 7 лет назад

All that effort to remove a 4x4 out of soft sand using the winch and seeing the anchor points failing by coming out the ground, the easiest solution to this is to remove the spare wheel and then run the cable and anchor through the middle of the wheel then burry it deep enough in the ground to make a substantial anchor as not everyone has that much equipment on board

@4xoverland 7 лет назад

This was an experiment with stakes. Have you done a sunken wheel recovery? Many people who suggest burying the spare wheel have never actually tried it. I have. It is a HUGE amount of work. You have to dig an enormous hole or the wheel just pulls out of the hole. IMHO it is even more work than knocking in stakes like we did.

@6969silverangel 6 лет назад

Best way is to not get bogged in sand. I found best solution is V8 Land Rover, 18psi in tires and Apply accelerator most of the way to the floor.

@luisclaro3386 3 года назад

@@4xoverland yup and is good to try new methods! I would just give it a go to a different approach: instead of all the stacks being in line with the vehicle I would put the perpendicular to the vehicle. This way I think it's easier to get all the stacks working together at the same time (which you managed to have in the end). But this is just me talking after seeing your attempts and in the comfort of my home :) I know it isn't so obvious when we are in the situation (been there, done that... Is part of these adventures! :) )
