That was probably the easy part - getting to go would be a different story.

When I was a young tacker, I was taught at a Ventura camp (scouts) how to extract a landrover that was bogged to the axles using nothing but rope. Very simple; find a sturdy tree, put some protection around it and then go back and forth between the car and the tree about six times. Then insert a stout prepared branch in the middle of the ropes and start turning. The action of the rope coiling around itself pulled the car out quick smart; used this a few times over the years when a winch has note been handy. (has to be a good rope)
Cheers . . . Mike

When I was in Venturers, we never tried things like that as no one trusted us with their vehicle/s, although we were shown the basic techniques!Steve

My own venturers have even driven the delica through Big and little desert on their L plates, which totally freaked out the Patrol club of SA when we were tackling stuff and getting through where their pootrols weren't.Current vehicles: 1995 3.5l nj Pajero x 2, 1995 2.8td Mitsubishi Delica,2011 Jeep Patriot, 2 x 1971 ta 22 celicas, 74 ta 22 celica, ke 35 corollla with 18rg, 95 gtr 1000, 79 leyland terrier bus ( 350 chev),1978 ke 35 corolla, 1980 ra 40 celica 18rgeu,2011 agricat jd495
