There are several methods of vehicle recovery when driving off-road in challenging conditions such as mud, dirt, sand, and snow:
TOWING OR WINCHING
This involves using a tow rope or winch cable attached to another vehicle or a fixed anchor point to pull the stuck vehicle out.
DIGGING
This involves using a shovel or other digging tools to clear the path and create a firmer surface for the tires to grip onto.
DEFLATING TIRES
Lowering tire pressure can increase the surface area of the tires, giving them a better grip on soft surfaces like sand or mud.
USING TRACTION AIDS
Sand tracks, traction mats, or even wooden planks can be used to create a more solid surface for the tires to grip onto.
ROCKING THE VEHICLE
Gently shifting the weight of the vehicle back and forth can sometimes help to dislodge it from a stuck position.
SNATCH STRAP
A snatch strap is a type of flexible rope that is designed to help recover vehicles that are stuck. It works by using the elasticity of the rope to generate a pulling force.
Note: Always carry the necessary equipment and follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damage to the vehicle and ensure personal safety.
