[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3998743, member: 5412"] I've pulled many people from bad situations. What I've seen from others is that that want to take a chain, back up to get some slack and haul a$$ thinking that will jerk them out resulting in a broken chain and the result in the video. You can take a tire, using two chains between vehicles to get an expansion joint that will cushion the pull or buy one of the nylon pull ropes that are about 2" in diameter to really make it easy for a recovery. You can back up 20' from the vehicle to be recovered and pull it out from almost any mud pit. The driver in the stuck vehicle won't feel a thing other than coming out. The nylon rope stretches, and finally recovers with zero damage to the pulled vehicle. I don't off road as much as I used to and am PO at the county road commissioner for putting down such a good road around our farms. I had no problem getting around because I knew the condition of the roads when wet which was full 4WD with big traction tires. Kept the weekend poachers down. Now, a Subaru can go down those roads in a rainstorm. :censored: [/QUOTE]
