YOU NAME IT, WE'VE PROBABLY BEEN STUCK IN (OR ON) IT. SNOW- YEP. SAND- MORE TIMES THAN WE CAN COUNT. BOULDERS- WE STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT THIS ONE. MUD- OF COURSE. WE'VE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO GET UNSTUCK FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. WE'VE LEARNED SOME TRICKS ALONG ON WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO TO GET UNSTUCK QUICKLY (AND- HOPEFULLY- WITHOUT WANTING TO MURDER THE PEOPLE YOU ARE WITH) 

​

MUST HAVE GEAR TO HELP YOU GET UNSTUCK:

• SHOVEL: OUR.  

• TRACTION BOARDS: TRACTION BOARDS COME IN PARTICULARLY HANDY IN SAND AND SNOW.  

• JACK: .

• ROPE OR TOW STRAP: IF YOU AREN'T ABLE TO GET UNSTUCK ON YOUR OWN, THEN YOU MIGHT NEED A LITTLE TUG FROM A FRIEND.

• TIRE DEFLATORS: SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LET A LITTLE AIR OUT OF YOUR TIRES AND THAT IS ENOUGH TO HELP YOU.   

THE BIGGEST POINTER IN GETTING UNSTUCK IS TO USE RECOVERY GEAR BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF IN TOO DEEP. IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE, BUT IT ISN'T WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO. INSTEAD, PEOPLE TEND TO TRY TO GET THEIR VEHICLE UNSTUCK BY HITTING THE GAS PEDAL, SPINNING THE WHEELS AROUND AND BURYING THE TIRES DEEPER INTO WHATEVER THEY ARE STUCK IN. ALL THIS ACCOMPLISHES IS TO GET THE RIG EVEN MORE STUCK.

 

WE HOPE THIS HELPS YOU GET UNSTUCK SO YOU CAN GET BACK ON THE TRAIL!
