So glad you’re teaching people how to properly pull someone out of a ditch. I’ve seen so many videos on here, even from off-roading+ towing channels where they would try to pull it just from the road without a tree saver or snatch block. I’ve seen it many times where they end up causing additional damage because they drag the vehicle further into the ditch before it actually comes out. P.S I would advise everyone to always use synthetic rope, straps, or kinetic rope. I’ve personally had a steel cable break and it flew by me within inches of my head. I could feel the air as it went by it was that close. If that hit me, I probably wouldn’t be typing this to you today! I’ve since switched to synthetic rope/kinetic rope and will never go back!

@aphextwin5712
@aphextwin5712 Жыл бұрын
To clarify this, “closed to the public” almost always means closed for motor vehicles (with exceptions for agricultural and forestry vehicles). And they are closed for motor vehicles in order to protect nature and wildlife, reduce noise pollution for nearby residents but also to enable safe and undisturbed use for leisure like hiking or biking. And I’d like to say, even half of those agricultural access roads (that only agricultural motor vehicles are allowed on) are paved, but that will naturally vary a lot in different parts of Europe.

And even the gravel roads usually don't turn into mud that would get you stuck. The only time i have seen mud roads like in Matts videos here in western EU was on one of the biggest military training grounds where the roads are not gravel but just dirt and torn up by tanks and aren't open to public use either.

The law just says manufacturers must have a towing point, not what size it should be. To be fair, different vehicles might need different attachments and also many vehicles have come with fixed, welded loops (e.g. vans and trucks). There are main sizes: M20 2.5mm RH, M16 3mm LH, M12 something and M24 something BMW/Mini is the M16x3 LH. If Matt wanted to carry an eye, carrying an M16 and M20 would cover most bases I suspect.

I run two foresters is pretty snowy country. I pulled a pick-up back on the road the other day. Best thing about the forester is how much oil they burn. And much of a genuine POS they are.

Nice recovery, and you are right Matt modern vehicals (mostly trucks) have baffles in the oil pan to keep the pickup covered at steep angles. You almost have to roll one on its side to starve it. Now if that would have been a early 70s F100 with a FE motor I might have been a little concerned about oils starveation. I had one with a built 390, and put a Milidon pan on it to add oil and a baffle.

We call that missing bit on the mini a towing eye. 99% of roads in the uk are paved, there are a few in some of the national parks that are gravel but they are few and far between.

Great recoveries. You know it’s slick when you can tow by the rim. I would get some snow plow rubber foils to make new mud fenders for the morvair. They wouldn’t take away from the look like rusty metal.

One thing I've notice when you're pulling someone backwards in the mud, steering is the opposite of normal. She keeps turning drive as if she is on pavement. Being towed the rear end doesn't swing, it just goes where it's towed. The front wheels point to the right going backwards so the car goes right. She should be turning passenger so the car drifts to the drive side.

That's right. We don't get stuck in Europe because we don't have dirt track roads as highways, although the rare occasions we get snow is another matter. It was most disconcerting when driving an RV in the USA when a paved road turned into a dirt road.
