P1000 What do you carry for a tree back up

[Vikes79]

Out in the plains you can have the same issue.

not uncommon to get stuck in bottomless soils (sloughs etc) and if your lucky you might have a good fence post within reach, but not likely…and they just pull out usually.

the best tool is a shovel and the space between your ears.



self rescued my self many times with a simple shovel. Dig out the wheel tracks and wedge in rocks, cooler lids what ever to get traction on the wheels.

Of course you could always call your buddy if you have cell reception.

Yep this works too but gotta be very careful not to damage brake lines etc..

StewB, the southern Utah sand is a puzzle for sure. I sure you know this better than me but air down your tires and you will be amazed.

You are right, airing down is magic.
And it can also be like four-wheel drive - it helps you get stuck way, way worse and farther away from help.

Been there done that. I have asked my kids what were you thinking? Then realized that some of us (me) have to learn the hard. besides getting stuck isn't near as much fun as it was when I was younger.

A small tarp. Buried about 3-4’ in the sand. Works like a deadman anchor. Or just buy the “Deadman” system. here’s the link www.deadmanoffroad.com

I carry a "U" channel "T" post cut in 1/2 that bolts back together for use. Since I mostly use it in winter when on tracks, I installed a cable loop about 4" from the bottom so I can hook up winch cable before driving down thru deep snow to solid ground. Also carry single jack hammer for driving post. Have used this several times, works beautifully. Idaho Rocks.

6 sticks of #5 rebar 4’ long and 2’ of chain with clevis’s.

put in 3” abs pipe with screw in cap on one end.
Add 1/2” pex tubing chunks to eliminate rattling.

1/2” wide zip tyes to the rear crossbar of rollcage.

bring nice half jack hammer for fine mechanic work and or driving stakes.

drive into ground in star pattern, slip chain end loop over most solid stake and crisscross wrap and strap through the bundle of stake ends.

Winch your rig out.

 

[Sheetmetalfab]

there it is.

A 5 lbs Danforth anchor will work just dug a hole and bury it so it wil hold better. Is what we used with beach rescues in the Coast Guard.

 

[rickoshea]

you could make these out of steel channel with an angle grinder

From my rope rescue days. It's called a Picket Anchor System.
