Starting to sort the recovery rig…

After my recent requirement to help dig/pull a couple of lads who had managed to get themselves stuck in the Coromandel - I thought it was well over time to start sorting out the recovery gear for the truck.

While I have carried some recovery boards and a method of digging for a long time – my ‘towing’ capacity has consisted of a tow rope and the towbar – not ideal for actual recovery work.

Maxtrax and a Shovel have been carried with me most of my time owning the Defender.

I am well aware that you should never try to recover anyone bogged down with a towpin/bar – so I was keen to at least sort the rear of the truck out properly – at least until I can get the long term plan for it underway (finances allowing!).

The long term plan.

Information overload!

There are already plenty of great resources out there for learning from – so I don’t intend to emulate them here – for example:

In close, should I aim high or low?

Ballistics 0
I hear the comment quite regularly - 'I got in real close to the animal - but just couldn't seem to get the bullets to go where I was aiming - I was so close, I must have had to aim lower, right?' Well, no. If you aimed lower, there is a good chance you put a round under the animal - or worse still - into a leg. But why? Oh. Maths!
