DESCRIPTION:
"Not enough" according to Thomas Kennedy. I found the information somewhat outdated most explanations in the book are better done elsewhere. The book deals with offroad recovery situations most fourwhelers will never experience. I suggest going to a basic offroad "live" class and forget this book.. "Author's comments" according to A Customer. I was interested to see a number of comments. I realise that it may be complicated and strove not to make it dependant on maths. What prompted me to put the book together was a collection of briefing and lecture notes that I had created while running my small company and giving instruction. I was acutely conscious of some glaring health and safety failings on the part of many people undertaking off-road (ie emergency) style recoveries. In the main it is not intended to be a collection of 'if you are stuck like this photos' and this again was a conscious decision because of the enormously wide variety of situations that could occur.. Recovery The book was a little disappointing. It covered the topic and had some very detailed number crunching charts. But for the money Four-Wheeler's Bible is just as good on recovery and has many other topics for the same price.
Includes coverage of electric winch data, vehicle weights and capacities, holdfast and deadman anchors, traction aids, towing and more.. Everything you need to know to get you out of those tight spots! Cole teaches you how to extricate yourself and your vehicle safely and with minimum damage both to your 4x4 and to the environment
