With this technique, whether forward or backwards recovery, the strop is attached to both vehicles with approximately two meters of slack. The tow vehicle moves off at a moderate speed in low first or second. As the tension is taken up the strop will stretch and transfer energy to the stuck vehicle. You might have to do it more than once to free the vehicle. Don't go at it to fast as the energy build up in a bungee strop is massive. This will free your vehicle in most situations.

Vehicle recovery is dangerous. Broken ropes, shackles and hooks can kill

• Never stand near a recovery strop that is under load.
• Only the people directly involved with the recovery should be near the vehicles. Everyone else should be at least 50m away in all directions.
• Don't let children get close.

Driving along the side of a hill.
Walk over the route first, looking out for any dips, bumps or slippery patches. When under way drive at low revs in low second, if you feel the vehicle slip or tipping turn down hill and accelerate quickly at the same time. This will straighten the vehicle up again.

Rivers come in different types & sizes. With all of them make sure what you are getting into first. It always pays to walk through first with a stick & mark any obstacles & cheek firmness of the bottom. In braided rivers look for rapids this is usually the shallowest part at their head.
It is best to use low first or second. Aim to keep a small bow wave ahead of you, This keeps water away from the motor. Don't touch the clutch unless absolutely necessary.
