To be honest that film, if it is watched by a swag of people, actually has a some teaching points that might save a life. Using a swinger rope from the rear of dead vehicle to the tree up hill prevented any downslope movement during recovery. That one technique if now used by average joe who wouldnt have thought of physics before this video could be a life saver... stupid people get in stupid situations all the time, they either learn smarts the hard way or watch a video and learn from the couch while drinking a beer.

This man has a good outlook on the whole thing

Looks pretty legit to me.

Lots of cameras? they are a film crew. They filmed it like an action drama? It is their job. Hell I see so many dead rolled cars around the place it doesn't surprise me in the least.

Reminds me of my first time going off road exploring.. no idea what I was doing really, just bumbling along in my Fiat 131 (learned all about wheel placement ahahah) Hell I used to check my tires were all pumped up before I left!

The thing I find telling is that 4WDA own ironman or Tigerz or whatever brand and yet all their recover gear was ARB.
