I'll admit I haven't watched the vid.
The description however, sparked a memory of seeing a TV program where the proper use of a land anchor was shown. I think it was the Bushman bloke (many apologies, I can't recall his name). Anyway, he ran the cable over one of his spare tyres, to the anchor to achieve better leverage. Seems to me that you usually have a spare tyre, so why carry an extra bit of kit?
I didn't see a shovel anywhere in the video.
Looking at the situation shown there, a shovel would be the first thing to try.
I reckon less than 5 minutes work would turn that abrupt bank into a ramp that you could simply drive up.
Would it be Les Hiddins, the ABC "Bush Tucker Man?Quote:

It could double as a camera tripod to film yourself using before mentioned shovel.
Another piece of useless kit. Also, the high roller could topple over if it wasn't properly placed or if it became dislodged, perhaps if the recovery line changed significantly due to the vehicle slipping sideways during a recovery.
I like how they say "we've made it over" when only the front wheels are up and the rest of the car isn't going to make it due to the poor ramp over angle of the vehicle.
Haha. Probably about all it's good for!!Quote:
