Multi Vehicle Recovery

I didn't make this trip due to work and the thread write up is being completed over at 4WDA but it was effectively the inaugural trip for S.W.A.T 4x4 - South West All Terrain 4x4.

I am posting this up in the general patrol section but could also go into the safety threads as well.

Basically I am posting this up to show the importance of picking lines whilst off road and looking at available vs unavailable options. Mishaps will still occur regardless of how careful drivers are.

I will create a S.W.A.T 4x4 thread in the WA trips section for trips I am on :) but the link is here for those wishing to have a gander rather than trying to copy the lot, it is fairly image heavy for all you pic hungry members :)

Some very lucky people there mate, thanks for posting the link.

jeepers, glad it wasnt me and goes to show, one small movement makes the difference between upright and falling over.

Enjoyed the read. Glad every one is ok

Looks like it could be a poor line choice or a simple case of not knowing where your wheels are pointed.
Probably one of the most common mistakes off-road, I would suggest everyone practices a hand over hand technique from the 9 and 3 hands position. Just like performance car driving this driving style allows you to keep track of the steering lock and find center in a hurry if need be.
