As an oldie, ya accept help from ANYONE! lol

If push comes to shove and it's getting dark or the tide's rising, I'll even consider half a carton! lol

Rossco

Is fresh fish instead a carton acceptable payment for random assistance??

Yep reckon I'd be happy with that :-)

With my fishing record, I'd be very happy with fish if I ever had to recover a Tojo.

More importantly, I'd even accept a "Thank you"

Cool - we helped some guys out on the weekend and got a couple of yummy fish that they had just caught :)

But yeah !! The Thanks was enuff but they insisted ...

G'day Amelia, I think thanks and rewards for recoveries is a personal thing.

But if you look on here there are a few instances where the person being recovered had no gear, the person doing the recovery had gear damaged in the course of that recovery, yet the person recovered drove off into the sunset without offer to make good the damage, a thanks, or even a backward glance.

You'll also see instances where several people have spent a lot of time and effort in recovering a stranger, and been quite happy with a sincere thank you - part of being in the 4 wd community I guess.

Especially in a mud recovery there is always gear to be cleaned and put away.

That's just RUDE!!! Only new to all this but my theory is a Thank You goes a mile & who knows, we will no doubt need help one day.

Sheez the first thing I went and bought before I took Frank out was a basic recovery kit - lucky for me I was with Brad and the patrol so he pulled me out when Frank buried his balls in sand (although it was Brads fault LOL he knew I'd get bogged but sent me up on the powdery sand anyways LOL .... )

seriously dozer... your a bloody legend mate... iv been seachin all day and everyone just looks at me all stupid, as if i should know this already... there is no excuse for me to get stuck now
