towball recovery !

[megatexture]

we were camping at teewah beach and were evacuated just before the floods hit and an old fella got bogged in his cruiser pulling a camper so his mate came over to help they proceeded to wrap one end around the shackle holding on the leaf springs on the bogged vehicle and throw a strap on thetow ball of the recovery vehicle even though we all told them this wasn’t a good idea so ... the strap snapped on the first attempt so they tied a knot in it and threw it over the tow ball again and off they went .. We picked up the broken end of the strap to chuck it out and found it had 2 rusted bolts in it! The strap had been repaired! I just couldn’t believe my eyes!

Oh and there’s a nice gu in the vid also lol

the crazy thing is when he opened his door to get the strap out there was a new one on the seat beside the old one he picked up !

Crazy crazy craziness, isn't it great when people don't listen to good advice

To tap, or not to tap: Well it's obviously tap because this is the signature hey!!!!!! Duh

Here's a pic that may be misleading to some, 3500 kg
Tow balls are for towing ONLY NOT RECOVERIES

You should have just spent the whole time laughing out loud at them............

I love incompetence - did you see the pile of sand in front of his front wheels - shovel, little bit of sweat and a I reckon he could've driven it out. That snatch was a great advertisement for all the things not to do!

Some people just don't know how lucky they are to still be whole, and breathing.
