you don't have to dig the DEAD MAN out. just winch on one of four straps. it will come out
The US Army FM 20-22 Vehicle recovery handbook is priceless. You can find them easily in PDF form. It covers all these methods, plus so much more.
When stuck in mud, sand or snow after youve found a good anchoring point to hook your winch line to lay the winch line over the top of your spare tire about 5 feet in front of your rig . It will lift your vehicle up out of the mud , sand or snow before its starts being pulled forward. Its amazing how fast a vehicle is recovered using the spare as a lifting point
I notice whenever someone is testing the Deadman it's always in nice soft sand and on a sunny beautiful day. If only life was that convenient, lol!
Try a builders tonne bag. We use the for delivering sand to building sites in the UK. The other plus about them is they are strong and practically free.
I think the hi-lift jack would have worked if it was burried deeper. the other critical component that was missing from these attempts was that you didn't dig a lead line trench from the depth of the anchor in the direction of the winch. this would have given less of a vertical (lifting) force component and it would have engaged more passive resistance from the earth you are trying to anchor in. another easily stored option that would require a lot less digging is a tilting plate passive earth anchor. I have seen these used for heavy equipment tie downs with great success as long as it is installed correctly.
Must have for any recovery kit- two other mugs to do the digging!
When you berry anything for an anchor you need to dig a small channel for your strap or cable to lay in so it's not trying to pull it up and out of the hole
A good video and public service. One thing i would add is bury your point as far as possible from the stuck vehicle. Use as much working strap as you can. The reason being is if you get stuck again digging that hole a second time is a real pain in the butt... from first hand experience. ;-)
Thank you for this. I've got a winch installation ordered and the Deadman is already in my van. Your videos are very helpful for someone not a hardcore off roader but someone looking for modest adventure in the pursuit of other goals.
Lesson from snow & ice climbing: make sure the lead from the dead anchor is buried so that the pull doesn't just lift the anchor out of the snow/sand - the anchor needs to stay below sand level, so line up the pull rope/strap accordingly.
Thanks for going to so much effort in this video guys, wow what a workout!
very good video, thanks.
Bulka bag $20 at sand or brick suppliers- will give that a try, I have seen them lift 2 tons. Also if you can't get a bulka bag out, just leave it there ( with regard to the environment, ie if tide beating ya, Good stuff!)
The Dead Man Tool is so greatfully..best thing for towing in sand i ever seen! Thanks every time for your very very good Videos Ronny!
I love how honest your reviews are. Keep it up.
It's great that you guys take the time and so much effort to demonstrate what works.
great effort Ronny, the deadman works tops and easy to store in a recovery kit, etc
Great recovery system. Always great videos.
An idea tried in Mexico was HI lifting each wheel filling hole with sand and topping with Max Trax. Worked like a charm..
