      Taking risks , at least calculated ones , is good for us . It helps our confidence . Even kids hurt in a playground , will "confidently " go back to that playground , once they heal up , if no one makes too big a deal out of their injuries . If you are out in the forest /desert /sand dunes having fun , you will occasionally get into trouble .

    7 hours of playing in that sand that day. Stopped at the bottom of a rut when I saw the rocks behind me. They looked much worse on back up camera. Not the first time I’ve been stuck in my life and won’t be the last. Trx is amazing across the board. I had just came from Moab the previous day and had no issues. Biggest problem here was it was 97° I’m not the youngest or healthiest man anymore. I would recommend this place to anyone with an equipped rig. Just remember you might get stuck and shoveling sand is a lot harder than meeting Matt and the crew. Thanks again Matt. You guys rock.

The truck in the beginning of the video (if I looked up the right one) has a curb weight of over 6,000 lbs. and the Morrvair yanked it right out even though it was practically buried in the sand. Another awesome recovery video! Thanks for the continued content.

    Kinetic energy rope: 1 unit of energy in and about 5 to 6 units of energy out. They were developed by DARPA. Running over the rope with no strain on it doesn't hurt it at all, what destroys them is when the vehicle is on it and being dragged with the weight of the vehicle on it and it's between the vehicle and the pavement. Another great video! We all love Lizzy!

      @@JF32304 You can't get more energy out of a system then you put it. Its just not possible. You'll always get less because some is lost to friction, heat, sound etc.
      I think what you mean to say is that you get 5x (or whatever the number) more energy out of a dynamic pull than out of a static one.
      When pulling someone with a static rope you're only pulling with the power of the engine and you're limited to the traction before its tires start to slip.
      With a kinetic energy rope the recovery vehicle can put MUCH more energy into the system because they're able to get a running start so you're transferring all the momentum from the recovery vehicle to the stuck vehicle.
      So if you get 1x power from a static pull and 5x power from a dynamic pull its because you're putting more energy into the system because the recovery vehicle gets a running start. its not because the rope generates energy.

    • @SDScuba
      @SDScuba 3 роки тому +1

      It's basic physics. You get more energy in the dynamic pull because a moving vehicle has more kinetic energy to transfer. The extra energy in a dynamic pull comes from the momentum of the recovery vehicle, not energy created by the rope. The rope CANNOT create energy. It simply transfers it from the recovery vehicle to the stuck vehicle.
      You're probably thinking about pullies/gears where 1x of force applied to one end of the system can generate 5x the force on the other end but that's different than how dynamic ropes work.

    We had a similar old guy that would always get lost in his pirogue southeast of New Orleans. We'd get the call for a first light flight out of Belle Chase NAS (Alvin Callendar Field) on Saturday mornings. The first time we got called the sheriff told us the sooner the better to find hin since he was diabetic and the wife said he didn't take his insulin with him. Then they told us he was legally blind. We did find him and his dog safe and sound, but when we dropped our message in a huge capsule (maybe 15" long) with a note in big letters that the CG was there to help him we hit him in the head with it. Fortunaely it was only a glancing blow. Vectored in the sheriff's boat and everyone was happy. There were several other missions to find him during the rest of my tour in NOLA.
    As always, hats off to Matt and crew for sharing their awesome work with their viewers!

      Running over the rope can also damage the anchor point on the vehicle being towed. It creates an enormous amount of stress when the rope goes under the tire like that.
