- A recovery tool born from the inspiration of safe and self recovery in 1967. The Pull Pal has been a tenured piece of equipment that has been utilized in off roading, competition, expeditions, military and has had a resurgence in the overlanding community. Clifton Slay and Pat Gremillion speak of history, design, versatility and the basic recovery configurations of this classic tool.
Super cool interview and product review
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, I love hearing the history on this stuff. Those soft shackles and recovery ring package look amazing too. 😉
Glad you enjoyed it
We did this and the Premier Power Welder video to honor our long time cohort Pat and his great lineage within the community. A great product, a greater man. ~Clifton Slay
This was a great talk with Pat and education on Pull-Pal, thanks for making it happen, Clifton
i have one without the holes it costs a lot to ship it to Saudi Arabia more than the pull pal itself out of all the sand anchors we tried this is the best the only disadvantage is weight and size and cost of shipping but i recommend it to all my friends it just works every time .
Saudi, very cool. Thanks for sharing
Cool old dude, bet he's got a ton of good stories from back in the day. While I like the pull-pal, I've been using a buried spare for years in both deep mud and sugar sand where there were no winch points nearby.
Yep, Pat is one cool dude. Thanks for the input
Damn, that old man is seriously mic'd up
must have for those solo trips
Agreed, thanks Jake
Looks like a great tool! I think in solo trips, put your vehicle on crawl control (or whatever system you have) and you are all set to get unstuck!
Well, we can confirm that there are few substitutes for a Pul-Pal when buried in a Baja silt flat, solo, and it's midnight...okay, no substitute!
Fantastic 👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks
Overlanding has been around since the Willys-Overland Jeep, so it's not exactly new, more popular now, but an old term...
True, but the term has been in use for a thousand or more years. Travel was either by sea or over land...think Marco Polo in the 13th century, or the trade routes to Timbuktu. They were termed overland routes. Thanks for the input.
Ya we called it car camping 😂
So much compaction....
At work we have a truck that goes off road quite a bit and it's huge, she's like a full size F350 Super Crew longbed, all 47' of her lol, and thought we could use the Pull Pal to get her out. Nope. It just plowed the ground lol Maybe gumbo isn't the best for it, but now she sits in the corner collecting dust. It is huge and weigh a metric ass tonne.
YMMV
Thanks for the input. Collard tested ground anchors, as well as the spare tire method) a few years back. If the soil (any soil) is not compact enough most will struggle. Tires work in the gumbo if buried deep enough because they provide greater surface area.
You're supposed to use 3-2 for heavy vehicles, not just 1.

9:50 Dang, now I can't be mad at the, British after what they said about the Jeep during WW2.
Well, it's certainly big enough. I think I'll stick with my Smittybuilt.

Thanks
😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻
Good idea, but that thing is huge. You are already carrying a a spare tire. Burry that with a strap attached.
Reminds me of the sand anchors that are a big tarp with straps that you bury.
The Pull-Pal does take space, but sure works well. Understand the spare tire, that works too.
The bury a tire or log works but a heck of a lot more effort is needed. I remember having to do a few different techniques for training on A.D. in Army. Another one is using logs set as pickets and winching off of them. Very labor intensive. Using a Pul-Pal is quite easy compared.
@@Gone_Gpn a lot more digging with using the spare tire. Ugh
What if you need to have both to get yourself that now that would be interesting
