    last faqa drive i dont think you were getting most of our messages from the back either.. no replies. maybe too much squelch applied filtering out 'staticky broadcasts'
  4. Gaurav
    @Frederic might weigh in better as well.
  5. Looper
    Interesting… What you are saying is that you were able to hear me but not the guys at the back; while I was able to hear what they are saying. I could often hear and understand their displeasure with my radio 😝. It could be some kind of solar flair interaction with our radios. @Simon D would you like to weigh in?
  6. Deepak Eswar
    Thank you, Frans, for the photo.

    to be fair, @Looper was often replying to you guys while my baofeng (with antenna) was only receiving static. And I was in 2nd position: - [somebody]: shhh shhs shhs - [Looper]: copy that, slowing down - [somebody]: shhh shhs shhs - [Looper]: it's OK, standing by

    Great. This is what I was looking for. Thanks for the insight!

    Normal shovel. This is basically our most useful tool in desert driving. In 95% of recovery situations in the desert, a sturdy shovel will get you out. I know in the US winches are used along with tree straps etc to self-recover. Winches aren't very prevalent here as a self-recovery tool since we very rarely have something to strap on to in the desert. Land anchors for sand tend to be large, heavy and impractical and I've only ever seen a handful of people with one There are quite a few people who have winches on their rigs here but they are mostly used to help recover someone else

    Just a regular shovel. it is used to remove sand from under the car. Mine is AOR extendable shovel. I disassemble it into 3 pices and store it in the bag with ropes. I find it nice and tidy. While it is not large but it does work most of the times. Ideally you want to get one with a long handle so that you can reach underneath the car from all directions.

    @Looper it seemed in those straight stretches at fast pace when the convoy was spread out I could not hear you at the back , unless we were taking bends . I tried both radios Crony and Baofeng same result. There was also multiple times @Imran Asghar radioed and we could not tell if there was a response.
  16. TheGuardianJLU
    Just for my clarification, when you mentioned a shovel... did you mean a ground anchor to aid in recovery or a regular shovel? Both will provide their own benefits. More my curiosity here... Thanks!
  17. Looper
    @Imran Asghar, @Stumpy, @Dodi Syahdar, @Gary F, @Senthil Kumar. One more thing I wanted to highlight - till this drive I never had any issues with the radio, this is the first drive I was told that I am unaudible at the back.

    Interested to see if recovery kits vary for the desert troopers... coming from a rock crawler background... we have trees and large boulders that give us an advantage to use our winches during recovery. What does your recovery kit include, and why? What are the most common recovery strategies you have found on the dunes? My Personal Recovery Gear includes: 3 snatch blocks with synthetic shackles light weight aluminum style pulleys 1 steel snatch block 2 aluminum shackles 4 soft shackles 1 long soft shackle 2 tree savers 2 chafe guards 2 line dampeners Kinetic recovery rope Tow straps Fast fid rope (rope splicing tool) Gloves (we use gloves at all times, I have had to recover someone's finger off a trail to the hospital/assist with a Member that accidentally spliced their finger too) Hand-held GMRS radio Well-functioning winch/winch controller/free pull available & synthetic line
