Yeah I'm just wondering without the winch what we could have done. Dig lots and just work on it slowly or use two cars to pull it. Or 1 V8

We could have cleared the sand in front of all the wheels to reduce resistance and attempt a recovery. However, considering the scorching sun and intense heat, opting for a winch recovery was the right call, especially since a winch-equipped vehicle was available in the convoy.

Additionally, it is a heavy car, avoiding further digging can prevent from getting buried deeper, that ultimately makes recovery easier.

Thank you brother it was really good to meet you. I think we would have lots to talk about in winter over a BBQ and quite night in the desert.

Totally agree ! After some digging the kinetic recovery would have worked.

Ropes that don’t stretch would be a bad idea to use in this situation. These are only good for towing vehicles.

Good evening guys.

Amazing drive today! Thanks to all the senior members who supported us and shared a bit of their knowledge, and was great to see again some faces and meet some others for the first time.

Here are the pics (sorry but are mostly from the front of the convoy)

See you soon!
