We have been using and recommending securing the tow rope for harder tug always, recently I got to experience its real importance. In Liwa across soft sand patch, when we have to pull a dead car, where we have to have a slightly higher rolling momentum to release the car from soft sand and yet continue rolling. During that time, the stock tow point failed and the safety rope absorbed the potential trajectory and hit the tow point back into the sand. No damage was caused to Raptor (towing vehicle) or any human around. Here are the pics of the climber shackle rated for 200 kg and the safety rope rated for 500 kg.

Finally! Can't wait for when the BlackBeast goes treasure hunting in Little Sweihan 🏴‍☠️

The plan is to have a sunset FB+ level drive covering Lisaili, Murqab and Qudra for around 3 hours in total from 4- 7 PM. Post 7PM, we find a nice spot very close to exit point and have a campfire & enjoy the weather. It is optional to stay back for campfire part. As we would finish the drive very close to a exit track, drive members are free to leave anytime after 7pm. We can wrap up the camp fire around 10-11 PM. Thing’s to keep: camp chair, 1 pack of wood per driver, snacks for yourself.

dear Dune surfers! @Zulfikhar Naiyar @Mario Cornejo @Jona @Ignacio Quindós @Jaro Tuzinsky @Ashutosh Garg @Mike M. @Pierre de Maigret @Sam K @Archibald Jurdi Welcome to the drive!.. I intend to prepone the meeting time to 6.30 AM.. this means we are deflated and ready to move by 6.45 AM. let me know if it works for you as well by a Thumbs up reaction to this message or message otherwise.

This is going to be fun.. I did this drive with Fewbie a couple of weeks back and they were phenomenal… the plan is to push the envelope a bit higher and include the 7 sisters this time!

I won't be able to join the drive on Saturday due to an unexpected commitment, I've removed my RSVP 😢 Enjoy the drive! This is going to be an exciting one

Sorry to hear @Klaus Pedersen hope nothing too serious.

@Gary F I we have a post on Instagram on 2nd October 2022 that you want to see. it is not allowed on the forum to advertise or recommend businesses.

Been waiting for a @Hisham Masaad intermediate Yalla push drive for a while! Gutted i cannot make this weekend, but also wasnt near the internet at 1900 on monday either 🤣. Im sure it will be a good one! Enjoy all!

@Ranjan Das mate it is your turn now to treat us with coffee and dates. @Hisham Masaad was fully packed last time when your car broke down. LOL

thanks much @Hisham Masaad, appreciate.

👍

Thanks @Hisham Masaad, yallaaaa pushhh .. ohhhh yeaaa ...🥳 @Ranjan Das this is the chance my friend to make good memories of shwuib💪 Looking forward to see you all soon

Very simple @Ranjan Das done 😂

As they say, 'there's alway a first time'! and it was for me today...by the time i could log in it was 14 minutes too late, was (still am) 4th on the WL. When i'm the inspiration (hope that's the case ) i should at least be on the drive - how about you waving your magic wand and handing me a wild card entry @Hisham Masaad, even a back door entry would do - your choice Keeping my fingers crossed.

Yess! The black beast has returned. True that!

Welcome Angela , let's yalla push

Ooft , made it!! Alarm set for 1858 to remind me to pull over to secure my spot …it’s been a looooong time since I had to do that 🤣 I cannot wait for this drive …YALLA!

I need to ask etisalat to upgrade my internet connection cause the webpage wasn’t refreshing fast enough and i nearly missed the top 10 spots🤣

@Hisham Masaad you should be renaming the drive” @Ranjan Das capturing Shuweib “

thanks @Hisham Masaad for arranging this drive - I and my Jeep are in

@Hisham Masaad thanks Hisham and Ranjan for coming up with this drive. Last time we were there, we were tackling the dunes right from get-go, until of course Ranjan's car decided otherwise. The mighty raptor then had to pull the Jeep across the dunes for 1-2 hours - what an experience. Looking forward to this redemption drive. Cheers

Absolute amazing drive @Vanessa8580 every dune I crossed got me closer to believing I was on Tatooine 😁 and you did a great job leading us into Liwa and out no matter what the scenario @Brette did an amazing job in second lead no matter the difficulty of the landscape @Srikumar and @Varun Mehndiratta who didn’t back down when it came to helping a hand We had a great support team that lended a hand around every corner we took. Especially the camp fire at the end of the day which reminded me of the times in beavers/the small time I had in Scouts.

What an amazing weekend we had in Liwa !! First of all I want to thank my wonderful husband @Frederic to stay home with the kiddos and giving me the opportunity to lead my first Liwa crossing. On the way to Liwa I had some difficulties with my alternator and I really feared that I wouldn't be able to lead but with the help of @Srikumar, @Gaurav Soni and 2 wonderful mecanics in Liwa town who were able to temporarily fix it, I made it to the meeting point ! My whole fewbie convoy did really great and we were able to make it to waypoint 18 on time and without too much struggles. Also the second day went quite smoothly with only a few refusals, one winch recovery and a pop out fix. I want to thank everyone who joined and also congratulate you for successfully completing the Liwa crossing ! See you next time

Thank you for making this trip happen, this was a great experience. Great lead from our Marshal, superb support team and great company. Looking forward to the next edition.

Both Ariana and I enjoyed the first day and the camping with all of you a lot. Was great fun and a great bunch of people! Would have loved to complete the crossing with you 😢 but there will be other drives 😃

🤣 yip, @Gary F got what I asked for. Was quite something. Three winches, two pulling, one securing and amazing teamwork within the intermediate team and our fellow Fewbie @Tharun Kumar V. Need to have a look at what the GoPro caught...

Hi @GauravSoni I removed myself from the drive as I will not be able to make it. Was looking forward to meeting you and driving with you for the first time. Heard a lot about your Pajero. Hopefully I’ll get another chance soon. Enjoy!

Damn! Broke my hand this afternoon and have to cancel. Enjoy your ride Saturday.
