Thanks for the video @Mohamed Seidam. Just wandering if, in the time it took to tie the rope around the tire and secure it to the car, some good old shoveling would have also done the trick. After all it was a short wheel base car, and on the first stuck, with a front-heavy position, digging a V under the front may have freed the chassis enough for the car to self recover, just as quickly. 

Then, of course, each driver grows up in different off-roading cultures, and I've found that what is drilled into you is what you end up resorting to, all the time. I have driven once with an acquaintance who had been taught in his club to winch cars out, and who had never used a kinetick tow rope!! Yet winching suited him just fine. So, while I may prefer shovelling (always my first resort) it's good to see these videos, from different off-roaders, to learn thinking outside our box, and learn new tricks. Now, I would still prefer shovelling, but will keep this in mind, in the need arises. Thanks!!

Just to clarify  - since they were speaking in Arabic in the video - the guy mentioned that this was instructional video meant to teach the technique.

I always find it interesting to learn the "Bedouin" ways of dealing with situations in the desert .

Although driving alone in the desert could be the biggest mistake in life ....... What would a person spending most of his time living in the desert do if his car is stuck with two cross wheels in the air without a differential locker !!!! 

I came across this video on YouTube where desert people explain their creative solution to this .

To our marshals and expert drivers  ........ what is your opinion ? It would be great if this can be tested .

You could go to most off-road shops and they will install a killswitch for 200 aed or less. I would recommend to do this since the airbags need to be deactivated too, you do not want them to go off while offroading. 

Is there a fuse for the Airbag ? or do they install the kill switch directly through the cabling of the Airbag .

If they mess-up with the Airbag cabling , I would say this is a dangerous way to deal with the situation. every time the kill switch is used , there is a chance of Airbag discharge. ( I have this opinion based on a car repair manual for installing/removing front airbag. actually -  even a static charge from your hand to the airbag connection can activate the airbag discharge ).
