Right? I recently bought a 22 outback and asked my mechanic friend would it be OK to take on the beach. He strongly suggested against as the sand and salt would get into everything and that even a thorough wash down wouldn't be enough to get rid of it all. Only take old rust buckets on the beach

He was stuck good and proper, but if he stopped turning those wheels it would have stayed. Need to keep them rolling or that sand builds up around the wheels and creates more suction making it harder to recover.

The suction around the wheels actually helps it grip in low range he didn't need to spin the wheels at all until he was getting snatched out. I've been bogged in the same situation let the sand harden for 20 mins and it crawled straight out in low range with minimal revs

Perfect lesson on the best way to dig holes with your tyres!

What an epic save,he's very lucky to have had so many willing helpers to save his rig.Cant say I'd be too keen doing beach driving unless there was no other option.

first thing I thought of! Its always in my kit and cost me $50 prob 15yr go and been used twice for such an occasion. Double or triple line winch pull may have been a little wiser too. I guess the mind does things when the pressure is on. End of the day, they got him out and thats a credit to all the people whom helped and that no one was hurt. I did have a laugh at ol' mate who and his misso @ 2:15 whom clearly dont know how a 4WD with open differentials works.

And no shorebird nesting habitat was harmed. Great result 4x4 community.

Love the Aussie Spirit! Glad the bloke got out finally. ❤🇭🇲🦘

people helping others, so nice

Shocking recovery. Driver has no clue. Tyres look like they haven't been put down.

Grate job mate . Truely a grate Australian love it

Bogged to the chassis and still spinning the wheels... It's hard to keep track of all the things being done wrong in this video. A 4wd training course and trying to get a bit more information on 4wding in general would be a good idea for this guy after this...

haha... Some head shaking moments there. 🤣Cheers for getting the footage for our entertainment.

Maybe a wallaby jack on the spare tyre as a foundation, jack it up high and just push it over onto new ground. Done it many times

It's it great to see Aussie helping each other. Well done

Always something going on!! Nice save!

Not sure that guy knows how to drive on sand. Nice of the many other people to help him.

I don’t think everyone driving a 4wd knows how to use their equipment. Its well worth reading up on the subject and practicing skills with the right gear.

How many things could you do wrong? 1. Was is it in low range 4wd? 2. Don’t just spin your wheels, you’ll just dig a deeper hole. 3. Were their tyre pressures down to 12 to 15 psi? Note that right at the end after they had just been recovered they got bogged again and yet someone drove past them and safely up on to the beach! Seems like tyre pressures were still too high and they may not have been in 4wd. Also note that with most fourbies only one wheel at the back and one at the front will seek the least traction and spin, not all 4 and you can see this in action with this car.

Thanks to all the people who helped.

I'm a strong supporter of not insuring people that go off road. Everytime a vehicle is washed out or rolled it's generally because an unessential risk was taken by an inexperienced, ill equipped driver. This bloke looked like he was intoxicated or had no clue. I'm over paying higher premiums to cover shit like this.

Well, I took the liberty to read all the comments before I commented. It's great they got him out or it would have ended up on the glory board! But the consensus was that old mate was drunk. I can't see how that could be possible up there now with so many police around. But I want to know why the front wheels of his rig were not doing their job. Maybe he has a gearbox problem he doesn't yet know about. Someone asked why he didn't use his winch. I couldn't exactly see if he had one. But what I could see was that NO-ONE tried to free the diffs from the grab of the sand. That's what was stopping the car. Freeing the wheels does nothing to free the car. Actually, it is counter productive because the tyres have no grip once you dig the sand away from them. They must sink further into the sand to find grip. Did he let his tyres down and by how much. This is a good learning experience for those who want to get others out in future or drive on the sand themselves. Tyres down to 9psi if really necessary and free up the diffs before digging away the sand around the trees. And make sure 4wd is definitely engaged. It is easy to drive around up there in 2wd on the firm sand. 4wd is only necessary for the tough spots but we leave our cars in 4wd cos it's easier. So he may have been in 2wd all the time. Anyway, all's well that ends well. Lesson learned I hope! lol

We don’t know if he had been drinking or not. Hard to tell as we didn’t speak to him much. But he was certainly overwhelmed by the situation, as you would be if your car was stuck and the tide was coming in. His wife ended up taking control and driving the car. As you said at least it ended well.

Almost made on the wall of fame for Rainbow Beach 😜

He needs to hand his licence in I think 😢

They should something under the back tire since it’s spinning and digging a deeper hole

Old mate thought it was a real laugh. Risking lives and breaking gear, leave the beach for those who know what they’re doing.

Trying to snatch that bogged is a waste of time. Ya need a big winch

@Mouldyturnip75

snatching is a waste of time in such a sitation and only going to break something - the loads are extreme - luck that straps broke, there needs to be a 'fuse' in there somewhere. Multiple static lines are far safer and more effective especially when there was a couple of vehicles available. Several vehicles providing a static pull will generate a large sum of total pulling force without any vehicle creating extreme - the sum of the parts, not 1 x 4t 79 series proving a full throttle snatch.

@jbrizz99

Жыл бұрын

Winching is the only way to get someone out of sand. The suction takes time to break, a short high peak load snatch will just break something (hopefully just the strap). A winch with constant tension starts slowly pulls it out of the sand until it's free. This video is proof, they broke straps but the winch got it out, and you see how slowly it comes up when it finally does start to move, a snatch can't do that.

Here's why buying 2nd hand 4wd's is a risky gamble 😅

Beach on Sunday, sold on Monday

I'm tipping a double line pull would've worked. Why didn't he use his winch. Great effort getting him out.

If that is Saltwater, everyone of those vehicles will be a rusted out p.o.s within 4 years....four wheel drives and simple people go hand in hand...

Should of left him there ??? Lucky no one got injured helping this Clown.
