Join us in taking a look at the basic skillset necessary for safe and successful off road vehicle recovery. This video covers one of the most important aspects of vehicle recovery: how to roughly calculate the forces necessary to extract a stuck and/or damaged vehicle. All you need to estimate the pull required to move a vehicle is the weight of the vehicle, roughly how stuck it is, what slope you are on, and if the vehicle is damaged or not. This basic information will allow you to calculate the minimum force required to move the stuck vehicle, and from there you can look at the recovery points on the vehicle and any winches, straps, shackles, and other equipment that will be used in rigging the recovery pull.
It is critical to know how much forces will be involved with a recovery situation so that you can stay within the working load limit of all recovery points and equipment. This will ensure a safe and hopefully successful recovery. Any equipment that you plan on using should have a known working load limit (WLL) and minimum breaking strength. When you are working with questionable tow straps, hooks, or recovery points, it's necessary to know what the weak link is is the system and ascertain exactly HOW that weak link will fail if it is overloaded. This will allow you to move personnel to safe areas, rig safeties into the system, rig multiple straps or bridle recovery points together, improvise winch blankets or other weights on recovery lines, and generally recover in a safer and more thoughtful way.
