One thing that I've never understood is that when people do off roading and their car (or van) gets stuck they don't put on snow chains to give them loads more grip. Maybe snow and sand act a little differently by surely snow chains would give you much more grip in sand. So why don't people use snow chains when off roading...

I wonder if chains for your tires would get you out of soft sand areas? A DIY traction aid idea is 2 - 4' long (2"×8"? as wide, or wider than your tires) boards (or plywood) with asphalt roofing shingles nailed to one (or both) side(s) - with a wedge/ ramp cut on one edge (to shove under your tire) ; then if you couldn't retrieve them - you're not loosing much $$, if you had to leave them behind. 👍

I've been catching up maybe 4 or 5 days now, and I was looking at the terrain and I think I would have made the same decision to go ahead with my van (I've tucked it into quite a few interesting places in the desert (Sonoran). But I also thought I would have probably gotten out and walked up a ways first, but then again sometimes spontaneity gets the best of me, lol. Nice call though, I was cheering for you and it was an even more gutsy call to go after your drone. Littering IS a big problem 😱 🙂so very glad you got there and got back. As the grandmotherly type, I hope you waited a bit to see if someone else would come by, you could flag down... but there's a risk in everything, isn't there🤔 sometimes there's a discovery that leads to a very pleasant surprise! Freedom to choose is the key! Regardless, loved the video and thanks for sharing 🙌... I've enjoyed seeing your numbers increase every time I watch a catch up video. Makes me smile. Hugs

That’s the risk with having a mobility issue like mine - I’m unable to walk ahead and scout out a road or bike trail when terrain is soft or steep. I’ve somehow survived this long! Apparently, I didn’t learn my lesson and I put my drone up again and it ended up on some rocks so I did have to flag a hiker down to grab it for me 😂😂
