For those of you who were at the Summit we had an opportunity to see Chris from the trail team do a seminar on vehicle recover. I missed part of the first one and all of the second one due to being out on the trail. So I posed the question to him if he would put on video. I vaguely remember him saying something along the lines of if there was enough interest he would consider it. So here is the thread to see if we can get him to put his seminar on video!!! And for those of you that have not had an opportunity to see Chris in action, he is a really great trainer. If you are new to driving off road this seminar is a MUST see for the basics of safe vehicle recovery.
Items covered at his seminar:
A. High lift jack
I. proper use and safety
II. Lift at the tires
III. Lift from the slider
IV. Use as a winch
V. Additional accessories and their use
B. Proper Winch technique
I. General Winch use and safety
II. Use of a tree strap and winch technique
III. Hand signals
IV. Multi-line and multi-anchor
V. Yes, more safety hints
C. Safe use of the snatch strap
I. Snatch strap vs. Tow strap (dynamic vs. Static pull)
II. Safety in the use of equipment
III. Understanding loads and how to pick out the correctly rated equipment for the FJ.
IV. Proper technique for use of the strap
V. And yes more safety
If there was anything I forgot let me know. The seminar was great and everyone learned something. If you think you would be interested in learning from the best help me pester (er persuade) Chris into putting this seminar on film.
