8:11 this is my drive to work. I stopped at the brow of that hill down to Two Bridges as someone was trying to get up it in a RWD transit flatbed. Needless to say he didn’t manage it.
13:51 that’s where I eventually passed the transit once he gave up, there was also a red car and a food delivery van so I thought you might be towing one of those out. I went through around 9 on Thursday before it was plowed.
Amazing views of Bellever, was walking down that road a few weeks ago, such a transformation. Would love to be able to get up where you can in this weather 🤣
Was out around Oakhampton on one of the ambulance service's defender, carnage on the A30! No other vehicle managed to get anywhere near the defenders out and about, sometimes it just needs a bit of adverse weather to remind everyone of their capabilities. When winching, let the winch do the work. Introducing power to the rescued vehicle shock loads the line massively (potentially surpassing the load limit) and it loses it's effectiveness. Also, your manufacturer will state how many 'wraps' on the drum the winch should have for best performance and torque, ours for instance is 12 meaning the recovery vehicle is often some way from the stranded vehicle. Introducing simple anchor and pulley wheels and returning the hook back to your vehicle gives you simple 2:1 mechanical advantage, giving your winch a nicer time!
Was up on the moor today too, stunning around Princetown, I did help someone who was stuck. It doesn’t happen very often so have to grab the fun when you can. Loved the video
That's how I decend our steep track in Scotland when it snows low first foot hovering over excelarator peddle, definitely don't want to touch the brakes
As soon as there is a bit of snow, the child in us awakens and we have to go out and play in the snow - big boys, big toys 😜. Luckily in Austria it is easier for us to find snow, but unfortunately it is also harder to find roads that you are legally allowed to drive on 😩. Without wanting to be a smartass, a little tip: if you get stuck like Sam, i.e. with one wheel or one side in a ditch or rut, it is often better, to just let the other vehicle pull you out or using a winch, without accelerating yourself. As you can see in the video, as soon as the wheels spin they lose grip and the car slides back into the ditch. This rule actually applies whenever you get stuck on a sloping surface, whether in snow or mud.
It's funny that Sam said its going to test your recovery skills followed by him driving himself back into the ditch milliseconds before the winch was about to pull him free
Had a watch of a few videos and think i will subscribe. Nice one.
That looked like fun! We were lucky enough to get some snow here too ☃
Yeah it was a good day out! Have you taken the jimny out in it? :)
@@BorisTheDefender Yep, it's been great in these conditions :)
Great video . Keep them coming like see what you get up to in for Landry . When winching make sure you have a winch blanket to put over the winch.
Thanks will do
Brilliant ! Thanks for sharing. Were sorted, we’re gripped… let’s go off road ! Love it.
Quality vid. Easily this is 200-300k subs ❤
So kind mate!! Thank you 👍

Haha brilliant! Yeah I wish we had gone up slightly earlier and been able to help everyone!

It’s brilliant isn’t it! Such a different feeling in the snow.
All he had to do was let the winch do the work 😂
Yeah good to learn from your mistakes. It was both of us.
@ ah mate it’s easy for all of us to sit here and call it out from the couch. No judgement and a great video!

Curious as to why you used low box in the ice and snow? I was always taught to use as high a gear as possible on snow and ice.
It was a steep downhill decent, I was using engine braking for traction rather than brakes.

Great video, what camera were you using for the stills? thanks
First of white stuff that's it out come the 4x4 crew, marvellous.
Haha very true!
Great video, just wondering what camera you use for the photos, they came out great👍
That’s a leica Q, I’m liking it so far :)

Ah great tip, thank you. I did spot that when editing! Thanks!
Great vid, what winch do you use?
Thank you mate! It’s a warrior t1000 from ORE
What camera do you use for recording out the front?
That’s a GoPro 11

Haha yeah true. But I did tell him to drive. Also he was joking
shame you couldnt tow me out as i went off the road not far away from princtown in the tavistock plymouth location in my fiat panda 4x4 lol
Oh no way! Haha I would have too!!
