Been stuck many times in remote central Florida soft sand... best points of this video. 1. when you feel you are getting stuck do not spin, just STOP and get out. 2. deflate tires 3. The advice on rocking back and forward (without spinning) to harden the ground! I have also found it valuable if you have access to water and debris wet the dig and fill it with debris (I have tones of pine cones where I am and they work great. But nothing like the peace of mind that comes with planning, letting somebody know where you will be and being ready with recovery gear, emergency supplies, charged tools and even provisions to last you a few nights... oh and never panic, if it get's dark, set camp and crack open a beer.
Dude this happened to me a few years back. I was driving through sand in the California desert and came across an old shack I wanted to check out. Got out and looked around for 4-5 minutes and when I came back MY TRUCK HAD SUNK TO THE AXLES LOL. No biggie I’ll dig it out... nope. My son had pulled out my short shovel to play with a few days earlier. Had to dig the whole thing out using nothing but a tiny piece of brittle stucco from one of the walls. Took FOREVER LoL Great video. Made my laugh so hard when you said, “ now you can’t get upset because it’s your fault you’re in this situation”. Those were my thoughts exactly.
"You can’t get upset because it’s your fault"? I don't know, I find that swearing makes me feel better. After a minute or so of cursing, take a few deep breaths, have a drink of water, cool down and get on with it. It worked for me, especially as the two times I got seriously bogged were 100% my fault.
I just want to say thank you, I only watched this video about 4 weeks ago, just before I went on a road trip. About a week ago in cape range national park I got severely stuck on the beach, it then occurred to me that I had no recovery gear and the tide was rising fast. Remembered back to this video and it definitely saved my arse and my car, I am definitely ordering a big windscreen sticker to show my appreciation. You are an absolute legend. P.S I absolutely love your videos and have got my brother interested in them too.
Yup. They've probably never put any effort like you in educating someone. Only criticism. Hell, they'd probably dislike being helped get unstuck and given cash to buy recovery gear and a brain transplant! 🤣
@@newport5504 Yeah there are few youtube videos showing just that sad scenario...the only bright side is the vehicles are creating new reefs for sea creatures to call home.
Unloading the vehicle helps a lot.You can also make the sand more compact by pouring water on it(bucket or a bottle filled from the sea).Great video,loved the fact that you actually dig the whole thing out by hands and log!
One of the best things to do if u get bogged in sand is to fill a bucket with beach water and pour it around your tires. 2x4 ratchet strapped to the tires works too.
Titanium Quarrion that defeats the purpose of this video. Straps and a bucket might be more common in utes, whereas many mightn’t have max tracks, tire deflator or a shovel.
david c smith i was stuck in my 4x4 Nissan Titan on the estuary of San José del Cabo, it took me the whole day to dig me out, and like 12 people and 3 different 4x4 trucks to pull me over. Now I drive with recovery gear always.
Wish I watched this before getting stuck in soft sand on a wide Murray river beach we had never planned to drive on. Hadn't planned to go off road so had nothing to get us out. The old prado was stuck just like this but on a 30 degree left to right slope so couldn't pitch the roof top tent. Slept on the sand overnight and worked out I'd have to do exactly what you showed on the vid. Used my hands to totally clear the undercarriage, made a sand ramp to reverse out, dropped tyre pressure and emptied the car of all the camping gear to lighten it. Reversed straight out after all that and saved ourselves a grand quoted by some bloke to come get us out. Only extra I did was try and lighten the car by emptying it. It was refreshing though to watch this and think yeah we did the right thing! Great vid mate as can guarantee from experience it works.
The advice when he says do not be tempted to try to get out too soon is spot on! You may only get one shot at driving out so you need to have everything in your favour.
Super helpful video and hats off for spending half your day covered in sand just to help the rest of us. Don't even bother with comments from the peanut gallery that can't work out what this vid is for or only watched bits of it. Was very lucky not to be bogged with no recovery gear recently, the old girl just kept going, but now I'll be more confident if the luck runs out and might even try my own test.
Fantastic video good dedication to showing people what they need to do in that situation. Not many people would actually dig the car out with their bare hands like you did when they actually had the gear available great job. I was actually in the same situation recently and it sucked.
I just watched your video this morning and headed to Oceana Dunes at Pismo Beach in California. A Silverado got stuck in the sand with no recovery gear. I did have a pair of traction board's and another did as well, but your advice on seeing daylight under the vehicle helped out big time, thanks!
Great video mate! I also enjoyed your enthusiasm and sense of humour! Too often I've seen people lose the plot and make everyone unhappy when they get themselves stuck. Good work and good tips - thank you!
Excellent video Michael. More 4wd enthusiasts should start with radio controlled cars like rock crawlers to learn the basics of 4W driving. All the recovery gear in the world won’t help a cowboy with a lead foot and an air head!
There was one other thing you could of done. That wood you found if you lashed it to the tire so the length of the stick was side to side of your car, as you drive the stick acts a bigger foot print for the car and lifts it out of the sand. I have used that a couple of time when I have been really stuck.
♥Many Years later... Happy New Year 2024 Michael! Your videos still warm my heart and soul many years later. I especially like watching you in the in the warm Australian sun when it is cold winter in the USA. ♥
Outstanding video! I recently got into this situation but, without your sense of humor. Would'a been handy though. Thanks for all your hard work to produce it!
I had to do this when I ran across a patch of sleet in the wood's. This was in the spring, so it was unusual to have any deep snow especially sleet left. I was about 4 miles in the woods bogged to the chassis. No one had been through yet that spring. Lucky for me I had a small shovel so that saved me a ton of time. I will remember to bring a bigger shovel and air down for the future. Great tips, thanks for the video.
I was visiting my new land property in central Florida and there was sand/gravel road. Very undeveloped area not to mention I was bobtailing in my tractor. Found this video and hoping This knowledge will help. Def will think twice coming out here in my bobtail till the roads are finished. 😢 wish me luck y’all cause I cannot afford a wrecker atm
10 years ago i was in same situation,after 2 trucks trying to pull me out for and hour with no sucess i figure out this method ,with a friend start digging with bare hands like crazy for 30 min and was out so easy that i was hitting my head for not think about this before.
Hi. This is a great video and presentation. Full of great information for a beginner like me. Much appreciated. Even my wife is now happy to have a go at beach driving! Keith
😂 It's funny, I have waited a whole year for somebody to comment on that! I was thinking the same thing when I was watching it back. Thanks so much for the comment, made my day!
Good video, I always get myself stuck due to bad tyres, unfortunately never on sand but in mud. I think the key in my situation is, don't get stuck in the first place.
Oh man! That brings back memories. Many moons ago...about 1987...I stuck a US Army Dodge Power Wagon in the mud bog; very similar to what you have in this situation. I did managed to borrow a short shovel and a bumper jack. Took me three hours to get myself out just like you described. Alabama mud and a couple of ant beds did not make it any easier.
Great stuff. I cut my teeth on the beaches in WA (Geraldton and Margs) and out in the desert (Warburton) and it was only today I was explaining to a young guy that was bogged on Blacksmiths Beach the exact same method (Even did it with the Car Advice guys when they bogged their test Prado in front of us! They didn't know about it.) Back in the early 80's there was none of the fancy recovery gear or RUclips vids so we were fast learners and this was a method we worked out with trial, error, bogging and swearing! Excellent vid.
That reminds me how hard it was before winches and Maxtrax. Carpet branches and a lot of digging back then. Good video though. I have all the same gear and also a sand anchor to winch off.
Another tip branches, seaweed etc can be placed under your tyres. Never been bogged on the beach, but many times in the mud. Jack it up find something to put under your tyres
Good advice with tyre pressure on beach drive. Took my little CR-V for first time in Samurai Nudist Beach and put the pressure down to 15psi. No issue at all. Just the ground clearance is a bit of a nerve wracking
I like to hit the beach with about 20lbs and drive as far as it will go on that. When it starts to bog down I will drop to 16lbs and continue. It if it starts to bog down on 16lbs I would drop to 12lbs and start to consider if it will get softer and whether I should go back the way I came. If you go down close to your minimum you might not have much in reserve to get out which is a concern if on a narrow beach with a tide coming in. The other advantage is that I find that often I can get along without going down to a very low pressure and it saves me having to spend so long pumping the tires back up. Not sure if that is a good strategy but thought I would share it as it always has worked for me.
Because I saw this video last week. Today I got my ranger in a sticky situation (at night) in the sand, but could get out from it. Thanks for the video. Appreciate it mate!! The 129 dislikes were done by selfish morons who do not appreciate the value of helping others with some useful knowledge and experience.
When I was taught to ride on sand I was always taught to count slowly on the first tire and then when it to the pressure you want go to the other and deflate them to the same count. Your tires will all be at approximately the same pressure if they were the same pressure to start.
Happened to a friend in a Nissan Safari except he was beyond the high tide line. He ran out of time, car was submerged till you only saw its roof above water. They were able to drag it out the next day but it was pretty much toast.
Good work. You have a sensible handle on presentation and on the practical process for somebody on the favourable end of the age timeline. I note it seems you are using the footbrake as a trap technique with an automatic transmission. An added technique which is helpful is to back off power as soon as the wheels roll against the sand ramps at the ends of the packdown you have started. You trap the car on the sand ramps with the brakes rather than let it roll back onto the packdown. Hold on the brakes firmly as you change gear. Gently power up then release the brakes. There is a tiny downhill which helpfully adds to motion you can use when you extend the packed down wheeltracks. When mining under the vehicle make plenty of space for yourself and clear the centre first before mining out the wheels. If the sand slumps from under a wheel, the vehicle may settle on top of you. Front-wheel drive cars are also responsive to this technique. Rear wheel drive cars, less so because of the lighter proportional weight over the driving wheels and big heavy engines over the front wheels pushing them in deep.
Another good tip: after you dig out and air down, go fetch some water and dump it around the tires. It will harden up the sand a bit and make the rocking part quicker.
Good video, exactly right about the digging. Same applies in soft snow, except it's a damn sigh colder doing the digging part. The only thing I would add, when you try to move the truck initially, use as little power as you can get away with to make it move, less risk of spinning a wheel and making it dig back in. Also, if you drive on sand a lot, get sand tyres; mud terrain pattern are way too aggressive :)
Also good to get out of the car and suss the kind of sand you're going to get into. We used to use hire cars on the beach in the UK. They were fine if you kept your foot down, keeping up momentum through soft spots, and we generally kept to the wet line along the shore where it's much easier going
Seems like a lot of people have forgotten the good ol way of just digging yourself out. I never go out exploring without at least a shovel. My trusty shovel has come in handy a couple of times.
Tip: put something under the wheels to get traction brush, planks etc. So surprised that on Yukon Gold it never occured to them when stuck to put something under the wheels to get lose.
Great video. I'd hate to be stuck on such a beautiful beach listening to the waves. I've been off roading for a long time and learned a few things for you.
I know you said no tools but I use a small gardening spade (don't know if that's what you guys call it) for digging under cars in snow to winch them out. Better then using your hands when a big shovel won't fit under the vehicle. Police made fun of it once when I was pulling a car out of the ditch. "They won't buy you a real shovel?" I told him "leave my shovel alone cause it's fucking awsome!"
Me - city driver with no soft sandy beaches to drive on anywhere. RUclips at 2 am - how to get yourself out of a bogged beach......anyways I learned something. Thanks!
First thing in sand, keep up the momentum. Don't kick the acelerator, if you find yourself slowing down, stop before you bog and down the tyres a bit. Saves an exhausting recovery.
Recently was on some heavy sand and ahead of my car was a Volvo s40 stuck solid on the beach. After I discovered his pressure was 3 bars I wanted to leave him for being an idiot. But we eventually got him out after deflating and using tow ropes.
![[Limbus Company - Teaser] Season5 - Oblivion](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8anKuEeZLeI/mqdefault.jpg)
This guy just got bogged on purpose just to show us how to get out, what a lad 🙏🏽
Do you know if his cars a diesel or gas?
Aaron Brumback Its a diesel 👍
Good tutorial, but I think he must have left out a step. The tires are so clean in his last attempt as if some editing took place.
The modern Steve Erwin, on sand! hahaha
unnecessarlly deeply, thats the part.

Yup. Always be sure you have a piece of stucco to dig out with.
Even if it’s your fault, it’s always best to release a few F bombs to relieve the pressure 🤣🇦🇺

I’m actually surprised how well just digging works and that it only took an hour WITHOUT a shovel
This may have just cured my fear of beach driving
Won’t beat ya fear if the tides coming in quick
@@newport5504 Yeah there are few youtube videos showing just that sad scenario...the only bright side is the vehicles are creating new reefs for sea creatures to call home.
"Go for the berries!" Pure gold!

Everyone who off-roads should watch this great video! Snow, sand, or mud, this is exactly how it’s done.
I appreciate the time you put into this! The extra camera angles really help tell the story!
One of the best things to do if u get bogged in sand is to fill a bucket with beach water and pour it around your tires.
2x4 ratchet strapped to the tires works too.
Buckets of Sea of Cortez have got me out of a lot of Dry sand in BCS
In my 98 Sienna.!
Here's a common sense tip - rather than taking buckets, ratchet straps and 2x4s why not just take a tyre deflator, maxtrax and a shovel?
Titanium Quarrion that defeats the purpose of this video. Straps and a bucket might be more common in utes, whereas many mightn’t have max tracks, tire deflator or a shovel.

Wow, look at that coastline, you guys are soooo lucky!!
didn't find you till this week. one of my faves now!

Great vid mate. You can cut up an old milk crate for recovery tracks. IF you have one on board, Works awesome!
Thanks for going through all that trouble to give us a lesson. Now I know what to do.
I love it when he said ‘ if you got yourself in this situation, its your own fault’

When I was taught to ride on sand I was always taught to count slowly on the first tire and then when it to the pressure you want go to the other and deflate them to the same count. Your tires will all be at approximately the same pressure if they were the same pressure to start.
Happened to a friend in a Nissan Safari except he was beyond the high tide line. He ran out of time, car was submerged till you only saw its roof above water. They were able to drag it out the next day but it was pretty much toast.

This works like a dream, I did this many time in the Namib desert 45 years ago
Good work bloke. That method is the very same I teach. (4X4 off road driver instructor 10 years)
Another good tip: after you dig out and air down, go fetch some water and dump it around the tires. It will harden up the sand a bit and make the rocking part quicker.

“ give it the berries” brilliant, mate.
"Give it the berries and just get out"
Great video - good info for the folks that don’t have a lot of experience in the sand.
Lol look at the back tire on second attempt, goes from covered in sand to nice and clean..... great video 😂
Also good to get out of the car and suss the kind of sand you're going to get into. We used to use hire cars on the beach in the UK. They were fine if you kept your foot down, keeping up momentum through soft spots, and we generally kept to the wet line along the shore where it's much easier going
Very useful and entertaining. Thank you.
No way. Never thought to dig myself out before. That is genius.
Thx for sharing very helpful video cheers from Tampa fl USA
Got stuck the other day my friends wanted me to just keep 🙃 gassing it.... thanks for the tips.
A rule of thumb I use for deflating tires is about 3 seconds per 1 PSI. Once you get to lower PSI, it's more like 3.5-4 seconds per 1 PSI
Great video, like your humble approach and honest approach.
Great video mate but it looks soo easy watching
It’s damm hard work when you consider the elements
Thanks for sharing your ideas

Better then using your hands when a big shovel won't fit under the vehicle. Police made fun of it once when I was pulling a car out of the ditch. "They won't buy you a real shovel?" I told him "leave my shovel alone cause it's fucking awsome!"
Me - city driver with no soft sandy beaches to drive on anywhere. RUclips at 2 am - how to get yourself out of a bogged beach......anyways I learned something. Thanks!
Lots of work to help others out, nicely done.
First thing in sand, keep up the momentum. Don't kick the acelerator, if you find yourself slowing down, stop before you bog and down the tyres a bit. Saves an exhausting recovery.
Where did you get that shovel? It looks like a keeper. Great channel.
Great information mate. do you think you would do the same video but in Mud/swamp? Cheers!
Recently was on some heavy sand and ahead of my car was a Volvo s40 stuck solid on the beach. After I discovered his pressure was 3 bars I wanted to leave him for being an idiot. But we eventually got him out after deflating and using tow ropes.
Well done👏. Love your videos.
The only dude happy to get bogged hahaha nice video
Thank you so much! I mistakenly drove into a sandy wash thinking it was a road.
Love your videos love your attitude please keep it up. Cheers
If you have floor mats you can use those as a sort of maxtracks ...
Awesome info for a beginner jeeper like me. Thx mate
