Stuck in the Sand

We have been doing some 4 wheel drive training with Follow Me 4WD  Ricky Esser took us out in the sand dunes to teach us how to drive on bush tracks. We were doing really well with both of us tackling steep and sandy tracks and getting the Navara into places where we would never have thought of going, until the long wheelbase of the Navara prevented us from getting over the top of a dune. Front left wheel and rear right wheel in the air so we went nowhere. We then got a lesson in using a snatch strap and we were on our way. Next day was dirt and rock tracks, steep tracks and creek crossing. At the end of the two days we were worn out but a lot more confidant about bush tracks. Thanks Ricky

PS Added a video of the Navara doing a steep descent with Kathy at the wheel. See Links, 4WD Training
