I've been wanting to see some testing of the pull pal in conditions other than sand. I've noticed lots of sand based recovery videos but no one testing it out in mud bog , forest road off in the ditch , trail type scenarios.
I can share a few personal anecdotes from my trail testing experience over time. In the early nineties, with one of the earlier, lighter iterations of the Pull-Pal, I did a test on a somewhat steep hardpan incline. To my surprise, the Pull-Pal shovel point broke into the hardpan only a few inches but was able to anchor soundly, enough for the winch to pull the Jeep CJ up the hill. The device was stable. Kept upright, it worked under these conditions. On another occasion, equally surprising, I witnessed a Pull-Pal and winch self-recover a Jeep stuck in snow. A Pull-Pal's physics want to drive the shovel downward and hold. As long as the downward grip will match the winch force, the device is useful. Sand and gravel are predictable recoveries...Others may have experiences to share that are similar or unique. Please share! Personally, I would not go to any remote destination without a Pull-Pal onboard.
I want to told you about my experience with the Pull Pal, as a small information to be in mind, the American vehicles (SUV and Truks) and Toyota Land cruiser, is the worst vehicles when its stucks, it's taking very heavy efforts to release it from the stuck point. I've stuck in the mud after a heavy rainy day with my Chevy Suburban, the main reason for release from the stuck after the facilitation of Allah (God) Almighty is the Pull Pal. The equipment that was used on that day is a WARN winch 9.5 XP-S spider rope, and RW14000 Pull Pal, The all things gone smoothly like the video in 15 minutes.
Pleased that you have experienced the Pull-Pal. Thanks for sharing...I saw the original device in 1989 before it went into production. I introduced the Pull-Pal to the OFF-ROAD Magazine readers when it became available. The product has been a success to this day. (The same family manufactures it.) The Pull-Pal has helped recover thousands of vehicles. I always carry a Pull-Pal when traveling to remote areas in my 4x4. With a winch and Pull-Pal, you can help yourself and others.
