- We received a message that there was a pickup truck in trouble. It was on the side of a very steep soft dune, almost into the sea.
We followed the GPS to a whatsapp location, at Khor Al udeid, the Inland Sea on the border with Saudi Arabia.
When we arrived there was no one there. We called the number that had also been sent to us.
The owners of the truck were just along the coast waiting for a call.
We positioned the cruiser to get a winch rope to the truck.
At first the Land Cruiser was being pulled forwards. We anchored it to another Land Cruiser.
Then the winch stalled, the pull was to heavy.
We rigged a snatch block to the line. This doubles the winch capacity whilst halving the line speed.
The pickup truck then came up.
because of the angle of the dune, when it reached the top, it became high centred on the ridge there.
A second vehicle with a winch came along and we connected both winches to the pickup and pulled it over the ridge. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Anyone else click because they thought it was Sylvester Stallone in the thumbnail.
I did too I thought it was Sylvester stallone😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I am surprised why nobody questioned why this person would decide to drive down an embankment that this vehicle could not possibly dive back up...WHY?
That's the first thing I thought of LOL. Like what were they even thinking.
The driver of that truck definitely isn’t the smartest driver on the roads/beach 🤦🏻♂️
And how exactly did he manage this? At what point did this guy think this was a good idea?
I’m gonna say they probably didn’t see the drop until it’s too late, when you drive in the sand dunes it gets very hard to tell where a hill turns into hard drop-off because horizon can blends in with the peak and hills. Always walk and peek over your crest for drops!
To see how deep it was
😂 wtf was he thinking my lord anyone that thinks they could get back up that bank especially in reverse isn't very bright
I imagine alcohol being envolved
@@seantaylor4533unlikely alcohol is illegal in public. You gotta have a license to buy some to take to your house.
Especially a Ram that weights like a house 😂 something this heavy will always need a tow truck on a sandy hill like that
@@BARDOCK550 Even nose down on loose gravel is bad in a pickup.
@@j.l-w9959 “unlikely alcohol is illegal in public.” lol
Dang, that's the craziest sand rescue I've ever seen. Good job guys
Thank you
@DunnMotors That's the craziest rescue you've ever seen? Have you seen two rescue videos in your whole fucking life? Or in reality you're a fucking bot and your program to say stupid shit like this.
It’s pretty amazing that nobody understands how critical it is to drop your tire psi down to 15 in these conditions
10 psi
6 psi for tires with a very stiff sidewall
Nice rescue! I'd only suggest keeping a blanket over your winch line as matter of safety. Thumbs up to the winch for not over heating.
Its a synthetic rope, no need for a rope weight.
@@kansasoutdoors5667 Can still snap though
@@Nelo390 yes it can snap, but it will just fall to the ground. It dont store energy like a steel cable, thats why you dont need a winch line weight.....
@@kansasoutdoors5667After a bit of research, some synthetic lines stretch significantly less than others, but there's no material with 0 stretch, all ropes store some amount of energy as they get loaded. Significantly more safe than a steel cable though, I agree.
@@aaaaaa-lt2tl far from a myth and theres a ton of videos on the net to proove it.
Nice! Your a good dude that guy is very fortunate that people like you who are willing to jump in and help out exist cuz he would have been watching his truck sink away!!
Can only imagine that they got surprised by the slope. Possibly in the dark? Beautiful location and nice job on the recovery.
Thank you
I really love how clear the water seems to be, with a very slight greenish tint. We do not see water like this in the Pacific Northwest section of the USA.
@@davidbeckenbaugh9598Pacific Ocean water tends to be a deep blue in general
@@MrOiram46 I agree. In general. I do most of my crab fishing around MT Vernon and the water out of the Skagit leaves the water green. Just an odd one up here.
@@davidbeckenbaugh9598
You got to visit some lakes in Washington we got this type of color in them ... Plus look up Lake Chelan in WA.. it's jaw dropping beautiful.
"Scottie I need more power!" .... "I'm given ya all she's got!"
This is what happens when novices get oversized v8 hemi!
Good job rescue team.
probably texting lol
Would be better off not spinning the wheels at all so they can just float on the sand better rather than drag the frame and axle through the sand. Nice work with the winches and community teamwork. Cheers from the USA
Thank you

В очень красивом месте он забуксовал
Boy , did that winch get a workout, I really hope that Dodge Driver offered some kind of reward for helping him out. Nicely done recovery, but probably should have had a towel or something on that winch line. Toyota to the rescue, love my 4runner
I,m sorry, but after watching the end of this video and hearing that they received some fish and a coffee, I couldn't believe it. I would hate to think if that dodge driver had called a tow truck , what would that have cost him. What a cheap prick. I know you don't do this to get something back. But at least that guy could have bought a new winch cable or something, crist,even a bottle of scotch.
Have the Ram owner buy you a new rope. That one is no good now. Good teamwork. Job well done.
The winch motor is probably cooked too!!
dont overlook the tactic of letting air out of the stuck vehicle tires. Kudos to the pickup driver - he didnt bury it up to the axles when getting stuck. Also note the winching vehicle is well back from the slope before they start. well done. just stay back from the winch line under tension please.
The video seems to be bogus. Where is the disturbance in the sand where the truck drove over the edge? The sand is nice and smooth at that point just like the rest of the edge. If the truck had gone over the edge there would have been a flat, scraped off area where the under carriage drug the sand. Where are the tire tracks going down to the truck? No tire tracks either. And lastly...at that radical slope, gravity would most likely have pulled the truck down hill into the water.
@@bradoutboard8885it’s windy, can’t you hear the wind? It blows the sand smooth again pretty quickly.
@@bradoutboard8885 y comollego alli cres que lo puso una grua no entiendo
Why didn’t you use the shovel to clear the edge before pulling this thing over it with full force?
I thought that too, sadly not until afterwards.
@@QatarSandMan haha, ok. It’s different, when you are right in the situation, for sure. But I always use the shovel first thing. Sorry for the couch comment, should not have sounded offending. Have some great holidays!✌️
Would've moved the cruiser 45° to avoid high centering, not needing a second winch and not needing to dig. Easy to say this while sitting comfortably out of the moment though. Good on you for having the resources to get the job done!
You’ve never been to the dunes
Awesome recovery. Its a steep dune and has a sudden fall to it. Municipal authorities have placed markers but inexperienced or unaware drivers just keep going straight ahead. This was the Qatari side, across the channel, you can see the Saudi side too. A beautiful sunrise spot for sure 😊
I remember being at a party where one of the guests got stuck in the mud. All the men who owned pickup truck were practically fighting each other for the chance to be the one to hook up to the stuck vehicle. It surprises me that professional recovery companies actually make money when so many people want to do it for free.
It's the same here, until it looks a bit difficult. Then they stand back. Once they see you have it in hand, all of a sudden, everyone is in charge.
@@QatarSandManheh heh, ain’t that the truth brothuh! 😂 good job! He was damn lucky you helped him! ✌️
Great job guys! But if you pulled it at a 30 degree angle when at the top it would have pulled easier
give your winch a break now and then it was probably glowing! good job!
good job guys wish I could have been there to help, gets a bit dreary here in Ohio USA this time of year, I could use some sun and sand
Fr i live in Kentucky feel ya lol
You could visit the sand dunes in Indiana or Pismo Beach or Glamis both in California.
That took a lot of skill and experience for sure.
beautiful country! beautiful Toyota's!
that truck looks like its ten hours old, along with the friends of the driver.
I don't know how I landed on this video or even why I watched it all the way through? Curiosity got me when I saw the angle of that descent past the ridge and was thinking it was impossible with that one truck and a winch. This was seriously impressive and I was genuinely nervous toward the end wishing for success (but still nervous). Very cool what you guys do. Nice work.
Thank you
That winch was impressive. Damn.
Great work! Triple winching might also be worth considering in such a situation.
It looks like a beautiful day. The colors of the water really pop with the sand color. Dodge Ram truck. You would never see this with a camel, even if the rider was drunk.
Awesome Teamwork. ❤ Thanks for your video footage
Was the hand brake off on the Ute being towed??
Surprised it worked, you’re a good man.
Great job sir❤❤❤❤❤
Great video 🙌
Great video. The guy knew what he was doing. Not a lot of people know that…
I love all these comments from guys suggesting how you could have done a better job! You were the guys on the spot. You did a great job. By the way, where are the Land Rovers?
Thank you.
There's a few current model Land Rovers around. They're very expensive here. They don't get involved in recoveries for some reason. I'm not sure the unibody construction would be up to it. There's a few series 3's they're treated as collectables, very rarely see them about. I used to have three series 3's when I lived in the UK, wish I still had them.
All in the shop
Absolutely Beautiful Place. Great Channel.Cheers From Eugene, oregon.
Thank you,
The Qatar Sand Man does it again 👏👏👏
Awesome, never seen anything like that. Driver , from now on, look where you are going!
How ever owns this truck is very lucky. And ti have a snatch block as well. Very lucky.
This is the coolest video I've seen yet in my 20 years on TH-cam
Thank you
Lots of satisfacción when you help somebody
Great video. I'm glad you were successful in savings the vehicle. Keep creating those awesome videos. This video had me on the edge of my seat.
Thank you.
Who cares why I love this video. Would love to visit Qatar very amazing people
I think it is really cool that our cousins over seas do the same fun stuff we do here in the US.
Good work boys, I think digging the top of the peak down could have helped thst problem at the end?
Great recovery
They should have let the tyres down a bit on the bakkie.
That was super impressive! I thought no way!! But you got him out of there wow.
You earned my subscription today!
Thank you.
Well done lads!
Super Teamwork 😃💯👍
you will miss that LC when you go back to your country eventually.. i would love to ship mine back to Canada but ministry of transportation there will make it tough.., will enjoy it for now in Qatar
They really are great vehicles, my familys owned landcruisers for many many years here in australia. They are workhorses that with a little (oil filter and care) last generations. I wasnt a big fan until i had been through a few Fords, GMs and other euro trash, Now id never buy anything else. Toyota or lexus for me.
Love to see the vin number on the dodge Ram probably from Canada !🔥😮
I'm guessing it happened at night?
شكرا لكم
وجميع الطيبين
👍😎💐
can winches overheat? after you pulled it 1/4 way up with so much struggle I was worrying about maybe letting it cool down
Yes, they do overheat. I think some advanced Warn winches have a setting that will shut them down when they get too hot, though you can override that with a setting. I think this winch has a continuous duty cycle of around 2 minutes.
However, I just run it till it's too hot to touch. We have air temperatures of 50°C here in the summer, so it's pretty difficult not to exceed the equipment ratings. Basically, a winch is a consumable, I go through a winch every couple of years.
this seems to be like an impossible recovery gr8 job
Nice! 💪💪💪 that was STEEP! Water looks beautiful. Just subscribed.
Thank you
@@QatarSandMan you’re welcome! 🫡
What an amazing recovery
Thanks for information
Great Job ...
Videos and photos always make it seem less steep
Good job, everyone. That's a heck of a pull up
How did this even happen- I know that they weren't going full speed because they would've veen in the sea. Or maybe they wanted to experiment or something, My final theory is that they are going around a speed where they were too late when they realized the cliff and ended up like that but idk.
No tire tracks to the edge at all in the start. Or at the start if the down hill. It was like they launched and landed on one spot before the water but no idea how not slid into it. There was no sand piled in the front down hill side of the tires either like it heald it in place. Very strange.
It's definitely a Darwin award candidate!
Toyotas to the rescue, as always. It seemed that the Ram(if it was) didn't even have a LSD or diff lock on the rear as only one rear wheel was spinning when he applied power near the top.
GOOD JOB ❤❤
Is that driver Lee Majors ?
Good winch, which brand ? Pullpower lbs. ?
Superwinch Talon 12.5 SI. 12,500 lb. It's getting on a bit now, 400 + recoveries in 4 years. It may be discontinued now. We have a Warn Zeon Platinum 12,000 lb ready to go on when this one dies. The warn seems better quality but only has half the line speed.
you did phenomenal!
Thank you
Well done to all!!
why ? thats all i want to know is why anyone would go down that sand bank why ?
It never seises to amaze me that people are so stupid… I’m mean what and the hell were they thinking?!
They were trying to get a closer look
Nothing
Have any of you actually driven in the dunes. This can happen very easily. Look at the angle rescue truck is sitting, driver would be looking at mostly sky. Not to mention at a certain time of day the sun kind of blends the dunes together. Amber sunglasses or goggles helps alot .... I'm fortunate enough to have an off road machine and live close to dunes and I see stuff like this all the time
you obviously have never been in the dunes. im sure the truck didnt realize that was the last drop to the ocean
Beautiful area. Sand to play in and clear water to swim . Just not in the truck
Good job 👍
Good job
That’s a really strong bumper
They should have dug out a ramp at the top!
What a great recovery....from new york
Thank you
I’m curious what type of winch he has installed on his Land Cruiser
Superwinch Talon 12.5 SR
Super 👍
Very surprised bumper didn't rip off
There is a hole through the bumper that gives access to a tow point, directly through a chassis member, which sits inside the bumper. There was no load on the bumper.
Why don't 10 people push from below?
good job guys. where exactly is this in Qatar?
Thank you, it's at Khor Al Udeid, the inland sea, at the most southern tip, just across the border with Saudi Arabia
Well done!!…. Nice atmosphere!!!!…. Good on you all!!! ‘Sjoukran’ for the vid!!
Thumb+subscription!!
Thank you
Impressive!
that water looks clean :)
Bloody good job.
I personally would have let the winch cool down every so often, being under such a load.
Other than that though, good stuff!
Thank you
Kinda crazy there is not tire marks behind the truck......either its been stuck so long the wind cleared off the ruts or the sand was so soft it close in behind it
Not bashing, genuinely asking, isn't it hard on the winch to winch for that long at once?
Yes, very hard. That winch has done over 400 recoveries. They generally last me a couple of years. It's much worse in the Summer, we regularly have ambient temperatures of around 50°C.
@@QatarSandMan I bet. I usually will run it for a bit then let it cool down. But I guess if you're doing it commercially, time is money, you just have to get the job done. Makes sense
@ArsonistArborist we don't do it for money, always free of charge. I've just never burnt out a winch yet. Famous last words.
@@QatarSandMan oh sorry, i thought that was your business
Buen contenido, saludos desde Ecuador. Manabi
Thank you
Cool
What capacity is your winch
12,500 lb
Needed more powerful winch good job though
que creia que despues subiria normal??
Use a pulley on the winch and 2:1 the weight . Double the winch’s power
how does that even happen
Grab around the axle next time to help the angle.
I'm surprised the owner didn't just abandon it and buy a new truck.
Air down the tires would help a lot too!
very impressive.
@18:30 Now they accidentally put it into forward instead of reverse....... Oops. (Big smile)..... Hey, I was wondering why the people did not dig out the top of the slope a bit, to ease the winch tension when the truck neared the top. Prohibited or environmentally unsound? Something else? I have had a tow much like this and we did that before starting.
OK, have now read down nearly 60 comments and found my answer. Experience counts for a lot and now you have that experience. Stay safe out there.
Nice recovery! Qatar looks like a great place to live….
Thank you, it gets some bad press, but generally it's good
