    A tip from a guy that spent 20yr's on Puget Sound working with Danforth anchors. A 100lb anchor is good enough to hold a 100ft barge in 4ft swells with a real flat draw in 40knot wind. Completely bury the anchor in the sand or dirt, get the flutes buried completely. Leave the chain out or lock it in some boulders, hook a short loop choker to a block your looking at close to10 tons of hold. There is zero you will be able rescue of that weight. with your rigs to loose it. That anchor will fit in the back, or use 2 smaller ones in v shaped set. This is for a tail hold or a side pull block. Good luck on your adventures in recovery

    I think someone is having an issue with deception. He needs to figure out the width of his vehicle. Just staying as far to the high side as he can get would have prevented him from rolling it and the other sliding-off-the-edge incident he had. lol.
    My advice to everyone driving trails you don't know very well is to get out and take a look when you come across a narrow area. Just pull up to it and get out and walk past it and look back at your tire width to see where you need to place your tires. And when it's a sandy area like that, make sure your tires are as far away from the edge as you can possibly get them even if you have to run over some rocks or brush, and if the edge is really soft and you can't get far enough from it, then turn around because the edge can/will collapse as it looks like it did here. Glad he and his dog weren't hurt.

    Great job on that recovery! Matt will be proud of all of you for all that work. I must admit that watching someone put their hand under that big rock did give me the willies. I can just imagine what was living under there! I think I have been living in the desert a little too long! Great work guys!!

    Funny story: I was in a recovery class at Overland Expo. The trainers ask "What's the first thing you should do?" I respond "Make sure it's in park." They actually had to have someone go check if it was in park or not. It wasn't. It could have rolled down the hill when it was flipped back on it's wheels.

    You should stock all the jeeps with battery powered air compressors. That way you can air up and down on the go. Milwaukee has a few different size ones. We use the normal size one with a 12ah for our trucks and skid steers and it works like a charm

      My son's Toyoata pickup went over an enbankment, rolled 3 time and then hit a tree just behind the cab while on it's side. Sat that way overnight. We rolled it back on it's tires, daisy changed 3 Ford Super duties together in a row and pulled him back up. Pulled the plugs, cranked it a couple times to blow the oil out, stated it up and he drove it home. Jeeps aren't the only thing you can roll back over and drive home.
