Winching
Guide
Vehicle Off Trail
If a vehicle leaves the trail and becomes stuck, often the most effective way to return the
vehicle to the road is using an angled pull since this pulls the vehicle most directly onto the
trail. Find a suitable anchor on the opposite side of the trail to attach a snatch block to, and
perform the recovery.
Pay special attention to the danger zone, since it is much larger than a straight line pull.
