Nissan 4x4 club - 21 April - Recovery training

[Herrie]

Ons het baie goeie opleiding by Glyn Demmer gekry!

[ChristoSlang]

Thanks Glyn & everyone else who made it possible!

PS: I think a hand winch is more suited to a Jimny than a Patrol

[Alex Roux]

Thanks Glyn

[Theuhan]

Dit was n lekker dag, en goed om weer almal te sien.

Glyn could we please have a more practical day, I will give my car so we can get propper stuck.

[Grant]

Great Day,


Agree with Theuhan -Practical training on all equipment including High lift jack

[Herrie]

Glyn het verduidelik wat die veiligheidsreels is:

Hoekom jy handskoene nodig het.

Watter tipe graaf jy moet gebruik - afhangende van die tipe grond waar in jy vas sit.

Watter "bow-shackles" jy moet gebruik - afhangende watter gewig jou voertuig is en die gewig van die voertuig wat jy moet uit sleep.

Wat die geldige herwinings punte op jou voertuig is.

Wat die regte kinetiese band is - lengte en gewig sertifiseering vir jou voertuig, hoe om dit skoon te maak indien dit vol sand of modder is, moet dit nie in die son laat lê om droog te word nie - UV sal dit beskadig!, hoe lank dit gaan vat vir die lengte om te herstel na die oorspronklike lengte.

Hoe om die wenas te gebruik om die voertuig te herwin of met 'n ander voertuig of met 'n boom naby of 'n ander ankerpunt. Hy het ook die hand-wenas gebruik vir ons verduidelik en ons het dit prakties getoets ook.

Can the guys that attended please explain to me - if i look at the pics it looks like when you were winching the patrol with the handwinch they used the "loop" on the rear bumper as the recovery point ?

I seem to recall a few posts and even some on here where it was expressed that this is in fact not a recovery point ? Has this since changed or is the original posts to be disregarded ?

Please guys i dont ask to stirr , i was unable to attend and have been using mine as a recovery point but have been told and read it on several occasions that this is not safe so would like the newly trained's opinion

[Herrie]

The towball was the one with the pin that you can use as a recovery point but it was fitted with galvanized bolts that is not strong enough for recovery - that is why we had to use a different procedure!

[Grootseun]

Thanx Kobus , so if a i am correct the Loop is still not the official recovery point ?

I was told albeit by a guy that trains for Jeep that one should never use any form of recovery point in the centre of vehicle but one that is directly inline with your chassis or then use a link that joins both the recovery points that are inline with the chassis to one central point , any opinions on this
