Running Wild Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thinking about the thread below about stuck in adrift I thought I would start I would start another one about equipment. There are many ways to get out and whatever works but a few of us use a Powder Jack and it works very well . There is also one called High Jacker. We also carry a folding shovel.

Viperules700 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I always get out and I use a tool called reverse and then gun it again! Works great, never needed any other tool! Long tracks reverse well, short tracks don't from my experience! Worst case scenario have to wait until someone comes along! I do carry ratchet straps too, that could be tied around a tree to ratchet you out! Never needed to use them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try that in deep snow and you dig a deeper hole ratchet straps do not work in the middle of a field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidooboy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Try that in deep snow and you dig a deeper hole ratchet straps do not work in the middle of a field exactly, mr worldly sledder has never really saw DEEP snow on a sled in his life, if he thinks reverse can save him from a stuck. sno-bungie works great. we started with the hand pull and it worked but, you did a lot of work. now we use the sled to sled bungie, and barely get off the sleds, or work up a sweat to get the sleds out. in super deep soft snow, most of the time it is easier to roll the sled over, out of the hole. it has to bee super deep and super soft, or you risk breaking the windscreen. the bungies are our goto unsticker. not us but, case in point, on 4 stroke yamahas no less.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmcSJGZGhOE more (the guy stuck did not know he needs to gas it to help get him out in this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqRHuWjobNc more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-qrh4OculA how to rattler I don't like him hooking to the ski, we prefer an arm/spindle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um2ykjAadM4 how to cobra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reGEYKsmr4I Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do carry ratchet straps too, that could be tied around a tree to ratchet you out! Never needed to use them though! The storage on my sled is fairly large and it is a 4 stroke so a bit heavy. I carry a boat trailer winch.... strap/tie it to a tree and start cranking. Never had to use it myself but have been told it works exceptionally well especially if you you have another person to steer and throttle. I have also heard of people hooking onto two other sleds in the abscence of a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravinerat Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 When in a field or out on a lake you can use a snow anchor. Basicly anything you can burry in the snow and run a strap off. Used in all sorts of applications. I've burried a knapsack and ran a line off it to pull. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
