4x4 Action Group

... went to the FWDC Open Day yesterday
Very good turn-out numbers-wise there
and the lowlands next to spruit
pretty much full of campers.

Was posted as 'Boot Sale Day' but only limited
nos Trading their Wares as such.
Bought these:
' Boer Makin Plan ' Traction Matts
which I may loan out to stranded Toyotas etc
(R25 per bog-hole extraction ?)

... bit bulky and not sure how much traction
in muddy clay , Black Cotton Seed stuff etc
R100 for the pair w heavy canvas bag.

Ive looked at MaxTrax types etc
but most owners say theirs are Virgin or broken
after first encounter !!!

Night shift

What is the stuff being used for ?

Used similar ones on the farm. Tie a piece of rope to the one end and the other to the bumper/towbar and you don't have to walk back to fetch your recovery tracks.

Worked great in sand. Did it's job in mud but can get very slipper. You can weave a small chain through them to help with that.

PITA to pack, but definitely value for money compared to branded recovery tracks

I do at least one dune trip a year. Have done many Namib and West Coast sand trips. Never ever had to use any form of traction mat or Maxtrax.
You don`t get stuck with tyres at 0.6bar
