"How to" videos

This section as you know by now is for the safe operation of your rig while taking it off road.

Whether how to use a Hi-Lift jack properly, (keep the hand holding the jack out of the handles way in case the handle slips) using a winch safely, to using recovery straps.

If you have any safety tips or vids, post 'em up here in this thread.

I am a safety focal at work over the crew I support, so safety is always at the forefront of my mind.

I have a YouTube account for the forum here that I can host vids at if you can get them to me, or if you have a YouTube account to host them at that would be great too.

I have a copy of Bill Burke's "Getting UNStuck". It's pretty good - goes over the equipment, how to use a recovery strap, winching with the HiLift, using an electric winch, and some other things. A little slow, but great info.

This doesn't qualify as "safe", but it is an improvised way to "seat the bead" (of your tire) while offroad.

http://www.break.com/index/interesti...ir-method.html

I did this in the military with 4000lb multiterrain forklift tires. These bigger balloon tires don't play nice when you try to get the bead started with traditional hook-up-the-air-compressor method.
