Anyone have Bill Burke's "Getting unstuck" DVD?

http://bb4wa.com/products/DVD.htm

Two hour video.
If you have it, do you like it?
I am willing to almost wager that Rob has it.
s a 2-hour multi-dimensional DVD that covers all elements of a safe
smooth vehicle extraction. From stuck assessment to proper use of the
Hi-Lift Jack, recovery strap and winches, Getting UNStuck teaches you
what you need to know for self-recovery. Bill Burke takes the mystery
out of Getting UNStuck with classroom quality demonstrations.

●12 demonstrations on how to get unstuck
●15 technical demonstrations
●15 useful tools for off-highway use

Bill demonstrates and explains:
Winches, Winch Accessory Kits, Synthetic Winch Ropes,
Pulley Blocks, Tree Straps, Recovery Straps, Chain,
D Shackles, Gloves, Hi-Lift Jack, Jack Base, Accessories,
JackMate, Pull-Pal, Winch Bumpers, Max Tool
Click on DVD cover for a 23 second clip.
Looks like this one would be good for educational training.

Watched about 3/4th today, it is great!

Lotta good tips on using a Hi-Lift as a winch, good stuff to know, even though the rig has a winch.

A few other tricks such as never tighten your shackle pin all the way.
Tighten it, then back it off 1/4th turn or so.
It is slightly loose that way, but I am not one to question the master

Bill Burke has some very awesome advice in this video.

Just ran across a vid on Bill's site, looks like it was from a a class he was teaching to a bunch of FJ Cruiser owners.

I think it would be cool to take a class from him.

Actually OFRD_GRL has it ... she "borrowed" it and hasn't ever given it back. Maybe that's why she moved out here, so it would be more convenient. LOL

Pretty good video, but parts of it move REALLY slow ...

Yeah when you told me to make a recovery video Corey - I thought I might just slap my name on Bill's video and call it good.

Now I gotta go get it back from Una!
