US West Boz's Blunder: Vehicle Recovery in Hunter-Liggett Area

SWLands said:
Not an expert, but I have used my gear. Depending I could see vehicles linked to make a strong recovery point, so an extra vehicle might help. The snatch block can make a pulley system for extra heft. Also - haven\'t seen Hunter Liggett since 1981. Good excuse for a quick peek.
12\" chainsaw
Warn winch
30 ft tow strap
tree saver
2 shackles
2 soft shackles
snatch block
4 boards

I won't be up for any hiking. I hurt an Achilles tendon and it is mending well as I have been resting it since the Black Rock trip and don't want to hurt it again - I have a bunch of trips planned in July through September. I am just starting to exercise on it again with easy walks.

But I have a truck, gear, comms.

Is the '35.88115, -121.31863 is the farthest in you can drive.' the same location as the berms?

Stephen, it sounds like steep uneven, off camber, loose ground terrain. We can use your inputs/wisdom, but please be careful. I recovered from Achilles on both ankles and I know how painful it is and how long it takes to recover.

Hi Mathew, I’d like to try and get there to help; I can assist with comms and spotting etc. I’d be coming from the south though.. any chance I can join the convoy south? What would your approximate eta in Jolon be?
Click to expand...

We'd love to have the help! Let's aim for 7:30am at Jolon. Stay on 146.460 and we'll sync up as we get close. Not familiar with Jolon - but maybe meet at 65500 Jolon Rd, Jolon, CA 93928 - St. Luke's Episcopal Church parking lot?

Hey Mathew. I am sorry; I’m unable to change my work commitments. So I can’t make it… I’ll be cheering you and the team on. Drink lots of water and above all have a smooth and safe recovery!

I would absolutely help you out, unfortunately can't move my work hours. Good luck and if for any reason the truck doesn't come out I am available on Sunday.
