Land Anchor recovery of a Toyota Land Cruiser stuck on the beach in the Qatar desert.

We were driving along the beach near Sealine on the Arabian Gulf. It was low tide and we had no problem on the firm sand near the water.
Usually we have to vehicles, but were on our own this time.
We saw a sand spit stretching out into the gulf and decided that it would be a good place to take a break.
As we turned around to go back, we travelled further up the beach onto soft sand.
As we had slowed down and had the steering on almost full lock, we lost momentum and bogged.
We immediately came off the gas so that we would not bury it completely.
When we have two vehicle, we usually hook the winch up to the other vehicle and pull out whichever one is stuck.
On occasions such as this, or when we get both vehicles stuck, we carry a folding ground/sand anchor.
It takes a few minutes, but it has got us out of trouble a few times.

Pretty cool.

I always thought that thing was a gimmick. Turns out It does actually work. Is it better than sand boards in your opinion?

[@QatarSandMan]

It really does work, it has got us out of trouble a few times when we've been out on our own. I don't have sand boards. But I've seen them used. They are ok if the sand is a little firm maybe damp, but on the really soft stuff, they just sink under the wheel. In this video below we had to pull up a dune around 70 metres to get out. Hot day, single vehicle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmW6nWporK2DeLs

@@hksshafiei291 Hi, it's just a generic 3/8" synthetic winch rope, I have bought from different suppliers on Amazon. I replace it quite often, every 6 months or so.
