Hi John, I actually work for the Off Road Attribute Team at Land Rover at Gaydon and I am looking at which of the systems really do work in these extreme conditions. IE:- when you are on your own with no support vehicle to pull you out and you have no other way to get out, than use the land anchor systems that are available. But my question is" Do they really work in the Dry loose snow and loose wind blown Sand and pull a fully laden vehicle out of an axle deep position ?. I am looking for anybody who has the experience of using these things in anger and found that they work or they do'nt. I am looking for the failures and the successes when using the anchors that people buy and use when they are serious 4x4 and they have to rely on the equipment that is around them at the time to get them out of a problem. So I am asking for peoples opinions and views based on experience of use of this equipment, useing this forum is the best way of accessing a lot of people from all over at once. Regards Brian

Hi, I'm researching the Sand and Snow anchors that 4X4 vehicles use in very extreme conditions IE:- Snow {the loose powder Snow) that does not form a snow ball because it to cold and dry. Sand,(the very loose wind blown desert sand). I have looked at the "plough style" and peg Style and I am looking for people who have had the successes and the failures with this style of equipment, but which really does work in Snow and Sand with a fully laden expedition 4x4 on the end of the winch rope, I would like to hear your comments from you. Regards Brian
