I agree. Never go off road alone. On both ocasions when I've got stuck, I've been helped by a slitty.Don't be so sure... I've towed a few who took their gaylanders "off road" (read as "the grassy bit next to the car park at the school fete"), I even towed the Mad Hat Man's slitty on a lane he later described as "not freelander friendly", even though his X Trail did everything apart from one tiny section without assistance.
I'd never say you can't take it off road... but taking it off road without a mate with a real Land Rover to come and rescue you is a fools game
Well there you go! Common ground then. Of course most of that ground is bordered by the premise that slitty rescues gaylander whereas real landy rescues slitty, but that's ok.I agree. Never go off road alone. On both ocasions when I've got stuck, I've been helped by a slitty.
Same problem I have. I carry 2x 30 foot recovery ropes with me. Just incase the recovery vehicle can't get close enough to my Freelander. If there's a slitty about, I only need one rope. And there's no chance it'll snap in half due to rust either. The slitty that is. Although the same could be said for me Freelander.
That dun't apply if yer heaters up to the job. And yer door seals actually seal.Yes, they do say the first thing you should do when stranded is to light a fire...good point.

The water don't get in in the first place. Helps if yer can float across too.
