Recovery Techniques Book

Hi there,
Wondered if anyone could give me any suggestions for a good book on vehicle
recovery techniques. Have seen a few out there but wanted some further
advice first...

Many thanks

Dog.

Some recoveries are impossible, like the situation I got myself into
yesterday.

I could not get out of the hedge I was stuck in because a substantial bush
had wedged itself underneath the front and was acting like a wheel chock. I
could not drive over it because I would have caused even more damage and
even if I had a high lift jack, I would not have been very safe trying to
cut the wood from underneath. As it was I cut off a substantial bough but
even when sawn off it would not move. The only solution was to lift the
front end off the ground to give enough clearance while I reversed back. How
many people take mobile cranes out with them. A winch would have been
useless in the event, which would still have to.

"Manuals must be in neutral, transfer case must be in high range, diff lock
off"

IIRC this can cause damage to gearboxes on certain vehicles and in such
cases the transfer box should be in neutral also.
