Off Road Driving

Working in the Wild New Edition A popular book just because of the subtitle! Everything you need to know before setting out on safari. While covering many of the usual offroad things such as winching, recovery, and driving techniques, it has several unusually useful sections, including how to set up a workshop, how altitude affects humans and vehicles, how much water humans need in the desert, even the international air distress code! Basic expedition repairs include how to set up a field repair facility. It's just a hoot to have lying around, and it would be very difficult to get this much good stuff from one source! Paperback, about 170 pages. SMR684MI

 

Driving Techniques Another older paperback in reprint, this is a handy thing to leave in the truck. It provides a quick outline reference for basic off road situations. It has good basic info on the more common situations, but vehicle specific information is limited to early US Range Rovers back to Series. A handy thing to keep on board. Driving Techniques LR369

 

Winching in Safety Another older reprint, this one is a thorough explanation of the how's and why's of winching. It covers capstan and drum winches, vehicle recovery techniques as well as trail clearing and other uses. It's very good on care and selection of ropes and wire, plus techniques for using anchors. If you have a winch this would be a good thing to carry in the truck with you. Paperback, 100 pages. Winching in Safety SMR699MI
