I have to say that IF I had been there and employed the tips that I have learnt, that I would have been extremely unpopular.  :-[

Best tip ever is - When in doubt break out the billy and make a cup of tea. This allows time for the best decision making.  :laugh:

Can you imagine the Arabic reception to that little strategy?

I don't think "hold my beer and watch this" would go down real well either. ;D ;D ;D

I have to disagree with this comment... Those tyres do not look to be lowered, and reducing the tyre pressure is the cardinal rule of driving in sand. Lowering tyre pressure will help in mud and rock also.

Should have been more clear. Yes they should have already lowered their tyre pressure before driving in the sand as always. What I meant lowering the pressure in the already buried vehicles wouldn't have made a difference due to the way they were stuck.

What they needed were a bunch of long handled shovels
