Snow Chains

Hi Rod

The Simpson sand is not an issue, it's the drivers that do not know how to drive in sand and do not use low tyre pressures that are the problem.

Those tracks look like they are rubber based and they would need the snow to keep the tyres cool , and there aint much snow in the Simpson, even in the winter.

Wrong place/ Post moved. Sri all

Do you think the pilot that landed on Lake Eyre should have had them on his little plane. Wonder what happened to him , and does he still have a pilots licence ?

Muzbry - Are you talking about the Asian doctor bloke who walked 70 kms from Lake Eyre to William Creek after he bogged his 'plane in Lake Eyre?

I'd guess he still has his licence - you need to do something seriously dangerous against air regulations to lose your licence.
Just landing on a surface that appears good - but isn't - is not against any air regulations, AFAIK.

Plus, no-one got hurt, so that's the lucky part. Hurt someone in a crash and you are certainly in for a hard time.

I wonder how you go about de-bogging these things when you do get properly stuck?
Do you pull on the Track'N'Go assemblies and risk pulling them apart?? Can't see any pull points on them.

Or do you pull on the vehicle, risk popping it out of the Track'N'Go's, and risk plopping the vehicle into more mud/snow, either side of the bog area??

Can't see where tying a log to the tracks, is going to work here!! [;-)

Cheers, Ron.
