I have been four wheeling for 15 years, and this has to be the worst book I have ever read on the subject. The techniques described in this book should not be attempted by anyone, even the most experienced! This off-road manual depicts very dangerous recovery techniques, driving habits, and more. For example, there is a picture with a man operating a winch while standing two feet away from the cable that is under heavy tension(!), and the caption warns not to let your hands get close to the drum! Overall, I was very disappointed in this manuscript!
