Extrication "QUICK TIP" #45 (X MARKS THE SPOT)

It's no secret that stabilization of larger vehicles is a step up on the challenge scale when compared to typical passenger vehicles. One quick method that has worked very well for us, is using two 48" 4x4s (as shown). This method is done on both sides and provides great initial stabilization (horizontal) on wheel resting heavy trucks. It's cheap, it's easy, and it works....Now get out there and train. TMBL

This is not anything new, as it has be a tower's trick for many years. I'd suggest trying this in repeated training sessions as it doesn't work that well should a TT begin to move.
