Book Review: Author's comments
Summary: 5 Stars

My main target was to give people a feel and understanding of what may be involved in any situation and loads on winches and materials, what the ground could support, and so on is fairly crucial. This also involves bridging in which the scope for fatal disaster is extremely high.

The tables at the end are sufficent to enable someone to work out almost anything without a calculator, so long as paper and a pencil available. Not that I necessarily would do that but in the middle of nowhere with a vehicle up to its axles in mud or across a ravine making sure that nothing too hazardous is attempted should be common sense.

I was guided by the publishers to a certain extent who felt that it didn't need significant re-presentation. I had also produced a laminated quick reference card but this wasn't practically publishable. This is still available by special request.

I am pleased that most people have gained something constructive and hope that at least a few dangerous situations have been avoided.
