I'm not sure if this has been posted before.

I think I've pretty much mastered most of these techniques lol.

One that isn't mentioned is when stuck straight up hill, get under the front of your sled and lift the front with your legs.

Then holding it with one leg, you can kick snow under the track with your leg.

When you cannot roll it over, reef it over as far as possible to one side. Then pack snow under the track. Reef it over as far as you can the opposite direction and pack snow under the track.. one or two times then drive it out.

I've been favoring the pin and wiggle. It works about 5% of the time.

I prefer the push with legs, then tackle and push over downhill maneuver.

Sit under your sled, get your feet under the a-arms and lift.

That's the nice thing about a hand built climber. I only get stuck when I **** up.

I see where Zac's Traks is passing out loops of mule tape at their avalanche courses. They are about 4' in circumference and gives you a 2' advantage on a ski pull. They work great and you can carry them in a pocket. Years ago, I was introduced to a serpentine belt that was used as a ski puller. It is about 8' in circumference and gives you a 4' advantage on a ski pull. I store mine in the glove box and it is very readily available. A little boot stomping or some shovel work and a couple of 6-8" pulls to put the track on a little more solid snow and then pop the sled out of the snow with a "pin-it". This little idea also works for two guys to pull on each side (i.e.. if you have to lift the back end for some reason, loop this through the bumper and each guy takes an end and allows two guys to lift.

No more problems with where to store the big cumbersome Bunjie, with where to hook it when the hook doesn't fit, and with spending the $100. Used serpentine belts are a dime a dozen at any auto repair shop.

I you tubed it. Looks like you need a good angle and deep snow for that move. I'll have to try it out.
