honestly, none of this stuff works like they say it does. bought a pair last year, tried to use them and it was a total waste. maybe it’s just me, but I found them to be pretty useless.

In reply to TrailSnob. Sure, RookieRider. It's all about angling them just right and not relying on too much gas. Go slow, let the boards grab. Works for me every time!

Reading about digging out your car with these boards makes me miss the days when getting stuck just meant a good story to tell later, now it’s all about who has the fanciest boards to get them out the quickest.

So you’re telling me, instead of calling AAA, I gotta do manual labor and shove boards under my wheels? Next you’ll tell me I gotta change my own tires or something wild like that.

Sometimes I just like to lay the boards out and pretend they are a ladder to an alien spaceship. Not sure if they work for interstellar travel but hey, for mud and sand, they’re pretty solid.

I read through your steps on using recovery boards, Paul Clayton, and I gotta say, I disagree somewhat with the method of using them. In my experience, setting them up slightly differently yields better results. Maybe it’s just me?

While the concept of using recovery boards is beneficial, I wonder if the production process of these boards is environmentally friendly. It’s an aspect worth considering for those of us who enjoy nature and want to preserve it.

yo I’ve been using traction boards for years, they’ve saved me more times than i can count. totally worth the investment if you ask me especially if you’re into off-roading in crazy places like i am.

has anyone really used these recovery boards in snow? do they work as well as they say or is it just a bunch of marketing hype? i’m genuinely curious cuz i’m thinking of getting a set before winter hits.
