Land Rover Defender creek crossing recovery

During an attempt to cross a creek while returning from Cape Melville National Park on Cape York, Australia, I get bogged and must recover my 200tdi Land Rover Defender 110 Station Wagon using a Magnum hand winch.

A hand winch is an invaluable tool while travelling in remote areas, especially when travelling alone like myself. Filmed in POV style.

Hello brett, youcan get electric winches from super cheap auto for about $500 now, so that should help for next time

@yehudiadelphos1 Hey mate! Already got me a $500 winch... Just need some time to modify the bull bar to take one! :-)

Arb Bull bars are pretty good for teh defenders

Why not an electric winch? They really arent that expensive anymore, and certainly look a lot more fun than that!

You look the same as me; you actually get excited when things like this happen instead of pissed off!
