It's harder if you also have a fat bastard behind the wheel.

And even more under ideal conditions. Straight vectors on the revovery points, for example.
I remember a saying "Buying traction boards means to check out and test a dozen of them and finally buy Maxtrax."A recent US take on the best traction boards:

I’ve now got a set of 4 maxtrax but with my defender I had a set of reinforced aluminium sand /bridging ladders. They were brilliant ,there only downside was the weight

For decades, sand ladders were undoubtedly a good choice. But Jean is right: the Maxtrax' are probably the best you can get in the range of lightweight substitutes that take up little space.
Yes I sold them with the Defender as a ready to go expedition vehicle. I purchased them direct from the company in Hungary so no middle man.They look very nice.
Did you sell them?
I had some recycled lengths of old, original steel PSP, recovered off Salisbury Plain. Did me proud for many years.
To be honest, I don't have any experience with sand ladders or maxtracs, although, once in Tunisia around 1994 I got really stuck in the desert in a hole in the Sahara dunes in the south, but after half an hour I got out, after unloading the car and a lot of yoyo attempts. Sand ladders would have helped me indeed.Yes I sold them with the Defender as a ready to go expedition vehicle. I purchased them direct from the company in Hungary so no middle man.
we had a near miss years ago with a steel sand mat spat out of the back of a vehicle Into a guys chest. Luckily a big bloke and no lasting damage , me being shorter, i would have been decapitated
Agreed . My wife also ends doing most of the sand track recovery so easier for her. My home made sand matts made from three BFG track edge side walls bolted to two tread lengths x 2 of were
Everyone always comes to the conclusion that Maxtrax are the best, they just are.A recent US take on the best traction boards:
