Spent the day on exercise with the local 4x4 response team. 'Rescuing' a scout group trapped in Danbury woods by fallen trees.
Fortunately the fallen trees were real so we got to play with winches. Also had to move move a car, all so the emergency services could get access to the 'victims'. and then we transported the casualties to the rescue station.
All in all, a bit of a grin, but also a chance to practice with Red Cross and the ham operators.
From initial assessment of situation, moving obstacles and getting medics in, about an hour and a half. It would have been quicker, but we were swapping out teams, so everyone could have a go at participating.

I couldn't get vid last week, but I used my come-along to pull a stuck F350 off a log by pulling the log sideways a bit then wrapping a chain around the tire and log so it cinched itself over the log and drove away. The other guys spent almost 12 hours trying to get it loose before I got there.
