Stop getting car stuck in sand

Gents, after reading a few posts on people getting stuck, I'd like to advise a couple tips. I've been riding/camping in Glamis Sand Dunes and Pismo Beach Sand for over 15 years. The most important thing to do before you hit the sand is air your tires down to almost flat 10-15psi on ALL 4 tires. Same principle as why the wheeleez work so well.... is floatation. By creating a larger contact patch on all tires you can get out of many situations. If you do get stuck, stop accelerating as once you get stuck your stuck and no amount of pinning it will get you undone, but make matters worse.. dig out and air down all 4 tires. Keep momentum going once you hit the sand coming and going try not to stop unless absolutely necessary. Go buy a decent 12v tire pump (not a Harbor Freight cheapy) Better pumps will get you aired up in 5-8 mins and your on the road. Hope this helps
