This video demonstrates from the cab how to execute pulling another 4x4 vehicle out of the snow using a tow strap.  You are not able to see the tow strap from the angle of the camera but that is better (for me) in terms of safety.  If it were to break, it is not likely to strike you, because you cannot see it.  A tow strap breaking under thousands of pounds of tension can unleash significant bodily harm and even death.

Mark had a pintle hook type hitch.  We secured the looped ends of the tow strap to his pintle hook and locked it down securing the tow strap loops in place.   I placed the other end on my driver side front tow hook.  

My first attempt at pulling him out din't help because of a poor angle.  I had to move over towards the fence a couple of feet more to get a better angle without risking getting stuck myself.  We coupled the better angle together with Mark getting a rolling start and two helpers pushing from the front.

Good times!  Be safe everyone and stay clear when pulling out another vehicle.  Use communication to signal when to stop.  You'll hear I use my horn to signal Mark to stop.

Equipment that I primarily use in my filming:
- This was filmed with a GoPro Hero4 Black in 4k video format: http://amzn.to/2n07lmm
- Using the Gorillapod Magnetic Tripod: http://amzn.to/1TwCCYT
- GoPro Cosmos Standard Frame Mount Housing: http://amzn.to/2n05v4Y
- Bestlight USB Port 20 LED Ring Shooting Night Flash Light for GoPro Hero4: http://amzn.to/2mZZhC9

- The Cosmos open frame case allowed the GoPro Hero4 to capture the audio using the built-in microphone.
- The Bestlight LED Ring allowed for better lighting in an otherwise dark condition. The Bestlight LED Ring was powered by a Splash USB battery power source.
- The Gorillapod Magnetic Tripod allowed me to capture the video from different positions by attaching the tripod with the magnets or using the articulated legs.
