Use of MAXTRAX boards other than recovery

[Dimitri_Raptis]

I used my MAXTRAX board to stabilise my roof top tent ladder and stop it from sinking in the sand.

Have you ever used your recovery boards for other reasons rather than recovery? Please post them here.

I've definitely used my traction boards to level my truck. More than I have had to use them for actual recovery. lol

Haven't actually yet, but I intend on using my cheaper boards on the ground at the doors to my squaredrop camper. Upside down.

Kind of recovery, but I’ve had to use them under my front tires when winching someone else to keep my truck from sliding

Only had to use them once but was grateful to have them as I was stack in a ditch in the snow and was with my kids without signal. My wife kept asking me till then why did I purchase them?

This is very clever, never thought about it.

Nice.

I've used them to level my Van, as a platform stand on for my outside shower and a wind deflector for my stove while beach camping at Assateague Island

If you have one in a bright color, they make for a great tool to grab your attention or act as a reminder, certainly a very expensive sticky note but sometimes having an excuse to use some gear is worth it!

I buy most of my gear in bright orange. My traction boards, life vest, kayak paddles, dry bag, ground tent, etc. all orange.

Definitely a good move, I try to get bright colors for safety and it’s much harder to lose!
