One of the most important off-road driving techniques is "starting in gear".

Rather than stepping on clutch and brake, starting up your engine, engaging 1st gear, releasing the brake and carefully letting the clutch out - there is a much safer way to get you started when the vehicle is in a challenging off-road situation:

Assuming you are in 1st gear low range (or reverse, low range) - step on the gas three times (not needed with fuel injection vehicles) - turn the ignition key and you are moving. Surprisingly simple.

Works in all cars with 4WD low range.

Here is how it looks like:

As well as you start in gear by simply turning your ignition key - you can stop your truck by turning the key off. A very safe method in challenging environments. You'll learn more about it during the event.
