Great (but giant cringe-fest) video.Good video of a normal day at Pismo. With it going to be 100F+ in the valley it going to be a zoo and packed with cars. All these people have no clue that Pismo Beach is the cheapest place to camp on the coast. Its more of an offroad park. I hope the OP knows what he is getting into(people and crowd).
Lots of lessons there in what NOT to do.
Kudos for the dude in the '79 for helping them out when lots of others passed them on by.
It was almost too late.
Lots of illustrations there on what not to do when recovering also.
At the time you kinda have to do what you have to do to get them out of danger, but so much fumbling around in that video.
A good illustration why you should familiarize yourself with some gear and techniques before you have to use them. And that goes far beyond just recovery. It can cover changing out the tires with the factory jack and lots of other things you don't plan on but end up having to face at the most inopportune moments.
And this is typical, sadly.
When you DO have to recover/help someone, all of a sudden all of these people who could have helped are suddenly there, critiquing, second-guessing, offering advice while you are figuring out the best way to fix a broken situation.
Sometimes the advice is good, but often times everyone who stops to "help" is a recovery expert with bad advice.
Anyhow, the video is a great example in how things can go south quickly on the beach (or in any off-pavement situation), and how scary it is one that tide starts rolling in or the sun starts getting low/temps start dropping.
