Solutions For Parking On Grass

General consensus; are these grip mats used just when you get stuck or do you park on them as a precaution?
I’ve got a set and they look very flexible.
 
I bought something similar to these when we got the ramps. Never used them but they sit in the van just in case using 0 space

I've also ordered some of these.

Despite @davecdjt's promise of sunshine at Bala ;), I don't want to make a show of myself and get stuck on the wet grass! o_O
 
I dont park on them but there mounted on my bonnet with magnetic pins just incase I get stuck (Maxxtracks copies)...... like tomorrow when I'm heading to Wales for a week and its done nothing but rain up until today and due to continue this week. Yes................... im on a grass pitch too :think smile bounce:

Also came back in here to ask this! We’ve got a set of the yellow ones under the RIB bed at all times but haven’t had to use them yet (fingers crossed!).

Don’t think we can be towed because of our body kit if we ever get stuck

We have never used them as never needed to use them, this may be because it’s so crap off road I’ve never got far enough off road to get stuck in wet conditions.
 
They look like basic nylon or polypropylene rope, not very strong. Consider making your own using Dyneema or similar. Go to your local chandlery and buy some off-cuts, or roll ends. Use this guide to splicing

Button knots and Diamond knots are discussed here and here
wow - thats well above my skill set.

very interesting

Sounds like a good reason to go back to standard to me. Presumably that might also mean that you couldn't be recovered after a breakdown.

@EAN I suspect they're an emergency only thing and a bit too lightweight to park on them for any length of time.
