When an off-road journey is blocked by a small river, or when rescue operations need to cross flowing waters, wading becomes a variable technical challenge. Clear river water may hide soft riverbeds, smooth pebbles, or unexpected deep pits, while flowing water exerts invisible lateral forces on vehicles and rescue equipment. Properly handling water rescue is an important advancement in off-road experience.

Use a snow shovel to remove snow from at least two meters in front and behind the tires until they touch solid ground or ice. If the snow is deep, it is necessary to clear a sufficiently long "running" passage. Insert the anti-skid or snow track at a slight angle in front of the tire to create an attachment point for starting. If the chassis touches snow and causes bottoming, it is necessary to first use a monkey climbing pole or an inflatable jack to lift the vehicle body, and then lay and compact snow blocks, tree branches, or special pads under the chassis.

When the wheels get stuck in snow and the car body spins helplessly on the ice, snow rescue becomes a special challenge in a race against low temperatures, slippery conditions, and time. The world covered in ice and snow may seem peaceful, but it hides more complex rescue challenges than mud - extremely low friction coefficients, difficult to determine hidden obstacles, and the dual test of equipment and human body caused by severe cold.
