Turned into Hills Excavating having to rescue me :lmao:

I got it stuck around 9pm last night....and it was pulled from earth's grasp about noon today. The entire evening was spent digging with sticks to no prevail :ohwell:
To the person who will be nameless i sincerely thank you for trying to pull me out with your blazer.....only to get stuck yourself :huggy:
If EVER you need ANYTHING I will be in your debt
Now..for lessons learned..
1...NEVER wheel alone
2...bring supplies (i was starving to death and almost died of thirst)
3...bring equipment (several "walking" trips a half mile+ to the main road to get tow straps come-alongs')
4...buy a dayum winch, (perfectly good trees only several yards away just begging to help)

Believe it or now the beast did remarkably well in wooded terrain overcoming steep inclines as well as vertical/horizontal flexing, although it aint worth a bucket of eyeballs when you back into a knee deep+ marsh

My sentiments exactly!!!! My brother used to pull people out for tuition money on the OBX, and was always willing to pull real trucks and suvs out for $40. For those, it was $200 minimum! Oh, and Jersey plates- he always charged double. He would earn $1K a weekend!

Man...what a day! The power lines, as I remember are loaded with sink holes and bog. Good points to remember though. I keep a back pack loaded with supplies, water, food a medical kit...one you could do surgery with, firearm:), enough for a good week. Some places out here...reminds me of Deliverance minus the mountains.
I have been approached before with "Hey Mista'...what you doin way out 'ere, you know whos land 'dis is?"...and they always look the same, hahaha. I can't tell you how many times I have found poachers up in trees, miles from nowhere and they don't take kindly to huge white lenses:(

Glad you got out of there in one piece Echo! Now...go get some tires with some LUGS on 'em! Woohoo! Thanks for sharing...good stuff!

Those pictures don't justify the situation you where in. POSTED NO TRESSPASING. Where are those pictures of the S-10 Blazer coming to get you out with 4 wheel drive that didn't work and got stuck from running off the road and into the creek. I saw the Carnage and I just can't believe you have never done drugs in your life. That was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

:stupid:
