Did this about a month after getting 33" dura tracks thought I could make it through anything. One of my worse decisions 4 hours with a shovel and a buddy with a winch I got home safe.

Alternatively with some 3' lengths of rebar, a base plate with a hook and a good hammer anything is possible!


I aways carry an entrenching tool. Should be a standard recovery tool!

This looked like it was just a thin layer of mud with water, made it another three feet and got stuck.
