I was Googling and dropped on this video which I just had to watch. :ohmy:

So I thought I would ask as I wondered what you regular mudpluggers would do to get out of the situation he is in at about 2 minutes into the vid. I find it frustrating but I don't do that sort of thing (wading) so I am not one to pass comment.

There's not a lot you could do other than what he did and try to get as much momentum as you can.

I think the smart thing to do would be to not get into such a situation in the first place. I mean mud plugging on slicks is never a good idea!

I think I might have been hopeless if I tried it. :blush: Why didn't he reverse back on to the other side where he drove in the beginning? :unsure:

His biggest problem was trying to get out over the steep bit of slope it was killing the momentum if he had come at a slightly tighter angle more in line with the other ramp in and gone for the flatter exit I doubt it would have failed, but the video would have been a lot shorter.
