Wow, that guy is better at backing up than more people are driving forward!

[@afineandpleasantmisery8500]

A similar thing happened to me. These wet planted pine forests were once cypress forests. I got hung up an an ancient cypress stump. we did not know it and pulled it with everything we had but it would not budge. We dug all around and found the stump, jacked up the truck and cut some of it out with a chainsaw. The saw was half in the water and it kept dying. We would dry it out and cut some more. After 2 days of digging and cutting we were finally able to pull it out.

Funny. I can recover just about anything with a 30 foot stretch recovery strap, been using them for 20 years. That's a 5 minute job.

@@oneslave3318 I see, in other words your experience voids his experience. So when the ancient cypress stump sees you coming it submerges itself deeper in the mud releasing the stuck truck out of respect for you and your 30 foot recovery strap. It must be AWESOME being you.

And that's why so many people blow there motor or get bogged to the frame use your brains instead of brute force the faster your tires spin the less traction you have

[@jeepdude7359]

Anyone who has ever had a little fun off-road knows there is a fine line between the fun and sinking it to the frame. I’ve had to be rescued on a few occasions, and have rescued others. It’s just part of the game.

[@1sh1kll91]

This happened to me many years ago, but it was a cross tie someone had used in the bog to gain traction. My K5 pushed it sideways perpendicular when I went in the bog. High centered on it for 3 days. Blew the motor and transmission among other things.

That Jeep does really well for its size and equipment. I would suggest a removable A frame for the front and/or back bumper, if possible to brace it, with a snatch block at the apex, about hood high, or higher. Also, having a 40 inch, or so, tractor rim to put under the cable, close to the vehicle being pulled out, so as to lift it some would help. This truck was hung up on an old tree root, or rock, or something foreign buried in the mud. Nice job.

I got stuck on a well once, you could spin all four tires with your hands, was in about 3 foot of water. Took a four wheel drive farming tractor to get me off it and out.

[@eldridge201]

*EDIT* (I was only seeing the first part of the winching when they first hooked up as I typed my comment. I see they ended up using the 2 to 1 (snatch block setup) that I suggested in my comments after watching more of the video.) * Hey man, I would suggest you get yourself a snatch block and use it to multiply your pulling power when pulling out vehicles in these types of situatuions. This essentially doubles your winch's pulling capacity. Although it requires longer winch line or using somethIng else to attach to the winch line, it would help a lot. Also, you should put a blanket or winch cable cover or "winch damper" over your winch cable to try to prevent or at least minimize the possibility of your winch cable snapping back at you and knocking you out or killing you. I can see it wasn't "that stuck" so maybe you weren't putting that much stress on your winch but better to be safe than sorry when things are stuck in the mud. Sometimes they are "sucked" into the mud so you need that extra pulling power.

[@FL.AirBoater]

I'm sure this whole thing could have been avoided, Had he known these 3 tricks... 1:Engage the parking brake ½ to ⅔(this tricks the rear differential into thinking that you have full posi!). 2: Know when to stop digging yourself in. 3: Once you've dug yourself in get out remove the built-up lips that have formed from The tires trying too hard and perform step 1 in Whichever direction you're going to escape in. I learned these tricks playing in the sand in the river Bottoms around Barstow,CA. I have since learned that it works in any type of terrain NOT just sand! DON'T FORGET Once you get out Disengage the parking brake! When you're having fun in the wilderness, If you pack it in with you, pack it out with you. Let's keep Wilderness areas as wilderness for our future generations And try staying on the trails! Have fun and enjoy pass these tips on they work.
