Really stuck at fordyce

well we headed up the hill today and were messing around, we were playing in the snow and decided we would head up to fordyce, this was a mistake cuz after we got stuck i realized my tow strap was in my other truck and my friend had taken all the winching and recovery gear out of his 4runner to get his speakers installed earlier in the day. good thing we remembered the camera . I was messing around and my friend wade tryed to go thro some fresh powder and got stuck. i tryed to get close enough with my cheapo strap that i got in a roadside kit, i ended up getting stuck trying to get him out and then we were both pretty screwed . so after being stuck for about hour and half and 2 trucks later we were out. my hitch safety hooks were bent from a guy that pulled me out with his bronco with a 460 that was awesome. although we were stuck it was a fun day, the running boards were my enemy today and I'm so happy my rock sliders are in.



I am trying to pull in to get the strap hooked up



Turns out that is powder i ramed



where wade was



wade in the powder



me flexing out before at vista point

Wait, lemme get this right ...

You didn't check for recovery gear before going snow 'wheeling?

Good thing that Bronco came along, you might still be there!

Sounds like you had fun, though - I always have a blast snow 'wheeling, even if we only make it 100yds!
