A quick pick of last weekend's trip to Glasshouse in which i am pretty much stuck. Later that same day i came very close to tipping it on its side in a big rutt. A very scarey moment in which i learned that if it doesn't look right it probably isnt.
Great dat out all the same though.

Hey Nick, looked at the photo and thought that is does not look that bad, but once you see it enlarged you can see why you got stuck mate, great photo by the way.

All I can say is "good lad"!!!! You're having a go and should be proud of your efforts. If you aren't getting stuck (calculated though) then how are you supposed to learn?? It's the unfortunate truth of what we do.

Can't wait to get out for a wheel again mate!!!

I go 4wding and really don't want to get stuck like that, but then you wonder if you don't get stuck like that is it really that challenging? Fine line!

Getting stuck like that is only a problem if you are out by yourself and don't have the right recovery equipment. The benefit of going 4WDing in a group is you can have a go at the more adventurous stuff and challenge yourself to stretch your capabillites knowing that if you do get stuck you have people with you who are more than willing to help you get out again.

I agree, I'm setup with a winch and recovery gear so going solo I should be able to get myself out of the poop most of the time.
Still feel like getting stuck you've lost. Not that it is a competition but you know ya mates are going to give you a good ribbing about it :) It's all good though as it goes both ways.

One thing I have learnt is dont go by yourself. A fellow Patrol to get you out of a sticky situation can never hurt.

Exactly right, by myself ill turn away from harder stuff if i can, but in a group, ive learn't so much by attacking things i probly shouldn't, having back up to assist in advice or a tow, gives much more freedom to push the boundaries just a little.
