Got my old Patrol stuck in the mud. First time since I bought it three years ago. A soft spot in the much allowed my machine to sink in up to the bottom of the door. I assume everyone has heard that mud sucking vacuum sound?

I had to march out of the bush and hunt for a recovery vehicle in a little village. Luckily a guy had a brand new front end loader that pulled it out. And luckily I was only about 2km back from the main road.

I had a shovel and I could easily push it down into the mud about 3 feet with little resistance.

Do I get a merit badge for getting it stuck or getting it unstuck?
