If I had a photo everytime I was bogged in a mud hole I will need a larger hard drive...lol....I was a sucker for holes, still am but learning slowly to avoid them if I can!
Always check depth and softness with a stick and all the way through the hole too. Been fooled many times half way out when it drops.
If you are lazy like me and can't be bothered to get out of the car at least dip the front of the car in to test out...LMAO
Momentum....I would rather look like an idiot going fast then not having enough and stuck in the middle.
If it looks deep and soft, pre hook up your snatch to save getting out in the slop....One of your friends can do that...lol
2nd low is generally your best friend unless you're at Loveday being an idiot like Growler and I through a deep 20m sloppy soft hole then hit it in 3rd low and watch your car fill up with mud and your radiator and alternator clog. I felt the wallet emptying every second I was stuck there!!!
