It´s still/again winter over here (-10°C/14F). On my way home, I wanted to use a shortcut on a farmers road what my GPS said suppose to be a regular street.

Too bad I slid into the trench between that "street" and that field.


D´oh


I got stuck into that mud. My wheels were just spinning...

...and even that Pajero 4WD couldn´t tow me out.

That guy called a nearby farmer with his 4WD tractor to "rescue" me

Make sure you send the final bill for everything to the GPS manufacturer. Even in the middle of August, I'm not too sure about that route. Doesn't look like a fun way to come back from any trip.

Recommend Gerber vehicle safety kit. Definitely could have dug yourself out. Hatchet makes quick work.

I have that folding shovel in my trunk and used it to dug me out. The problem was that too much mud, causing no grip and made the wheels spinning...

That did not go well...

I would also like comment on how impressed I am that you managed to drive on that path in that condition with a WHITE vehicle and still manage to have it looking like it is fresh out of a car wash. Does it have some new space age mud repellent coating or something?

Should have seen it after the recovery...
