And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box to get yourself home.
I watched a guy pull a truck out of the mud at Lake Meade, he had a LONG cable in the back of his pickup. He needed a LONG cable to be able to do it from solid ground...that was a few years back.
I'm guessing that cable is part of a mounted winch. I carry chains & a couple of tow straps, nothing as long as that cable but I don't do that kind of driving !
the joys of off roading is often offset by the joys of off roading. I find myself using a different mode of transportation when the object is to just get where I need to be at. like a helicopter. this young fella has his act together. well done!
Using the old "deadman" method!"
ReplyDeleteI’ve done that before. It works, but a pull pal works better
