This August I took a wrong turn down a wash trying to get to the shore @ lake Powell pulling the jet skis: self rescue: Lesson learned should have listened to my gut and took the other way round and not followed the 4runners.
several years ago in Anza Borrego had to call my brother in law for rescue: Lesson learned: as soon as you hit the dirt put it in 4wd!! stuck in 2wd and could not get it to engage in 4wd
Anza Borrego: backed into our campsite for the night and the seemingly hard pack was only crust and we sunk in good. I guess the lesson learned was to spot what is hard pack
Here had to call ranger steve came the next morning to pull me out

Soo easy to be judgmental when we weren't there to witness what happened in person.
This is stuck. You don't want to bury a snowcat miles from nowhere in the middle of the night. :B
Matt might have even struggled recovering this one.

Easier to find another vehicle for help if you have the right equipment. Don't use a standard rope or tow strap as serious damage or injury is far more likely.
what surprised me was how he used the elasticity of the rope and gave it a hard jerk. I was sort of panicked when he started rolling, thinking he was going to snap the rope or pull the hitch point off. Very impressive result though.
