I was out trying my new helmet cam, and decided to take the Disco off road a little bit:

Pardon my language...

 

Nice!

What ended up getting you stuck?

 

Looks like fun, until the stuck part

You had the CDL engaged right? How'd you get out?

 

Looks fun.

I bet you get all kinds of weird looks wearing a helmet while driving.

 

The CDL was engaged, and I was in low. I got the frame hung up in some really deep snow, and didn't have the momentum I needed to push through it. I tried digging it out, but ended up calling my buddy with a super duty to come pull me out.

I drove around town with the helmet cam on the other day, and got plenty of WTF looks.

Check out my Youtube page and you can watch the videos I made earlier that day while I was shooting.

 

that is hilarious. what camera is it?

awesome thanks for the links

 

I was under the impression that you wanted to use high gear in snow to reduce your chance of spinning out. And airing down the tires helps.

I never play in the snow without a snow shovel, a come along, multiple tow ropes, hatchet, axe, chainsaw, and some wrenches. I learned that after I hit a 4ft snow drift last year. Oh, and chains. If it weren't for those chains...

I got the frame lifted up too, I had snow packed above the oil filter. Took me a while to dig out, but I got it. Chains and the snow shovel were key. This year, even my mudders got stuck without chains.

 

A cell phone, and buddy with a Super Duty is sooo much easier though...

I do need to stock up on recovery equipment, and figure out a place to mount my Hi-Lift.
