Guess he didn't live in the woods at the time.

Born/raised in arkansas, my dad raised me in the east texas piney woods. Only time my dad ever put our vehicles in 4x4, were at the boat ramp, and at the ranch in rocksprings.

There was the one time he pulled a 30' travel trailer with 4 cyl nissan, where he did use 4x4 to hel get it moving.

Where in the Piney woods? I was raised in the Big Thicket region of the Piney Woods? We used several times a week if it rained.

Same here, the western edge of it. Admittedly most roads we were on were paved most of the time.

I was raised 3 dirt roads back at the dead end of the third. It's still that way. County never has paved it lol.

Love those PWs.

I grew up rock crawling and trudging through the mud with various wheeled machines. My dad always said if you go somewhere that you NEED 4x4, you already screwed up.

Sounds like a wise man.... But if it's deer season....we are going in.

WHAT A MESS ! maybe twenty years ago I would play, not anymore. I avoid any mud if I can. I stuck myself a couple weeks ago shredding a fenceline, sucked ! Lots of hidden mud with all this rain.

Those industrial tires aint worth a flip for ranch work.

And he's not my buddy lol. Saw the post on San Antonio diesel's Facebook and just went to try and help out lol.

Wow, that's a really nice thing to do, man. Props to you.

Supposedly there is 11 trucks stuck now. I'm trying to get pics.

And you aren't going to go rescue them all in the power wagon and show them boys how its done?!

Reminds me of that Corb Lund song..."the chev got stuck and the ford got stuck got the chev unstuck when the dodge showed up..."

I wouldnt think with limited traction you could hurt a ball on a reciever hitch

On a tight-line pull, most likely not. But Snatch straps are designed to be used with some slack and momentum (akin to a rubber band), where the pulling truck uses its momentum and the straps stretch/recovery to help pull the stuck truck out. That's why their better than chains when the pulling vehicle is on soft ground so the pulling vehicle isn't stationary trying to get traction and digging in.

The way I saw it was I would appreciate someone helping me. So hopefully if I ever do get stuck I'll have some help lol

Hell I use 4wd to get out of my backyard... but mostly to keep from digging ruts.. One of these days I'll throw down some gravel or become a big spender and get a concrete drive put in....
