Fun, offroading turned bad.

[3Hummer]

Well lets see today i was doing some offroading after it poured, some hills this that, and some water fording. well anyway i see one knew hill which ive never seen before, so i have my friend jump out and spot me going up it. well four tries later i get it up it, i was soo happy i stopped, (my stupid mistake that got me into the mess, and first mistake). Well now i started freaking out, how am i supposed to get out of here, and i was super scared cause this is my first car ever. I run to the nearby wakeboarding facilty got some ropes, cuase i had no ropes or anything (my second mistake) My frends old jeep had no place to hook it on so we had there huge diesel 5.7L subarban come to pull me out. Then, my friends and there dad come over and his dad helps and spots me down cuase there was a huge freakin tree. And there was a whole huge crowd watching us cause in south florida, no ones ever seen a hummer do what its supposed to. Anyway after like 20 minutes we got my car off pheww. I was soo happy, espiaclly cuase there was no damage the car was sitting on the side step, and just the front wheels were stuck, no damage done, i was sooo glad. Have a few videos and pictures that my friend took, as soon as he emials me ill put em up!!!

in a shorter version, i got stuck on a freakin huge hill, in the rain, and had to have a subarban come pull me out. I dont know where my friends at and cant get through to him, pics to come soon i promise.

i see. i hate wheeling alone, always gota take the safe route as to escape things like this. could a winch have helped in this case? im thinking of putting one on so i can wheel alone more freely.

[3Hummer]

thanks heavens i wasnt really "alone" and no winch would have helped whether it have been rear mountaed or front mounted.

Go find some jeepers (on line forum etc) go out with them and learn how to use your rig. If you look at my video (pure Hummer edit) you really can't see some jeepers in the background. I got my training from GM so lucky me but you need to ease into it and buy some basic recovery equipment.

[usetosellhummer]

Oh and I know how you feel, I got major lost and had to ask some rv riders. they treated me like i was way out when I was only a quarter mile away from the trail head:crying:

do you really have huge hills in florida?

[dеiтайожни]

Yea, called speedbumps.

[3Hummer]

do you really have huge hills in florida?

ha no but suprinsgly in this one county park theres a fair share of huge hills. after Hurricane Wilma they took out tons and tons of and tons and tons of trees and tons were blown over, and i guess those mounds and dirt brought up by gradually grew and turned into some bigger hills. i dont know how to explain it but there are some fairly good iszed hills in this park

Well, that sounds very scary! Once you calmed down, did you refresh yourself with some quiche and a sweet Mojito?

Try driving into a lake, crawling over some annoying chick in the way of the only open window, and running home, drying off, and sobering up before the cops arrive. Now, that?s scary, but manly.
