I am familiar with several ways of being stuck... Georgia clay that when wet is like slime... Pennsylvania Mud, black and soupy with a clay base if you get too deep... Kentucky mud which is brown and think...... Saudi sepka, as close to quick sand as i have ever seen, swallow a tank to the turrent is you miss the tell tale signs.... Iraqi mud pits where all the top soil collects and hides the water and will bury a hummer to its windows...

The most stuck I have ever seen is in Saudi when a hummer broke thru the top of a sepka and sank to the door handles. no other wheeled vehicles could pull it out ( 5 ton and 10 ton wrecker never budged it) brought in a M88 tank recovery vehicle and it pulled the tow pindle and frame cross member completly off. Ended up having a Chinook Heavy lift helo lift on it and an M88 pulled the front tow hooks... which brought it out. Thank is my standard for stuck.
