Not What I Had Planned

Well, I didn't plan on getting stuck. Note that this is also my first time being stuck in the mud, so I don’t really know what I’m doing. I guess I learned my lesson to be more prepared. Last video I built the winch bumper, but being low on time, I went out to get some footage in the mud instead of testing my winch first. I thought I’d just drive through a few puddles and look cool but then I got giddy and forgot that some puddles may be too deep for an open-diff 4x4 with bald tires. Thankfully I had some friends to help me out. And now, I've got a working winch, so I can go try and get stuck again.
