You got a shovel? You can also try using some branches and pine boughs as improvised traction boards. Always the floor mat traction aid tactic as well. They’re not the best but you midaswell try it all instead of just sitting and waiting.

 

Ok, omw from goldendale. 1.25 hours to Carson. Not sure if you have comms, but I will be monitoring 146.460 on ham radio and channel 46 if you have the midland walkie talkies. If you get out by yourself, give me a call at 5092500041 and tell me to go home

 

I swear, only takes getting stuck in snow once for you to never forget a shovel again lol. The one time I tried the floormat trick I ended up with the truck still stuck and a shredded floormat.

 

Well I’m glad at least 1 person is on their way to help ya. It’d take me a couple hours to get there but I would be headed there if lobo84 wasn’t on the way. Please post back when ya made it.

 

Good luck! Curious what the scene looks like. Hopefully it's an easy recovery.

 

If you don’t get recovered, we can probably get it posted on off-road recovery as well.

 

Yeah off road recovery is

.. I'm down in slm and WA is about 2-3 hours out.

 

I made it out

 

True facts - I got stuck in about 200 yards of snow the night before the wife graduated (she was with me) and I dug from 6pm until dawn to get her to her ceremony.. we were about 5 miles south of govvy but out of cell range. Also did it using some kayak paddles we had in the car at the time.

 

Keep ended up passing by. Saved my ass him and his wife were good people

 

WOOT WOOT

Bring overnight gear next time. And a better comms plan than hoofing it out. And maybe a friend.

 

Also damnit, stop getting tacos stuck and rescued by heeps, we have a rep to uphold damnit.

 

Lol, I had made it to Carson when I got the message that you got out. Glad someone came along

 

Glad your out!

 

Now that the rescue is successful, @C41n and I are planning to head to some of the trails west of Browns Camp in Tillamook next Wednesday 5/11.

We plan to leave Sellwood area of Portland around 9 am.

If you’re interested let us know. I have a spare radio someone could borrow.

 

It's moments like that that restore some of my faith in humanity.

 

@Astr0Aar0n you still interested in this weekend? If not, or you'd prefer, we could join these guys on Wednesday instead.

 

@Lobo84 thanks brother I appreciate it.
I wish I would have known you made it out there.

 

@Adobada Tacos i work Wednesday but I’m off th-Saturday that week.

 

@chicanosoup no problem! Better to have been omw to help and have it not needed then to have someone need help and have no one show up. I am pretty sure we have all been the guy stuck in the snow/mud/ditch at one time or another.
