Default Worst you've ever gotten stuck

My worst time getting stuck was in a deep snow drift rather then mud. I was traveling along a snowmoble trail when I seen these nice big drifts so I decided to check it out to see if it was hard enough to drive on. It was so I went drive on them and it was going fairly good for a while until one wheel decide to break through. Well I tried to back out but it was just in a little too deep and it cause the other wheels to spin and also break through. Well I was screwed. Snow was up to my fenders. Lucky I had a small portable shovel so I had to dig through 2 1/2 feet of snow and make a trail for about 3 meters to make it to a flat area where I could drive out again. My winch was powering out and my friends quad was just spinning out trying to pull me out. We were to far away from anyone with a tractor to help pull. That was not fun. I sure had my work out that day trying to get out of that snow drift.

I just recovered from my worst stuck to date.

The mud was bottomless and when i realized i wouldnt make it all the way across this feild i went to turn around and sunk. I had to purchase 250 feet of strap to connect my winch to the closest object.

Whew...... But i got it back!

WARN!!!!!

WOW! 250 ft of strap...buuuummer. Maybe a "mud hook/anchor" would have worked? They gotta make those or similar.

i dont have the worst, but prolly the funniest.

we were goin to this pavillion, and u had to cut across a slightly muddy field to get to it. at first there was a stock f-150, a slammed cehvy 1500, and a 4 runner. all had street tires. the chevy leaves first, he makes it out fine, the 4 runner next, its out fine. the f-150 is the only one that managed to get stuck. so we called a dude and he came with his lwb z71 and yanked the f-150 out. 10 minutes later a chevy malibu makes it through the same spot.

we kinda rubbed that in his face for a while.

I got stuck in the river bottom after it had rained, took a corner to fast and put it into a slide and sunk it in 2 feet of mud. took 3 people and 2 quads to get it out

After the snow started falling this year me and my friend were ripping around and i saw this field, so i hit it at 6th gear WOT, well i made it out to about the middle, lost momentum, and was stuck in 2-3 feet of powder snow, that was a long a$$ push back to where i could get some traction.

ive never beem stuck to bad, but ik one things for sure, quads can only follow snowmobiles so far, i got stuck one day out in the snow last year and i was there for a few hours, took forever to dig myself out. It was funny but no more following the tracks, never know when u'll hit a soft spot
