    This poor Werner guy got stuck next to me. If he won't get out on his own, I'll offer him my chains if he washes them afterwards. So what would you do in his place? IMG_20160224_223501.jpg

    I'd try my snow chains first. Then figure if I sit their long enough,.. I'll be in the way of someone who needs to get out and ask him if he cold yank me out.

    If none of that worked,.. well,.. I guess pay a wrecker.

    I've got enough common sense not to park in a mud pit during a storm.

    Sometimes no possible, or at least not known...
    Once I parked in a lot, in between two other trucks, but with several inches of snow on the ground. After all the snow melted in the morning, comes to find out I was in a mud lot. I got out, but it's fairly easy to get stuck if one hasn't been to the truck stop before.

    Lock the diff if its needed. Rock and rock and rock. It would come out.
    Or just spin the wheels until the ground dries. haha
