    Aren't both rear axles drives? Wrong tire specs? No diff locks? Is a live front axle needed? Is the truck overloaded for terrain conditions? Weird offset Mack DM cab.These folks south of the border should go back to driving burros and llamas.

    American logging trucks seldom get stuck. They are properly equipped for the off-road job. Now American wheeled military vehicles in the soupy field. I've been there and done that...no fun. Was an army recovery operator.

    The point is there is a truck going nowhere fast.

    Poor people have poor ways. They could very well be hand logging and don’t have a piece of equipment big enough to pull the truck. There’s no way to tell from the video how steep it actually is. He’s trying to navigate an uphill switchback. If the truck had full lockers there’s no way he could make that corner in ground that soft.

    The driver has more skill than most drivers up here. Notice how he stops once he spins out? Most idiot wheel holders would pin it and spin the tires until best case scenario they're in a giant hole. Or worst case they tear a driveshaft or diff apart.

    How we do this in Canuckistan:
