I don't see any tire chains or tow straps in there Lloyd.
Several years ago, a work buddy and I went Spring Gobbler hunting at a spot I had never hunted. I was driving, and Al told me where to slow down to turn onto a logging road to get back in close to where we would set up. It had rained a lot the past few days. As I turned off the dirt road onto the logging road, my headlights shined on the surface, which was covered with water. I stopped. It literally looked like I was driving into a trout stream. I said, "I dunno Al... that looks awfully juicy."
Al said, "Don't worry about it, this logging road has a good solid base. We can go in about 1/2 mile to the log skidder turn-around." Well OK then, I hit it and got about 200 yards off the road before my truck was buried in mud. I turned to Al and said, "Good solid base my ass." Then it started raining again. We spent from 0:dark-thirty until noon working with a shovel, 2 ton chain come-a-long, tow straps, tire chains, etc. until we finally got on solid enough ground to get out. We were both soaked and covered in mud. We did no turkey hunting that day. And we both learned a universal truth... the best time to install tire chains is BEFORE you get stuck, not after you are buried in mud.
