First day -stuck in mud - redneck rescue

[brushhog]

First day out today junior and I drove a few dirt roads and not so roady roads to get to some remote ponds we fish. Everything was a muddy mess and I made a rookie mistake and got very stuck in the mud...

Of course, we left my Explorer and hiked the rest of the way to fish. Junior got two keepers on a bomber crankbait. I got skunked!

Back to the truck! Who to call? Dad out of town... My friends are to white collar, honda drivers etc...

My nephew and his friend JT! Jt drives a 70 something monster pick up, rusted out, rebel flags, redneck license plate,diesel maybe... I don't know

Long story short the boys pulled me out an even drove my truck out to avoid another problem. These guys were once students of mine and got a good laugh at my expense,

Anyway - moral of the story - your best students aren't always the ones who get the best grades!

[nofearengineer]

Yeah, we all know a couple of guys who we wouldn't ask for advice on our current tax laws, but are sure knowledgeable on getting your butt out of a sling when things get down and dirty. RESPECT!!!!

[brushhog]

Yup Nofear, that is exactly what these fellas are... Fix your snowblower-pull you out of the mud-butcher you deer-plow you driveway-drive a back hoe teenagers. Glad I know them!

[MallenManson]

Haha! Great story. We need friends from ALL walks of life sometimes

[Jim80]

wow brush at least you got to fish right , all I got to show for my first two trips out was a tick in my armpit area .

Jim, you out for a cameo appearance? Glad y'all had a good time bhog and caught a couple. Common sense can be more handy than A's on a paper sometimes.

[screwballl]

hmmm where do I fall in?

I had pretty good grades, very smart, am a computer tech, but also enjoy off road and fishing... and getting stuck/getting myself out of the mud and whatever else I can get into... I guess a geeky country boy???

That is a good story Brushhog.

Hey Jim, welcome back.

[bcklash]

This has been a good thread. I bet Jr. is saying he wants to be a redneck when he grows up.

[brushhog]

Junior was right impressed with the big old pick up and the tow chains...

Yep, it is always good to have a couple redneck friends-you can usually count on them when it hits the fan.

Jim, glad to see you, buddy! Where you been?

[carolina-rig-01]

Everyone makes fun of a Redneck until their car breaks down, or in this case gets stuck.

[brushhog]

Oh. I'm still going to make fun of them...
Just they get to make fun of me too! First they mock my meagery powered SUV, and the sissy boots i was wearing, then they make fun of "a guy with two masters degrees who ain't smart enough to get out of the mud!"

All in good fun, of course!

[screwballl]

lol usually I am the one that shows up and says "you got stuck in that??" then pull them out with my 2WD durango

Ehhhhhh.....there's always arguments for and against.
I was certainly lmao at the Tennessee people who were trying to get out of 2" of snow, by puttin the pedal to the floor one time.
As I was calmly backing out of my spot and driving past them
Besides, you don't hafta be a redneck to pull somebody out

[Rebbasser]

Mallen, you have to remember most of us southerners don't hardly know what snow is, let alone know how to drive in it.

Then again we have idiots who try to drive through a low water crossing-wrong name, should have been called a HIGH water crossing-with 6 feet of rushing water running across it.

I saw the results of that one night about 7 years ago. I was coming home from my wife's (then, just girlfriend's) house after a huge storm. I was late leaving because I had to wait for the monsoon to stop. The road leading from her house was blocked by mudslides, with still-standing trees in the middle of the road. So after having to take the long way around, and back-tracking several times, I see some water across the road leading to my house. I start to back up, then realize I'm not seeing a reflection, I'm looking at taillights about 3' under the water. Some idiot had tried to drive through a 6-7' flood, and wound up sinking his car like the Titanic. Some people really are stupid...
