Good to hear! I deleted your other threads so people won't be rushing out to 5MP & calling your phone all night.

Soo... did you get pics?!

Sounds like we had a few rescue parties organized. Glad to hear it worked out, and I'm glad we were able to cancel the all-out blitz before we made it out there.

That's why I didn't head out without talking to him ;) A place like 5mp you aren't likely to wait long for someone to happen by and pull you out.

I was with John (XT utah) and appreciate all the help and a big thanks to the people who were getting ready to head out and save our sorry butts. It always amazes me how many nice people are out in the 4 wheeling community. Thanks again!

Ok, I'm safely at home now :) .

Like Jay said, thanks so so much to everyone who was planning on coming out to rescue us. You guys are the best!

Thanks also to the anonymous guys who winched us up the hill.

*** News Flash ***

Next on my list of purchases is a winch!! I plan on picking one up in the next couple of weeks

Oh yeah, and thanks again!

Yup, as I suspected. I got sideways in the same spot last month, and had to use the tree as support while I powered up towards the top of the hill.

He might not have been alone, just not with somebody that could pull him out.

I go wheeling alone quite often... Just gotta know that the worst can happen. I say at the very least let people know where you are going. :)

You guys make good points. :)

I prefer to wheel with others but I almost always end up wheeling alone. I pretty much just take off and explore at a moment's notice so finding someone else to go is next to impossible. However, I'm usually wheeling where help is reasonably accessible.

Anyway, yesterday's experience convinced me to cough up the $ for a winch (I already have a pull pal). 99% of the time I have been stuck or stranded, a winch and pull pal would have gotten me out. Also, I wheel with a hi-lift, lift mate http://www.hi-lift.com/products/liftmate.htm, 20,000 lb strap, 8,000 lb chain, tools, etc.

I will still explore alone but I think my days of trying extreme stuff while alone are over :greg:.

Thanks again for everyone's willingness to help :)

:rofl: as if

I seem to remember you getting pulled out of the same wash in the same spot twice within 5 minutes :rofl:

You don't see your limits until you've passed them :greg:
