went out yesturday with my missis and a mate to a green lane that a so called mate said is just a green lane which was meant to be just a green lane a couple puddles/no hills will take me 10 mins to drive down . which was not the case , 5 mins into the lane it turned into the woarse night ive had in years . was driving along at low speed in 2nd gear . just enjoying the drive . then we turned a corner and ended up in a huge hole . lane had a ditch either side and the ditchs had merged across the lane . the truck ended up nose down in the soup with the front wheels just hanging in the soup . and back wheels in the air . truck was resting on the rear leaf springs .this happened at half 6 pm . after 20 mins of trying to get her out . we called a mate how said he had just got a frontera . so while he was coming to help us we walked out of the lane to meet him . then it got woarse . mate turned up and got stuck 20 feet from mine . pushed his truck out after 20 mins . got his truck out . then got it out of the lane . couple of mates turned up then and after 4 hrs of pushing/pulling/lifting ,pallets/bricks under everywhere . after bad backs/cuts/wet/muddy and a couple falls into the ditch we got it out . it was the best filling ever and some how it felt like a great night , not sure why . times like that are when you find out who your real mates are so just want to say thanks to my missis jimma dan and the machine of a man ryan . anyway just want to say , i messed up and i am never going out alone and in the dark ever again .
and is their any advice i can get in what is the min of equipment to leave in the truck .
