Yeah, he was barefoot. Guess he didn’t want to mess up his bright white Nike’s.
It was a simple winch out forward, but he had spent an hour trying to back out. It was a lesson in departure angles. Jeep put their frame tow hooks under the bumper, which, of course, make them worthless in this situation. Had they been ON the bumper, I’d have had him out with a quick snatch. It had also been raining for 3 days, but he insisted on trying the soft top soil of the forest floor when the trails would have harder soil with most of the gooey soils washed away. The guy was definitely not the sharpest blade in the shed – if the bare feet didn’t give it away.
