Real-time Assist - Buried in Mud (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure what I noticed first, the mud or your tires. This must've been a "hold my beer, watch this" situation. Bet it was fun until it wasn't! Hahahaha, glad you all are out of that mess.

Moar pics of the girls. Forget about the trucks.

Glad you got out.

A Rivian???

Indeed - it has performed remarkably well. Only major bummer is the weight. It is a bear to get unstuck if it sinks in.

Lack of rev counter on EVs also makes it really tough to gauge wheel spin in low traction situations.

 

[seatosummit]

Well, you weren’t the only ones I guess…

No way! When was that?

 

[seatosummit]

From the look of these photos doesn't look like there's a road or even a trail there so why did you drive into this to begin with?

We were right next to the road. We had both gotten stuck on the road initially. Self recovered and then got proper stuck turning around. Should have backed out 800 yards in retrospec.

 

[seatosummit]

much respect for actually using your trucks. Looks like a blast!

Super fun until it wasn't, exactly. Beautiful area and look forward to going back when it dries out a bit.

Ya man, thank you! We are stoked to be out. Would have killed for a beer after we realized how big of a s*** show we were in haha. Somehow forgot to load the cooler as we thought we would be at the bar by 4PM!

Haha - they were troopers through the s***ty hike out, but think its gone be a but before they are willing to get back on the trail.

Live & learn. If you are getting bogged on a road (that is pretty packed down to begin with), do NOT drive off it into the grassy and water logged dirt

Good adventure and memories to look back on.

cheers,
george.

100% -- instant lesson there.

And if you do decide to do something idiotic like that make sure your buddy is at least still on the road

Haha that’s usually a 2-3 hour drive from me but with the 33 shut down it’s like 7

Friday I think. I had spent the last week in/around Death Valley. Slight lack of judgment. It happens.

I had a nice lunch, shaved, took a little dip in the lake. it was nice…

so awesome to see a Rivian out there be tested.

Hi All -

My brother and I both managed to get our trucks stuck last night in Carrizo Plain in San Luis Obispo county.

Any recommendations on an off road recovery service out here?

We are about 800 yards from decent trail and maybe 20 yards from boggy trail. Got stuck trying to turn around.

Currently in New Cuyama trying to figure out next steps.

electric chew escapades... i love it

lots of power pole recovery points though....

I don’t care where I am or what I’m driving, I always steer clear from bright green grasses. It’s nature’s way of warning it will swallow you.

If the recovery guys were unwilling to help I was going to go find a receiver hitch mount winch and make use of those utility poles.

Haha I love downward dogged as a solution to super bogged.

Reading the local news yesterday, looks like this last weekend wasn't any drier up there...
Guess it could have been a lot worse!
