Talking first day getting my truck

Quick story with a good point at the end..

First day I got my 97 ram(one in my signature) I took my buddy and gf and decided to go to a mud trail bout 5 miles out of city and go baptize my truck. I saw a mudhole and decided that was gonna be the first hole I go through. I let my friend get out and do the stick test(ill explain later). Hitting that mudhole was a big mistake, when all 4 of my tires were in the hole, mud was up to my windows. I was PI$$ED!!! We had no winch,cum along, no service on cell phones, getting get out of the truck.. I kicked it into 4x4 low and jus floored it...my friend decided to climb out the window,walk through the mud and videocord it on his cell phone... i just kept going and bout 2 minutes later my truck flew out of the mud hole like a bat out of hell. So my points are

1.Before hitting a mudhole do a sticktest...
get a stick or something and poke your hole to see how deep it is..then put pressure on the stick to see if its hard bottom(this will save your life)

2. no winch? cum along!!

3.DONT LET YOUR FRIENDS DO THE STICKTEST! if your driving it.. you do it.

and also i forgot the whole time in the mud my gf was complaining and yelling so...

4.dont bring your gf if she s gonna b!tch
