    Default How many mistakes do you see?



    Just saw this (again) and decided we should count the number of things done wrong.

    I'll start by saying the obvious mistake is that this guy even drives.

    Next?

    The forum wants "classic" youtube URL's... HTTP and no HTTPS and www.YouTube.com style URL.

    Using a kinetic strap and pulling out the way he went in would have been an easy recovery.

    I'm guessing we didn't see him hyrolock the motor and then drain the battery.

    There's wench on the front? Is she hot? I'm not sure she could have done much though.

    I do see a wire wrapped around the mirror so he may have a winch up there too, I wonder if the wench is riding on it.

    I stopped counting the stupid things I saw after about a dozen.
