One thing that everybody has to get over is getting stuck. It’s goes with the terrain. However the more you drive the more the skill acquisition, the better the sand reading skills and vehicle control, it takes time.
The most important thing is to participate, understand why you got stuck, remember to thank those that helped in the recovery and move on 😀
Join one of the drives but before you do go buy a walkie Takie radio
Have fun
Thanks Brian for the warm welcome 🙂 I would surely buy walkie and some rope and shackle before I join you guys, I will be going to my home country this weekend for my annual vacation, so as soon as am back, hope to meet you guys.
Cheers !!
