Description
Here's how you get out of the mud in West Africa:
1) Use a machete to cut down a tree and shape the trunk into a tow-bar with "V" shaped notches to fit around the axels of the towed vehicle.
2) Wait for the next truck to drive by.
3) Hire the truck and operators to help pull you out.
4) Use your belts to tie the "tow-stick" to the axel of the towed vehicle and the underbody of the towing vehicle.
5) Have the truck pull you out.
6) Thank everyone for their help and be on your way!

Ok, I will remember that if I get stuck in the mud in Africa.......What if I don't have a machete???? I better buy one, I can hang it next to my sword and spear. Seriously, it would go well with them. Nice photo and instructions.
Travel is always an adventure and the traveller must always be adaptable. Wonderful serues.
