Unfortunately it was before the days of cameras in phones.
One of my guys got the skid steer stuck cleaning out a log jam in a marshy area. I got the first tractor stuck trying to get him out. Another one of my guys got the second tractor stuck trying to get me out.
We called a wrecker and even though it was chained to a tree as an anchor, got it stuck. The wrecker was at least able to winch out the second tractor. I went to the yard and got a spool of 150' of wire rope and with multiple pulls from a safer distance, was able to winch out the other equipment. We had to drive steel posts into the ground and attach come-a-longs to the skid steer to keep it from flipping as it was being winched out.
I asked the wrecker driver how much I got to charge him for getting him unstuck. He gave me a discount.
Complete waste of a day.

Sounds like you could've used help from Ukranian farmers and their tractors? LOLUnfortunately it was before the days of cameras in phones.

A good safari brings a great experience that fulfils your expectations, but a great safari also brings professionalism and friendship. Bushcat Safaris fills all those boxes and we have a lot of great memories from the bush with rifle in hand.
My warmest recommendation for you to plan a safari with these guys and be ready for a great time. As they say, we are not here for a long time, we’re here for a great time!
