| So, who pulls who? | Dropping the rear leg on the drift. | After pulling us out, Mike gets hung up in the same snow. |

| A grassy meadow calls for a pause. | With his new 33" BFG MT's, Ben motors up the hill. | Cough. Thanks for the dust Ben. |

| Ben kicks on up the hill. | Ben makes his way to the top in a cloud of dust. | Ben sneaks up on his prey, the wounded silver X with AT's. |

| Mike gains traction and moves on up. | Rocky, eh? | Aren't your spotters supposed to be near the vehicle? |
