    Funny story, there use to be a place here in Texas years ago called "spring creek offroad park". It was next to a large creek that had a nice flow rate of water. A guy came down there in a duece and half military vehicle and was showing off the snorkel driving down the creek. Well I guess he stopped for a minute to grab a beer or something and the sand washed out under his tires and even with all 3 axles turning, and lockers, he couldn't get out. We watched it for a hour or so, but the water flowing was causing it to sink a few inches or so every 10 mins. At one point there was like three diesel 4x4 trucks all pulling on him at the same time and he wasn't budging. I wonder how he ended up getting that thing out.

    Yeah. Spent a little over 9 years as an Aviation Electrician. I kinda miss it. I had the opportunity to get in on the Kilo program while I was in but I wanted to get out. Still have a couple friends working for Sikorsky.

    Plan A)
    Need about 500 mylar helium balloons, 800 yards of string, some 2x4s, some large sheets, a few generators and a few industrial strength 6' fans. Maybe some paper towels and a shop vac for good measure.

    Plan B)
    Report the truck and trailer stolen, catch a can home.

    If the plan was to total your trailer and collect an insurance check then they did a great job.

    It took one of these to get him out. At least he didn't get down to the water.

    That's what I was thinking. So, not really anything to hook up to and pull/ get purchase.
    Time to call in a D8.
    Maybe if you could coordinate 10 trucks to pull together, side by side not in a line, but good luck with that. I think @Slp82 has a great point about slowly overcoming the suction.
