The bro in law had a bit of a incident on his Mule quad bike. He was very lucky it wasn't fatal.
The only way to get it out was to get the helicopter in. The pilot dropped his crew off at the site and I said that I would guide him on the trailer and then would bring the strops up.
In my rush to get the strops up to the machine, I forgot that after going through a steep ditch it was a sharp turn to the left which required a 2 point turn as the bank was washed out. I remembered that as I felt the Holden lurch over. I tried to back out...that wasn't going to happen. I opted to bail out the passenger door and run up the track to the heli.
The pilot and owner wondered where my truck was, which he saw on his flight back to the hangar. I got a fair bit of shit next time I went in for a coffee.
I should have given it a nudge and got a new truck haha.
Sister was a bit hacked off with guys and vehicles that day hahaha
