Home on the Low Range

We decided to work on another rural skill this weekend - four wheel driving. Just in case we ever need to tow the chicken coop to a different spot.

Our instructor gave us a radio and we set off in convoy into the forest.



The first skill that we learnt was "walking" the truck. We put it into low range 4WD mode, first gear, and with no brake and no clutch meandered our way around a muddy field.

Then it was time to negotiate some trees - trunks, branches, roots and stumps - as we moved at slow speed and precarious angles along a forest track.



I even managed to get two wheels off the ground at one time.
