Pullstart 62,834 #1 Posted January 28 A few weeks back, Colleen was the guest of honor for some friends. We made a few rounds of the field, and parked it. After another hour or two, they asked to go out again. We made it 233 yards according to my buddy’s OnX hunt app 2 6 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #9 Posted January 28 Like I mentioned in the video.. it’s paid for, and we can’t put it on the road, so why not have fun? I think I’ll keep my eyes out for some awesome tractor tires and wheels to adapt to it on the cheap! For the few years we’ve owned it, we’ve only put 10 gallons of fuel in it. Lots of fun for little money now. 5 minutes ago, c-series don said: Poor Kevin, he really takes a self inflicted beatin here!

pfrederi 17,708 #11 Posted January 28 You can borrow my M-37w/w.. may have to tie her to a tree but she will get it out 1 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,998 #12 Posted January 28 (edited) Now that sounds like a fun activity! Let's see, drive from Mo. to Pa., then Pa. to Mi. at what, 40mph? to help rescue Colleen. Get it all muddy, 'cause it is probably impossible to get it to the bus without doing 4 or 5 laps of the field. Pull the bus out, stick the bus again on the way back to the parking lot. 3 or 4 more laps to position the M-37. Pull the bus out. The bus is now warmed up, so let's do a lap of the field, 'cause we are out there. Stick the bus again, more laps with the M-37..... Well, I guess everybody can pretty much imagine how the rest of the day will go. Of course, more video would need to be taken.

Kevin is an experiential learner, the more experience you have at doing bone-head things the better you become at it. He has only gotten the bus stuck once before so give him time, before long he will perfect the fine art of burying it up to the windows. Experiential learning is the process of learning through experience, and is more narrowly defined as "learning through reflection on doing". Hands-on learning can be a form of experiential learning, but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service-learning, and situated learning. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't sell yourself short Kevin, I'm sure you are capable of figuring out a way to do it. Monster truck tires just make a deeper hole to attempt to get out of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
