[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1338694, member: 70559"] I guess this almost fits here. I used to enjoy walking on the curb of the street. Maybe foolish childishness, but I enjoyed it. While in the woods I figured I could walk across a downed dead tree. About half way across I managed to trip on a stobb and fall off the "log" right into the stump of a hollow dead tree, butt first. (What are the odds?[B]![/B]) The hollow was just large enough for me to catch myself with the back of my knees and underarms. Being athletic I figured I would just push myself out. No way. I was stuck. The rifle was still in my hands so I thought I could fire three shot, but then I couldn't get to my ammo to fire more after a few minutes so that didn't seem like a good idea. I gathered my composure and relaxed for a couple minutes. Then I realized I could move my arms "up" without falling further into the hollow. I worked my elbows a few inches above my shoulders and gave it the old college try. After a few efforts I got my calves up on the edge so I could use my arms a little more. Once I could do that I was able to push more with one side than the other and able to roll out and drop to the ground. It was almost scarey experience. The only thing injured was my pride. I don't walk on "logs" any more. [/QUOTE]
