Thanks for the tips, especially the one about going home downhill, make sense but would not have thought of it. It is true around here also that you rarely need 4wd on 2 tracks ( do not remember the last time i used it ) but when you are around home and get stuck it is inconvenient, but I am familiar with the area and know where to go. When you are in an unfamiliar place and get stuck, I imagine it can be a little scary.
