Not a clever trick when you are 6 hours drive from help.
Only consolation would be at least the tide would be on it's way out by time help arrived

When I was in the army someone had to walk in front in 'damp' conditions to see how deep the mud/water was/is
 , looks like that is not the norm here dave |

Must be a set up
 There were other tracks across the water just a tad further on from where he went in The recovering truck could easily have tied himself onto the ruddy great trailer thing behind him and used the winch for a good controled recovery. Snatch my arse , muppets

Apparently his brake line went so thats why he couldn't winch, But he could of attached the stuck vehicle to the back of his truck then winched from the tree.
