agree..... talk about learning a lesson the hard way. Some civilians just think a military truck is invincible and don't consider getting training to drive in adverse conditions before jumping in to the fray. These folk just get in the way and often cause more harm than good.

That pic though did spark an idea.

"Necessity is the father of invention"...... stress is the father of necessity. aka dropping your truck in a 12 foot sinkhole full of water is bit stressful... sooo build a floating frame that sticks 10 feet out in front of truck with a fishing/depth finder on it? something like a "Rhino side sonar" that a floats up and down like a toilet float arm lol; but instead a depth finder in front of tires and not side sonar for?? IED's? .


Do they have alarms on depth finders? IF not... there is the primary job of one of the co-pilots .

Heh, yeah you could just stick a Lawrance Hook2 transducer on a pole and know when it's too deep to ford.



edit: it's be even MORE fun to kit out a drone to do it.

Hmmmmm....

Back in Costa Rica, I would send my wife into the river waters out ahead of the truck to do the depth checking.
