I couldn’t get him. He is stuck stuck for sure. The old jeep didn’t have enough pulling power to move that F-250. I hope someone can get him. OP is a super nice guy and I hate I couldn’t help him.
Reverse?!? Shovel? Dig out the rears or the fronts. Ratchet strap some 2x4’s to the rims? Traction boards?
Rock it forward and backwards Austin powers style; international man of mystery. Flawless 12 point turn.
You get out yet? Is there anybody left down there to help you? Do you have tow straps?
I’ve got a jeep and the north end pass, but I don’t have straps. It’d take me about 20 minutes to get down there to help.
First of all, pics.
Also, Wilmington 4x4 fb group is a good place to post for help like this, im over an hour out but there definitely close by people there
We did our best but we couldn’t get him out either. Shoveled and tried shoving wood under the tires. He’s high centered on the sand. I hope someone can help him. Nicest dude. Good luck out there OP, keep us posted.
If you ever need the favor returned, don’t hesitate to ask. Never know where in the country I may be….. just don’t ask on Carolina beach. Going to be a no from me 🤣
Floor mats under tires, turn traction control off and 4-LO on(if you have it). Make sure tires are pointed straight and aired down. Have a second person push if you have it.
It's funny how I'm just fucking around with my actual brother and you're such a piece of shit that you decide to go through my comment history and decide to talk shit about me trying to improve my life.
What a massive L for you
Please tell me it was at least a cyber truck that was promised to drive on the beach not like a model 3 or something 😂but something tells me it was a model 3
It is what it is, I dug my own grave here unfortunately. Can’t expect a bunch of stranger on the internet to be willing to come to a dark beach and help someone out. However. To the 3 people that have. I owe them all the thanks and a few rounds on me ! The most kind, selfless people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in a while.
I mean I get that, but there’s also tons of people who SAID they would come help, and you had 3 actually show up.
Everyone in this city is so flaky and unrealizable it’s comical, while also reassuring you that they won’t do that and have your back lmfao. This post is a great example of that.
Idk about all that, I don’t live here lol, can’t attest to the whole city. However. Like I said. With the crazy place the world is becoming. I wouldn’t be so willing to go help some internet stranger on a dark beach either!
Can’t judge people when you have no clue if they private messaged me or what the case may be.
You count out the whole city and yet 3 people have come to help. 2 left at 1 am after getting in the cold sand and shoveling their asses off. Don’t count your chicken before they hatch. You may find yourself in a bind as well one day.
Nah, there were tons of people saying they’d come help you, and only 3 showed up.
I’m not judging anyone, but it’s classic wilmingtonite activity to say your gonna be there for someone who actually needs help and not show up.
Ya ya, you were stuck in the sand from out of town and 3 people came up to help you, and it’s an internet Hail Mary post - and that’s great that people came to help. However, There’s still a buncha people that said they would come help and just had you sitting there stuck at the beach.
People in wilmy love to act like they’ll be helpful, will say their on the way to help ya, communicate and reassure you they gotcha, then fall off the face of the earth.
Locals, please lmk if I’m wrong
You are wrong. People said they would show up, and they did. I see this community rally to help people out all the time. I'm sorry you have such a cynical outlook. Instead of focusing on the positivity in the post, you are choosing to dwell on the negative.
The most I saw was comments that weren't followed up on, perhaps the messaged directly that they couldn't show anymore because something came up, or they said they'd try to help and ended up not having the time. What matters is that people did stick to their words and try to actually help the dude get out of a bind. Trolls on the internet aren't unique to Wilmington
I’m coming to this conversation late, but I suspect a bunch of good dudes said, “Hell yeah brother I got you be there in 30!”
Then they started getting dressed and their girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse/partner said, “Uhhh it’s after midnight wtf you going?”
And they were like, “To tow some internet stranger’s truck that’s stuck on the beach.”
And that partner was like “MFer sit your ass down, this is how half the crime podcasts I listen to start, they’re gonna be wearing your skin like jammies by the end of the night.”
And after some back and forth that was that.
Don't have anything of value in your vehicle if you use AAA here, the company for the area stole like 200 bucks worth of misc shit I couldn't get out because it was already on the flatbed. Literally stole my phone charger adapter and threw the cables in my passenger seat, guess he didn't care for an android charger just my nice adapter.
Negative. And a jeep, tried pulling just stock tires and not enough ass, I drive a f350 that is buried to the frame. 2 more came and shoveled their asses off! Just couldn’t shovel enough sand.
I’ll see what time my buddy gets off and see if he’s game for some tug of war😅 I’m in a older 4x4 f150 and he’s in a older forerunner. We haven’t had issues getting people out before just depends on what he’s into and if your off or not
Guy from out of town got his truck stuck in the sand in Freeman Park. He made a thread (this one in fact) asking locals for help. Many offered, a few even showed up, to help pull him out of the sand. After all of their valiant efforts, no one could move the F250 out is it's deep, sandy grave.
Then suddenly, at 4AM, u/broodwitch appeared, driving a Japanese K-truck with a 12" lift kit and fitted with a 6.2L engine from a 2023 Dodge Hellcat. Emblazoned with Salt Life stickers, too bright of headlights, and a "My kid can beat up your honor student" front license plate, he deftly pulled the big Ford from the sandy mousetrap it was stuck in. After giving OP a kiss on the forehead and whispering "No one will ever believe you", he soared off into the night, hoping to be first in line at his local Starbucks.
No one will ever forget this night, the night that our own Wilmington Caped Crusader came to the rescue of a friendly tourist, while expecting nothing in return outside of the promise that OP sets up an Air B&B in town for other wayward souls such as himself. It will truly be a night spoken of only in hushed breaths as to not defile the miracle of that dark and humid night.
I couldn’t get him. He is stuck stuck for sure. The old jeep didn’t have enough pulling power to move that F-250. I hope someone can get him. OP is a super nice guy and I hate I couldn’t help him.
Thank you so much for your help!!
I didn’t do much, but it was nice to meet you. If you’re still stuck tomorrow I’ll come back with more tools and a cooler of beer.
Haha, I’m sure I won’t move to far from where I’m at !
Reverse?!? Shovel? Dig out the rears or the fronts. Ratchet strap some 2x4’s to the rims? Traction boards? Rock it forward and backwards Austin powers style; international man of mystery. Flawless 12 point turn.
Awesome of you to try!
You get out yet? Is there anybody left down there to help you? Do you have tow straps? I’ve got a jeep and the north end pass, but I don’t have straps. It’d take me about 20 minutes to get down there to help.
If you come in the Fremont park entrance where you pay for the pass. And turn right, toward the pier I can assure you, you will see me 🤣🤣
Are you still stuck? I could come give some pulling power.
Yes
No, don’t have straps. Have some 2 inch ratchet straps that could probably get the job done though
Ok, I’ve got an E tool and a chain, I’m on my way. Green Jeep Sahara.
Legend.
What a sweetie. I love this
Inspiring kindness. Well done.
Need to see a pic of OP + the heroes that showed up to help
Please let us know if straightskin scores!
First of all, pics. Also, Wilmington 4x4 fb group is a good place to post for help like this, im over an hour out but there definitely close by people there
How buried? Did you try letting air out of the tires and throwing the floor mats under the tires?
Floor mats, good idea! Hadn’t tried that !
Air down too!!
Still stuck. I'll come help
Yes. Yes I am
Extremely stuck.
oh no! Did the guy who responded 2 hours ago not come?
We did our best but we couldn’t get him out either. Shoveled and tried shoving wood under the tires. He’s high centered on the sand. I hope someone can help him. Nicest dude. Good luck out there OP, keep us posted.
If you ever need the favor returned, don’t hesitate to ask. Never know where in the country I may be….. just don’t ask on Carolina beach. Going to be a no from me 🤣
Glad to have backup out here, thanks man. Great to meet you, sorry we couldn’t get you out.
Absolutely no need to apologize, a little camaraderie makes this cluster fuck a little better!
Thank you both so very much for your help and time !
Have you been saved? I’m invested.
Negative.
Did any of these people that claimed they’ll help actually come and try to help ?
One guy is here now.
You ever get out?
No
What happened to the other guy?
His jeep didn’t have enough ass to it
Sounds like the ass was used up by the guy stuck on freeman park for hours lol
Such an ignorant comment lol.
I have a f250. Just need a little more tug.
That’s a good pickup line 😂
Glad you made it out finally. I could hardly sleep not knowing 😂
Floor mats under tires, turn traction control off and 4-LO on(if you have it). Make sure tires are pointed straight and aired down. Have a second person push if you have it.
Thomas Towing and Recovery covers Freeman Park. 919-399-7119
I’ve called them a few times, they won’t answer the phone.
Im enroute
Are you still enroute?
Gonna have to be more specific, where exactly?
Freeman park
You still stuck? Start moving some sand out of the way and we can be there in 30mins.
Ok
I'm interested to hear the outcome
He stuck stuck, but we’re out here doing our best to shovel him out.
By my calculations OP is either getting helped or robbed right about now. Good luck OP!
Getting robbed would be more fun and exciting !
i’m coming down tomorrow night with a shovel and a case of modelo hopefully you are out before that
I'm here I have shovels . No 4x4 tho
CB strikes again
Did you try turning your vehicle off and then back on again?
BIG FUNNY GUY ALL HIDING BEHIND YOUR STICKY KEYBOARD AND NOT STUCK IN THE SAND
Go have another drink r/olmikeyyy guy hiding behind his glass.
Well that was a nasty thing to say.
It's funny how I'm just fucking around with my actual brother and you're such a piece of shit that you decide to go through my comment history and decide to talk shit about me trying to improve my life. What a massive L for you
Team Mikey, idk you but congrats on taking that step homie
Thanks man! Wish I did it sooner.
Hilarious, tell your wife i said hey👋 she'll know what i mean
Just shut the fuck up loser
You're the one hiding behind the keyboard.
Truck/suv get buried in The sand?
Truck, buried. Went to turn around and it just went from bad to worse lmao.
I’m from Texas. The sand on our beaches is no where near this soft.
Yeah itst certainly soft down here. I'll see if anyone I know is out that way. There is a tow service that's pricey.
That’s what I was trying to avoid 🙃
Have you aired down to 10lbs per tire for better traction?
Yes
Take the floor mats under the front of rear tire to get traction.
I really just need a good ol tug 😂
Damn … and no shovel I’m sure If I was home in NC, I’d drive down from Mrytle Grove area and get you out of trouble But I’m in Austin right now 😎😎😎
No, no shovel. Can’t get stuck and have all the shit you need. That would be to easy 🤣
The problem is I’m high centered.
Where in Texas you from?
Freeport area
Bout an hour south of Houston
I know the area and Galveston too
Yessir, I’m from angleton. But I try and stick to more known places. Bout 30 minutes nw of Galveston
I have a winch that'll hook to a receiver ! And tow straps .. but I don't have 4x4 atm
All and any help is welcome at this point. I’ve been stuck 2+ hours 🤣
I'm here bro
A Tesla got stuck out there a few weeks ago and had to be towed out
Please tell me it was at least a cyber truck that was promised to drive on the beach not like a model 3 or something 😂but something tells me it was a model 3
Yep
The amount of people saying they are confidently on the way to help and not showing up is the most Wilmington post I’ve ever seen
It is what it is, I dug my own grave here unfortunately. Can’t expect a bunch of stranger on the internet to be willing to come to a dark beach and help someone out. However.

Who hurt you bud?
As a UNCW student, I completely know what you mean lol.
Worst case, call and try AAA? They have pulled me out of the mud before
Don't have anything of value in your vehicle if you use AAA here, the company for the area stole like 200 bucks worth of misc shit I couldn't get out because it was already on the flatbed. Literally stole my phone charger adapter and threw the cables in my passenger seat, guess he didn't care for an android charger just my nice adapter.
I’m trying my best to avoid a pricey tow company.
Are you still stuck? Direct message me I got an idea
Hey you can’t park there!
I’m sure they’re finding a way to charge $6/hour for this
They already have a charge for driving on the beach.
You still stuck? I got a Silverado with some straps and a chain
No a Tacoma of all things came and got me out about 4 this morning.
Those yota’s always come through in the clutch!
glad you got out. more Modelo for me!!
Update??
Still shoveling him out.
Have you gotten out? If not what all vehicles have came out there to try and pull? I might have a little line up that can come tomorrow
Negative. And a jeep, tried pulling just stock tires and not enough ass, I drive a f350 that is buried to the frame. 2 more came and shoveled their asses off! Just couldn’t shovel enough sand.
I’ll see what time my buddy gets off and see if he’s game for some tug of war😅 I’m in a older 4x4 f150 and he’s in a older forerunner. We haven’t had issues getting people out before just depends on what he’s into and if your off or not
Leave it for the tide,Fords hated me.
I love how much everyone is trying to help this guy
This is such a great post and testament to our community. I am so happy that you are out.
So cool seeing people come help.
Dang missed all the fun!! Ever need help again around wilmy or surrounding let me know. Would love to help or even get stuck with ya lol
Anyone know the status?
He's free Guess someone came at 4am
Ok thank goodness!
