So I finally was able to get out for my second scouting trip today after a very busy summer. Today started out like any other day scouting, up at 3, grab some coffee and off to pick up a friend at 4. A quick stop for some fuel and we were on the road. After spotting a few bulls, a couple antelope and a lot of deer we decided to move to another location. On the way to the new location there was a short steep section that seemed like no problem, but half way up the jeep ran out of ponies to make the hill. No problem I thought, so I pressed the clutch and hit the brakes thinking I would just put the jeep into 4 low and continue up the hill. That's when it all broke loose. The front brakes locked up like they were supposed to but te back brakes failed, resulting in the jeep sliding backwards uncontroably. With the front tired locked up and the back brakes doing nothing, the jeep went sideways slamming into a rock before flipping over. It could have been a lot worse and I'm just glad we both were not harmed in the incident, vehicles can be repaired and replaced! But be careful and prepared stuff happens in te blink of an eye and it happens to everyone!
