Volvo XC90 reversing in swamp - unexpected offroad

Road through swamp. I found that the road is blocked with water and mud and decided to retreat. The only way back was to drive rear.

More successful attempt of driving through water (part of Ladoga Lake) here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ40F89oEQ

[dmdoka]

@KoivuTheHab except for the fact that this ground road through the swamp.

The car seemed capable and willing but the driver wasn't really sure what he was doing. Not bad though.

[dmdoka]

@devilledevil98 you are right :) now I have a lot more experience in off road in this car.

[pomberoi]

that bad is that I can do with my s80

[dmdoka]

@pomberoi you can try :) the geotag is present.

Seriously - water near the left side of car was at around half meter with water and sand under the wheels. The car definitely won't be happy.

dude.. next time dont let off the gas when it slows down. and get those branches out of the way, you were obviously hitting them. gas down moderately and consistently, slow and steady does it most of the time. when it doesn't, sometimes it take faster and steady lol

Why didn't you back up with the driver's side on the side of the road and the passengers' side in the middle of the puddle where the mud is at it highest?

@dmdoka What you are talking about is a forest as seen in the video. If you really do not know what a swamp looks like please look it up before leaving hilarious comments like that. Simply put, if this was a swamp the guy standing around in the backpack wouldn't be standing on dry grass with snickers, also there are no roads through swamps other than hanging bridges or extreme landforms to fill a swamp with something that one could build a road on.

@dmdoka LOL I'm glad. Thanks for your reply. I love your XC90. My mom's been looking at the XC70 wagons. I hope we own a Volvo soon too!
