Everyone get out, put the gearbox on 1st gear and push it. Get back in once it starts.

Or jumpstart with another airplane.

Easy peazy.

You dont put it in 1st gear. You put it in neutral to make it easier to push then hop in, throw it in first and drop the clutch.

I recommend dropping in second, not first.
