[QUOTE="Narrawa, post: 154092, member: 3694"] When your diffs are already grounded, letting air out of your tyres does what.?....much the same thing as when its been drowned....a hi-lift will accomplish what.? Winches have their place just like all aids....if you only use it once to get yourself out, whatever it was you used...was worth having. I hi-lift in a long muddy bog hole is nothing short of painful when it becomes a repetitive struggle.....your first thoughts are....wish i had a winch. You dont need a tree or rock if you carry a spare wheel, and fumy enough, many of us do carry a spare. Bury it and winch off it. A log or rock will also suffice if buried to winch off. The old King-Gee TV commercial of yester year depicts a guy pulling a van from a cliff ledge using the principle of gearing, by wrapping a chain/rope round a playground merry-go-round, and walking round pulling the van to safety........the same principle works with a short pole placed over a star picket...iv used it....while it will work, it has issues.
