Ok guys.....we've had our winch pissing match and ya...dunno who won that one!! hahaanyhow, say you're stuck in the mud/sand/snow with no anchor points aroundand no other vehicles to winch off of and pull out.What do you guys do? Other than take all the parts off the truck...moveeach bit over to solid ground and built it back up again!?Do you guys use a sand-anchor? or a 'dead-mans' anchor??

And once you get unstuck then what? Cut off your winch cable and leave the anchored end... buried?

Only a problem if you use it with an elastic recovery strap. Not an issue with a non-elastic winch cable suitably damped with a coat or a tree limb.
