And he goes 4x4ing in that, no wonder he got "stuck" just for purpose of demostrating that Pul-pal
they have been around for over 25 yrs maybe longer,,,,,, big and bulky imo

I'd think the Army had land anchors for remote recoveries

a couple of star pickets and some chain packs smaller...

Yeah, land anchors are good. Just need a longer anchor going deep into the sand though.
Little bit of hitting with a sledge hammer may be?

Yeah, combination of winch ropes with chains sounds like a good idea for long winch rope applications.

Yep, it is bulky. It might save the trouble of having to stabilize sand anchors by saving few minutes.

The snow one's got a custom built carrier behind the spare wheel with the spare wheel, obviously.
When done like that, it obviously doesn't take much room. Not a bad idea.

Arabs, the masters of desert living and recovery. Always come up with an idea that doesn't need anything fancy.

This is a pretty good track grabber tool. Simple and effective.
I reckon we can make them even better by wrapping something rough in the middle to improve the friction.
Something like rags, etc.
