here is what once happened to a guy i was traveling in a group with on a glacier and some photos on how this may be used practically when in trouble.
here is how the tire came of the wheel
then some digging

the jack then stabled with some robes and the tire adjusted in place.

i knew this method existed since i was a child but those guys driving the ford you may have seen earlier in some of my posts new how it was done they said the trick was not to put too much, better to but too little and try again other wise things can go disastrous as they then demonstrated by giving it a few goes.
