I thought of something recently, and more along an extreme situation.

to use logs/limbs in place of straps or chains.

im thinking more if you're trying to use a high lift or come-a-long to get unstuck, but don't have enough cable to reach a good tree.

you could find a length of tree or branch, and using your belt, shoe laces, rope or whatever else you may have to secure it. it might be JUST enough to get you out the that predicament.


I once used several lengths of chain, and a couple small trees as levers to pull my truck out. not in the way I was describing above, as I had no mechanical pulling devices, nor any other vehicles. it was some full on MacGyver shit...
