i will agree that offroading alone is prob. not a good idea, but i still do it, which is why i have my winch... AAA can get out into the middle of some woods as i found out in tallahassee when my gf and i were out riding around and i found a nice big mud pit... needless to say, got stuck, winch failed, and had no one to call in tally.... could have been along day, luckily i had my gf and nothing but time until AAA found us....
