Building out a better recovery kit for White Lightning. I am going to buy this instead of a winch.

Have some snatch blocks and soft shackles on the way as well. Probably do an extra length of synthetic rope. That coupled with boards should cover most emergencies.

I'm thinking the same as you. That Wyeth Scott puller is a beast. My concern is what to do if there are no trees or rocks to anchor the puller to extract the truck. Other than an expensive pull-pal, what could you use to anchor in the gumbo of central Wyoming?

You’re certainly limited.

Do you have traction boards? If you can drop the psi in your tires and use boards you can probably conquer the majority of what you’ll run into.

Saved my bacon here. @Potsie was with me another time when they saved us a lot of digging.

You have to air down so the tires grip the knobs. 4LO is best so you don’t spin the tires.

It’s the worst.

I get stuck more spring bear hunting than anything else.

I do believe there was a “that doesn’t look soooooo bad” mixed in there as well.

40’ in and just sat down.

Probably accurate. I think @Hammsolo said that though…

Definitely his fault. For sure.

Yes, I have traction boards and a good portable air compressor so that I can air down and air up again as needed. Thanks for sharing your input on the issue. I really appreciate hearing from other people that also hunt solo and need to be self-reliant.

If you don't feel like digging when you're stuck in those spring drifts, you can wait until the middle of the night when the temps drop and most likely drive right out on top of the snow.

I learned that one the hard way.

I also bought a compressor and deflator to keep in my rig this year. I should have done that years ago.

In the photo I posted, I likely would not have gotten stuck if I had aired down to 20. Or driven through before daylight.

My current Falkens just rolled 50,000 miles, but they are in great shape and still have plenty of tread left and I hate to throw them out. I’m considering keeping them for summers and throwing on a set of these Yokohamas with studs for winter on a set of powder coated steelies for fairly cheap.
