The whole thread reminds me of this one seen in Chicken, Alaska. Not many trees to get a winch line on up there but there is plenty of mud.
If this works for boats, why not vehicles.
My h.s. physics teacher didn't have much use for winches. He carried an old truck axle, a sledge hammer and about 100' of cable in 2 50' lengths. He'd hammer in the axle, attach the cable to truck and pin (or tree), then simply grab the cable in the middle and lift it or walk sideways. That's a =lot= of leverage! Just keep doing it until unstuck. Of course, his main point was "don't drive in places where you =could= get stuck". :-)
