No, GoodSam will only cover 1-hour of winching. This would be about enough to get a large rig unstuck from wet grass. Get the drive axle high-centered, or off an embankment, and it can be MANY hours.

The vast majority of the time is usually spend setting up winch-line, establishing anchors, trimming back vegetation, filling in low spots etc.

They also define the limitations of their coverage area:
An off-road area is defined as an area OFF of any of the following: hardpacked or graded dirt public road, paved street, driveway, parking lot, highway, freeway, expressway or adjacent shoulder.
Forest Service roads generally fall under "graded dirt public road", but you have to be careful because some "public roads" may intermittently become private timber company roads. This is VERY common here, and it only designated by a small 4" marker on the side of the road. Sometimes the "not currently maintained" card is thrown out too.
