Anza Borrego TC Rescue
buried my camper this weekend in June wash. Pulled into the wash and thought, I don't need to put it in 4wd just yet.. 200yards down the road decided to stop for lunch and then put it in 4wd...

It all depends on how stuck you get. In my jeeping days, we've had two 9,000# winches with snatch blocks pulling a 4,000# jeep and not able to get it to move. We had to do some digging and still put a 3rd 9,000# winch straight line to the vehicle to finally get it out. It was buried to the doors in a sticky glue clay.
Then there was the situation where I nose dived my jeep into a hole and couldn't back up. Used a 1,500# ratchet to give me the little extra I needed to get out. It was a slow process of putting as much strain on the ratchet, then back up the jeep about an inch, repeat process about 60 times to get unstuck.
Usually they recommend 1-1/2 times the vehicle weight and this takes into account using a snatch block at times.
