that looks pretty bad, were you able to use your wench and pull out forward, what did you anchor to, or was it all hand digging and rock bridges. What recovery equipment do you keep on the vehicle.

I had to winch out because the sand was the only thing holding the van up. I tried to use the highlift but even a two square base sunk into the sand. I used every strap, chain and part I had to reach the first anchor point that was strong enough and I pulled that out. I did have a pullpal but it was at home that would have made it easy. Once out it did start raining and started with thunder/ lightning while I still had cable on the ground.

The good thing is I was able to watch a recorded movie while it stormed with great views all around.
