I see "overland" vehicles here running up and down the interstate with high lift jacks and traction boards bolted onto their bed racks. Funny thing is none have any mud or scratches on them. I marvel at the hood mounted Jack's. Brilliant for a new $80k vechile.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I carry a 4x8 sheet of 5/8 plywood ,that fits great in the bed of my pickup. The rear end went thru the ice and I was lucky to jack it up and slided the plywood under the tires. Worked great that time!!

A 70 pound Bruce anchor a 12000 pound winch with 90' of Amsteel on it .... tree saver steps, snatch blocks, soft shackles and kinetic rope. Since I have all that in the truck together with a chain saw I have not managed to get stuck and use it mostly to get others out of the pickles they got themselves into. Got the neighbor out of a ditch yesterday. No one was hurt and just a bit of plastic of the bumper splintered. Good tires are a big help when it gets white outside.

I have done that a few times myself. Lust last fall needed to get through low spot that had drifted and was to deep to make it through. Didn't take long to do and got a good path through and poured the inion to it and saved me about 3/4 of walking to get where I needed to be. I was running snares and in the first picture you can see my track up ahead. I was headed south and the NW wind just piles the snow in on the south side of the hills. I am running stubble so the tops are pretty open. It would have been a lot shorter a dig to go out forward, until I came back. Then I could dig out what I did to back out. There was no way I was getting out to the south and then making it back north to the house with out more of these therapy sessions. I know what it will look like over the next hill from what the last one looked like. We have a small ground blizzard going now. You can see, just not far.
