Default How I spent my weekend, so far

Sounds like a fun day. Seems like a good case to have a winch
available. Maybe even just a 3/4 ton lever hoist.

No good in soft sand, nothing to dead man to. What got us out was lowering
the tire pressure on the Razors, and they climbed right out. It took two
Can-ams hooked together in series to get the other two bikes out, one at a
time. I never could see what the big deal was about an ATV with 650cc
engines until today. Singly, they would run right up the big sandy twisty
trail.

The shovel / plow type land anchors would probably work, even just a
regular folding camp shovel used similarly. Also given the low weight of
ATVs (relative to trucks), carrying a couple hundred feet of good static
rope per ATV to extend the winches reach wouldn't be unreasonable.
