    Understood. Do both pulls from the rear end and drag it back on to solid dirt.

    Ok. I kinda can see that happening any way to anchor one end while pulling the other?

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Can you pull from the sliders? Each short tug, throw some boulders on the side of the tire?

    We need ideas on how he can get it back up on the trail with no trail anchor points, 1 winch and one truck

    Why couldn’t you pull from the front? As long as the steering angle isn’t terrible wouldn’t it just pull out nice and easy?
    The rear shouldn’t slide to much.

    The ideal way to get the OP's truck back onto the trail would be anchoring the pass side slider then pulling backwards

    That's what I was thinking also, but I am not onsite and I trust Hobbs judgment on how precarious and soft that shoulder is

    Yeah. I mean even if it slides a bit as long as you’re paying attention and watch the slide it shouldn’t be an issue. I mean you’ll be hooked up to another truck

    I might be full of bad ideas too.

    I've been in something similar. With no anchors and one truck, it'd be dicey. OP said there's one tree they could maybe use as an anchor point with a snatch block. Too far out of reach?

    Thirded. I would think if you just used the vehicle pulling to provide all of the forward motion and didn't put too much steering into it, it would just roll back onto the trail.

    I hear wiggling trees don't make the best anchors lol

    Ideally you'd have a truck on each end, both with a winch hooked up and basically pull him sideways.

    I think I would look to have Hobbs truck in front of OP, noses facing each other. Hobbs has his winch line out and hooked to OP drivers side recovery point. Ideally hobbs anchored off the rear on something.

    Then just slowly winch, with no acceleration from OP

    Reason I would think no acceleration is to keep the ass end from kicking out. Plus then you can be stupid slow and deliberate.

    This is what I was saying. Plus you can watch the rear wheel that’s off the trail

    Plus plus OP doesn't have to be in the truck for it if he wants to err on the side of caution.

    Would putting a rock under/ in front of the passenger rear tire help it pivot vs sliding??

    I don’t see why you couldn’t add rocks. But at this point the slow pull and watching is where it’s at.
