    A ground anchor or other vehicle are about your only options.

    I'm not saying you have to take one but there is never a shortage of them anywhere you go. Fat chicks are like sharks, but instead of smelling blog from miles away they can smell bacon and cheeseburgers. Just toss one out and wait.

    You can make a surprisingly stout anchor by burying halfway sizeable shit in sand (a few logs for example).

    But I agree...recovery with another vehicle is a better option.


    Or this.

    I have a fat kid in my bed as often as possible for traction purposes. Mouse-over my truck description under my name.
