Winch options

add a snatch block = 2x pulling power

however, the OP was just looking for a his small stucks - personally, I have a Warn 8000 so I don't have to manually extract myself

 

^ What he said. More Power Puller

 

I have used a come along and shovel to extract myself from a stuck - 90 min. of hard work 45 km from the next nearest person or help, with no cell service even if I wanted to call for help. I had my truck wired for a winch the next week and now have a cradle mounted superwinch lp10000. No way I ever want to put myself in that situation again. A come along is better than nothing, but its no substitute for a winch.

 

I have a Hi-Lift, Come-a-long
and a Warn M8K with snatch block
along with dual agm yellow tops.

I have these all on board currently...

But in the past, prior to owning the winch...

I was able to extract my stuck junk
using the come-a-long or Hi-Lift.

the winch obviously requires less effort.

But don't discount the others...
great to have on board in case the winch fails.
