That's what a local Amish man used when I first got stuck trying to cross the embankment on his road. Worked like a charm.

Yep. It's a poor man's winch. I helped my buddy unstick himself in his 1st gen blazer with one when he dug frame into a mud pit.

Not on the trails but I use them at work all the time
I may have to 'misplace' one

They work great, so long as they''re in good shape...
They rust easy. lol
Or at least the ones my dad had did... Then again, they''re over 20 years old...

I used to carry one all the time when offroading until I got a winch.

i never used one on the trail. i guess i just dont trust mine, but i have used it to pull the axle out of my buddies 00 mazda 626. for some reason the axle wouldnt slip out like it should so we bolted the come along to the wall and the other end to the axle and ripped it out. worked out pretty good
