Yep. Bury the spare for an anchor or use an actual boat anchor. Walmart has
them fairly cheap. The kind with the flukes will dig right into the sand.

You can also carry an old axle shaft or two. Drive them into the ground to
pull to.

Heh. I was wheeling with my brother in our respective TJs and I got
high centered BAD on *something* in the middle of the creek I was
crossing. The Jeep wouldn't budge so I called him on the radio and
asked if he would be so kind as to serve as an anchor for my winching
operation. He was ahead of me a ways, so as he is turning around to
come back, he gets stuck himself in some mud. Since he was still way
out of winching range from me, and because he didn't have a winch at the
time, that was not good.

This was a mudflat so there wasn't anything good to hook to, but off to
one side a ways off were some clumps of trees. Using most of my winch
cable and a short strap, I hooked around the first clump and promptly
tore them out of the ground. Finally after looking around, we found a
more substantial clump and it took all 100 feet of winch cable, my 10
foot strap, my 20 foot strap, and about 6 feet of my 10 foot chain to
reach, and fortunately they held. Unfortunately, I mangled the 20
innermost feet of my winch cable due to the angled pull and being unable
to unwind and respool it straighter (there was a pretty good current and
I was up almost to the door openings in cold glacial melt water). To be
honest I was just happy to get out, and then winching out the other Jeep
was a non event.

The next week I ordered a Pull-Pal land anchor to go with my new winch
cable, and after cutting off the bad part of the original cable, I had
an eye swaged onto that end. I do not intend to have that same problem
again.
