Luckily I've never been stuck in the mud where it was wide enough or
deep enough to prevent using a hi-lift and then stuffing everything
but the ex-wife under the wheels. For sand, you can often air down
a bit, jack it up high enough to start dumping vegetation, dry brush,
etc. under the wheels. Even better is a roll of heavy mesh plastic
fencing and any nearby rocks, vegetation, floor mats, etc. If you
can get inertia you can usually get out. Snow also works with
shovelling and the heavy mesh plastic fence...or just wait for
spring.

Re: winching techniques
> What's a bruce anchor? one of those sand screws?
Here's a couple. They are used for sand or soft mud. They dig in well when
pulled laterally, but can be lifted out vertically without too much effort.
One would make a great conversation piece on your bumper.
