When you take your spare tire , attach the winch to it , and bury in in a hole about 1mtr deep some 25mtr in front of the car , you'l need nothing like a tree or pole to get going again ,... just don't forget to fill the hole up and really bury that tire .
It takes some effort , but would give some great off-road action shot's .
Oh yes, we know that trick, but we haven't done it yet! We look for trees, but we should have more courage!
