Just curious of "what tricks" people use to get there ATV's unstuck in slush or deep snow out on the lakes with out any winching points. ????
In the past i have drilled hole with auger and inserted a 2x4 in the water across bottom of the hole and used a small rope from 2x4 to the winch cable....it works but very tricky getting 2x4 down the hole and even harder to get it out again, especially as ice gets thicker !!!!
I am wondering if a hook used for carring haybales would work just hooking it on edge of auger hole ???
would be easier and would only have to drill holes 6-8 instead of all the way thru ice, and wouldn't get wet hands or arms messing with 2x4 method. or should i make some sort of "land anchor" modified to hook into auger holes ???
Curious too know what others use !!
