How To Hook Up Lights To A Go Cart

4x4 Driving Techniques - Use the winch (II)

For Hermit
The anchor winch is any object firmly fixed to the ground, a rock, a tree or another vehicle braking well.
But if there is none of the above, we must devise a way to make an anchor.
There is always the possibility of being alone and stuck in a lonely road, so be sure to have the elements to implement at least one of these anchors.

Anchor with stakes. This solution is fairly easy to implement and if it does not steel stakes can cut some timber to make it. Bury is problematic if you do not have a good hammer and dig them up, same story.

The string can be replaced by the ribbon of fire. The trunk can be replaced by a hard object, such as fire extinguisher.

The main objection to the anchors in general, is its size, weight and how hard it is to take in the always crowded 4x4.
But when the time you need them, grateful to have been cautious and have at least some of the solutions described here.
