I don't have a winch yet, or friends to wheel with frown but want to carry something to self-rescue, primarily in snow. I have a Hi-Lift, a couple shackles, and a 3'' tow strap. I was thinking a good option might be a chain that I can attach between the cruiser and Hi-Lift, with the strap on a the anchor point. From here I could use the Hi-lift to ratchet myself out.
Is this a good idea? If so, what should I look for in chains? Are cheap 3/8'' chains okay for this application?
I'm looking at getting a Bog Out, and will eventually have a winch, but in the mean time this seems like the cheapest option.
