Thanks for the replies.. this is going to be real winter stuff. So there's no soft ground or muck. Whatever the ground is, below the snow it's as hard as bedrock. So no chance of digging in a ground anchor. It's cable round a tree, or waiting for a passing vehicle as far as I can see.
The Tirfor looks to be the best option, but the 3200 kg ones are big and heavy, as is the rope. Plus I'm thinking that a lot of the time I may be hundreds of metres from a tree. That said it's the forestry tracks I'm most worried about where trees should be in abundance.
Waffle boards sound like a great idea. Maybe an exhaust airbag jack to lift the truck out but by bit with the help of some shovelling of snow under each wheel?
Cheers
EO
