Yup, married her. Then she stopped working.



seriously though. no, never used one. Here in new yuck, there are no shortages of trees or huggers to wrap a winchline around. So it has never been an issue.

I've used one. It basically works just like a boat anchor. Depending on the soil conditions they can be a life saver or a royal pain in the a$$.

Same here, tried to use them before but the ground was either too hard and it would not dig in well or too soft and it would not say put. Finally just dug a big hole and buried the spare tire.
