And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
About 40 years ago I took 100 ft of 1/2" nylon twisted rope, cut it into thirds and braided them together with big loops on both ends (learning some sailor rope craft). I kept that in my Scout 800. Hook it up, back up and touch bumpers with the stuck vehicle, then take off and get going as fast as possible. As light as that Scout was, I could still snatch out full size pickups up over the axles in mud. With a tight braid that rope would act like a giant, gentle rubber band. Worked every time.
