I had a 25' chain and a good come-a-long but no where I could reach to hook on. I cut down a skinny, dead tree about 20' foot long and used it between the chain and the come-a-long. That gave me the length I needed to reach a tree that was strong enough. <br />I then used a log and another tree to make a fulcrum to lift my truck out of the muck while my buddy put limbs and bark under the tires. It took nearly 4 hours but we got out.
