ok, I'm beginning to believe you don't think much of the Come-Along community.

We are proud of our accomplishments and our struggles, its a hard life...I am just waiting for the chance to save myself or some other adventurer from certain stuckness with a tool blessed by God when he inspired Abraham Maasdam of Deep Creek, Colorado in 1919 to invent it. You will all rue the day you ridiculed the proud traditions of this admittingly small sub-group!
Why would you use a come-along when there's a 2nd vehicle available? You guys know they make guns if you want a workout and they are far more effective?

Been doing freestyle for several years never had a need, and of the people I know that are more serious than me have never even used the winches they have... would be a lot of money and weight to haul around just in case, at least for me.
Money very well spent the 1st time you need it and find out the lack of steroids in your diet (yes that's just an assumption haha! ) leave you unable to pull your Jeep out. Using one of those on a rolling surface is much different than using one when stuck in mud or high centred or pulling over large rocks. That said I used to carry a 15000lb mine hoist used for removing tires from heavy equipment with me that I used as a come along. It probably cost more than a winch and it worked very well. I watched a winch fail, then extracted the Jeep with the hoist when pulling with a 2nd vehicle was awkward due to position. Sadly I forgot it in the woods one day many years ago. That thing you posted is hot trash. I've seen them fail twice, as in do absolutely nothing.

I kind of think of it like Glamping...its not really camping. If you use a power winch or another vehicle to get unstuck...that's not really off-roading, you are missing the real experience.

PS. please don't make me dig this hole any deeper...

That's what you'll be saying when you're stuck in the sticky mud too🤣
