Has anyone ever tried carrying a hand winch? Maybe the come along style winch. I have seen those bigger ones for forestry with a motor attached, those look too heavy.
My thinking was just for those horrible stucks, maybe inside a tree well, or if you bike is flipped upside down on a hill and you have to go up and you are all alone.
I had one time last year where I was at the back of the group and my bike fell so its side was downhill, and I couldn't flip the whole bike downhill. All my buddies went down this really steep hill and it was really tight trees. They weren't coming back. I could lift the bike about halfway up, but then my feet would just sink deeper in the snow and I couldn't get the bike righted. I eventually got out, but it took me a longggg time and I was totally bagged at the end. My thought was if I had a come-along I could have hooked it to a tree and the handlbar and just hoisted the thing up.
Anyone ever try that or something similar?
