I also do not like to get stuck, especially if it is cold outside. I got stuck on a road in Vermont that was not maintained during the winter. It took a few hours to get out of the deep snow and was not fun.
I also carry most everything that I can to prevent getting stuck or to help recover anyone else that gets stuck. The most recent use of the equipment was to pull myself backwards off some large rocks that I was crawling over way out in the mountains of California when they choose to break into smaller pieces and leave me high centered. I have mounts on the front and back for my winch mounted in a cradle. I also carry straps and a heavy tree saver strap. I was able to wrap the tree saver around a large boulder buried in the wash and use it as an anchor to pull myself back off the rocks.
