ive read where some are running into troubles getting stuck in some of our fishing holes.. just a quick note that this is a great and cheap and portable item to throw in your boat or vehicle for those trouble spots.. plus it even aids in loading and unloading in good conditions..  can be mounted in place of your manual winch on your trailer, or, tie around a tree in emergency to help pull you out of  a jamb... you can even slip it on your trailer ball and keep your vehicle up on high ground and winch your boat and trailer up and down the hill or into mushy launching situations

Where did you find this and what's manufacturer?  I have needed that before!
