There is nothing wrong with having a winch. I just think its a expense I don't need to make. When I completed the Hazard Analysis Section of my bug out plan there weren't any scenarios that required a winch. I know my destinations. I know the natural and man made disasters that can happen in my area. I know the conditions at anytime of the year when I might need to get to my destinations. I know the main and alternate routes. <br><br>My biggest concern is debris blocking the way. With tow hooks I can rip most obstructions out of the way in seconds. With a winch it can take minutes. <br><br>If, in the process of doing your bug out plan you discover you need a winch, get one. <br><br>So you see captain Its perfectly logical.
