Almost EVERYTIME we go to the snow in our jeeps/buggys we end up pulling 5+ ppl out... we don't complain or [censored] it's part of going out and having fun and helping people.
I agree, getting stuck, getting un-stuck, and helping others out is more than half the fun
The only reason I was upset was because of the Snow Cat operators attitude. In contrast I was more than happy / excited to help recover the stranded Toyota.
May I suggest a winch extension as well as a tow strap if you don't already have one... you could use the winch extension for what it's made for and also the 30ft tow strap as an extra long tree saver to pull from those far away trees or vehicles.
Off the top of my head, here's the list of recovery gear I had in my Jeep:
1x 100' winch cable
1x 20' tow strap
1x 30' tow strap
1x 8' tree saver
1x 20' tow chain
1x Come Along
1x Folding Shovel
1x Bow Saw
1x Hatchet
3-5 days worth of food water, shelter and clothing.
As I mentioned earlier I could have gotten myself and the Toyota out. It would have just taken me an extra hour or two.
We had 2 other vehicles in our group that could have gotten my co-pilot and I off the mountain. Unfortunately they were too small, and just barely couldn't get close enough to aid in our recovery efforts
The only reason I continued on was to help pull out the stranded Toyota we found.
P.S. Looks like it was a great day to go play in the snow with your quad
