    The block could help-but you may need else to increase the force you want to aply to loads in the bush.Come along,block and tackle or a strong and handy friend,who is there when needed.

    As for your question about "don't you need a Winch to use a snatch block?"
    NO! I just need a rope. The longer the rope the better. The longer the rope the easier it will be for me be cause of two things.
    1) The longer the rope the farther I can reach an anchor point.
    2) The longer the rope the more snatch blocks I can use in the system..

    I've got to add this also to my original response. The area around my cabin is made up of farm land, several lakes and bush. It's not remote per se, although it would make for a long walk if broke down or stuck and there is cell service available. I don't worry too much about striking off to my hunting areas, all within a couple of miles. The gear I listed is what comes with me when I'm out in the boonies heading to a few back lakes fishing. Most important for me when I do, is the buddy system. I don't head out alone. My fishing partner and I rely on each other for safety when venturing on these forays. Depending on where we decide to go, it could be as far as 20 miles from our truck, and no cell service. Broke down in that situation by yourself could be serious.

    Anyone who strikes out alone into the woods should learn how to build a flip flop winch. The flip flop is quite simple to put together out of chunks of wood and has yanked me out of some situations where otherwise, it would have been a long walk back.

    How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

    A hand bow saw, tree strap and a first aid kit on top of the many mentioned things.
    And if your ATV is belt driven a spare belt.
    And spare spark plugs.
