I only had to do this once, about 25 years ago when I got stuck at the edge of a wetland on the Canadian prairies. Nearest tree was a mile away...
I chained up the spare wheel & tire, and buried it (vertically) as deep as I could in a slot I dug in the waterlogged soil because I needed a LOT of surface area to pull against. I then used the come-along to pull the truck get as close as I could to the tire, then I dug the tire up, then buried it again as far at my my meager collection of chain and tow straps would allow.
I think I had to bury and dig up that wheel & tire about 5 or 7 times. Did I mention that I got a
long way on the marshy ground before I got stuck?
Definitely not recommended! Since then I go more prepared!
