Since you are in the woods a winch would be ideal to pull you out of the mud. Plenty of trees to winch off as well. Also a hi-lift would be useful when you belly out

Everyone has done it! Lol
I tried driving over a snow drift when it started to melt into a slush I didn't hit it fast enough and just burried the axles :whistle:
A winch could if easily got me out but instead I had to wait for rescue
deffently getting one for this winter

Yeah a winch would be really handy. I guess I could also use it for pulling trees about, and to drag the trees out of the boggy areas rather than having to drive in and get them 
Zookfastback- The trailer does nearly track behind the Jimny, and in this instance that was the reason it got stuck. The Jimny had already cut through the 'crust' so the trailer just dropped in. Weight wise the loaded trailer carries slightly less axle weight than the Jimny, and the tyres are a similar width. I know what you mean about sharing the stud pattern but finding trailer hubs in 5x139mm is not easy so I'd have to machine my own.

a winch is invaluable
we got bogged down between to fallen tree trunks
couldn't get out with lockers and muds and a biggish lift so out with the winch
note the depth of the hole I dug behind the rear wheels :blush:
