Learned this in Saudi Arabia. We were in a military humvee in the dessert and got stuck in sand as fine as soft snow. A caravan of camels was close by and a few of the Saudis came to our rescue.

They laid prayer rugs under our wheels. Worked like a charm.

I got stuck on ice here in Tennessee. Laid the truck's floor mats under the wheels. Worked like a charm.

I live on the side of a mountain in Colorado and have had to do that to get up the hill in front of my place. It really works well.
