The response I quoted assigned "100% of the blame".Of course I did. He was too fast even if it would have been less stuck and rolled out. From my post on this page:
"Yes, pulling through uncleared deep snow was an issue along too much speed."
First and foremost before any recovery was attempted, the shovel needs to be used. Sand, Snow, Mud - it doesn't matter. When the substrate completely engulfs the wheels and frame, no amount of horsepower is overcoming the suction.
After clearing the tracks, traction boards (if available) would have been the best attempt. Leaving the traction boards in place, Caleb's winch attached to the rear recovery point of the Jeep should have been used to break free of the suction. That alone should have been enough to get the wheels free.
The SS/KR should have been the last action of the recovery.
If an after-action review and blame is to be assigned, at no point should 100% be assigned to the gear.
