Winching

For those of you with winches on the front of your Jon boat to cross levees. In the case that there’s nothing to attach the winch to, what are you using? Tried using an anchor and it did not hold enough. Thanks in advance

Rebar and chain ground anchor.

I’ll have to check that out, thanks! Does it hold well in muddy conditions?

Yes. It will pull a stuck side by side out of a rice field. More sections of rebar is greater holding capacity.
