Stuck in Sand
If you ever get stuck in dry sand there's an easy fix. (Note that this doesn't work well/at all with wet sand.)
Pile as much sand against the buried wheel as possible. Then jump up and down on the closest corner of the nearest bumper (or if that's not available, push down as much as possible on that corner of the car to bounce it).
Keep rocking the car like that, each time the suspension hits the top of its cycle a little sand seeps under the tire. Little by little you'll "jack" your way up onto level sand. You may have to repile sand several times.
I used to go four-wheelin' in a 2WD truck out in the loose, dry sand in Florida all the time. This little trick will get you out of stuff a winch won't.
