Gosh, as crazy as it sounds I wish I could go back to being stuck and try this technique. I tried using the boards along with a shovel to dig myself out, but I gave up because it got dark after about 30 min. I decided to walk to the highway and hitchhike to town. The next morning I paid a repair place about $130 to pick me up, drive me out, and then winch me over the dune I was stuck on. I stuck the boards under 2 tires, but couldn’t get any traction or movement at all. Perhaps I placed them at too steep of an angle or not far enough under the tires. This was my first time to ever drive in sand, so I had no clue what I was doing. Either way, I shaved down the bumps on the end of each board when the tires spun. That’s when I gave up and walked. I had no cell service, so the last thing I wanted was too be stuck in the wilderness later into the night and miss a possible ride by a nice person on the highway.Yeah, I was about that deep. Maybe 2 inches less, and crawled out in about 4-5 minutes. How'd those ramps work? I have a set also but havne't used them
