Important Note for vehicles with automatic transmissions:
If you leave your vehicle in park you risk wedging or
damaging the parking sprag. If you are really in a bind and
have no natural anchor points or other vehicle to anchor
to, you can bury a log or your spare tire deep in the ground
with a Choker Chain attached to create an anchor point.
The same can be done with a large log. This type of anchor

Do not use vehicle power or movement to increase force
during winch operation.
