It's not a good day — your vehicle just got stuck in the mud. You should have been more careful, but what good does it to wish away what is at this point? Unfortunately, you don't have many supplies either, except for some rope. You must be out of luck.

Actually, you're wrong. You may have heard of the Flip Flop Winch, which is a remarkably innovative device that can assist you with removing large items that are in the way. Using just some rope and logs (which you can find in the wilderness if you happen to be stranded), you can use this pretty slick device to get your car unstuck.

Constructing this useful winch can also help you get cars stuck out of the mud. Bingo! Mors Kochanski, who many known as the “Godfather of Bushcraft,” helped popularize this incredible design.

In fact, there is also evidence that shows that this useful winch used to be used by the British Army during WWII. They used the winch to get stuck vehicles out of trenches!

Learning how to make the flip flop winch is one skill you shouldn't pass up. Take a look at some how-to photos followed by a video after the break.

I promise learning how to master the flip-flop winch is something you won't regret!
