Side story: My Dad once worked for Pacific Bell in the 70's and they had International[2] trucks with a winch. One night they need to go up an Oregon mountain road in a blizzard to fix something[2]. They got stuck in the 4 wheel drive and basically hauled the truck up the mountain road by using the winch to pull it up. One would walk to the next pole or tree and then they would pull the truck up. I guess they really needed to fix that thing right then. 1) A truck that was as impossible to destroy as it was hated 2) I never really heard what they were fixing, I did hear a lot of cuss words referring to said item.
