With a winch comes the need for a pulley or two, rated shackles, tree trunk protectors, cable dampener of some sort, a Bush shirt works here.
Before driving anything that may end up with you requiring a winch to recover yourself, check out winch anchoring points, exits etc. Make a recovery plan FIRST, before driving an obstacle. Remember a winch bolted on the front of your 4WD can only tow you forward further into the sh*t. (unless you own $$$ of gear and can execute a rear pull).

Brass monkey fridges from Jaycar etc are good value.

Consider recovery tracks and a good spade and mattock, hand winch/tirfor
Good tool kit, spare parts, belts, CVs, oils and fluids
puncture repair kit.
So much more

Thanks for that… homework to be done. It’s all pretty daunting, having no mechanical expertise. But everything can be learned!! Good points about the concept of the winch in general… makes me think we just need to have our heads on straight about where we should be going… and where we should NOT be going more importantly.

Cheers,
