Improve Traction Under Drive Wheels

What happens here

To improve traction, place materials under the drive wheels. Good options include sand, cat litter (non-clumping is best), gravel, or even the vehicle's floor mats. Position these materials directly in front of and behind the drive tires, ensuring they are firm and offer a surface for the tires to grip. If using floor mats, place them carpet-side down so the rubber backing provides grip against the snow and the tire can grab the carpet. Specialized traction mats or boards are also available and highly effective.

Goal: Provide a grippy surface for the tires to get out of the rut.
