Most of the people I ride with all carry a Harmon High Lift Jack. When someone gets stuck, jack it up, throw some snow under it and go. I know, I know, who needs a jack? I laughed about it too, until I started having to borrow one. Definitly one of those 'don't diss it till you try it' items. Your argument, my vote is for feathering, ease it out.

We were arguing about this so bad on our last ride that it almost came down to a fist fight...
When i'm stuck, or when just starting out, I tend to feather the throttle, and get the sled up on the snow a bit, then, hammer down, and ride. The guy who we were riding with (first time in the mountains) knows everything about everything, and of course, he was right. He was getting a buddy unstuck, and told him to just "hammer on it" right off the get go to get out. Seems kinda counter productive to me... I also realize that, depending on snow conditions (Ie. spring snow) his way MAY work.
NOW, as we all hate being stuck, what's all of your tips/ tricks for getting people un stuck?
For those of you that have the jack, do you ever use the strap with the hook? This is really the ticket when you're stuck in a draw or somewhere where uphill is in 3 directions. Hook it to a rail or something in the suspension and lift her up and basically spin the sled around. It is very helpful to ride with Wild Bill often. His famous words, "Lets go get stuck!"
