The problem with the above picrured hand winch is the very short pull............if your stuck 20meters into a bog its not going to help but to pull you back a couple of meters after getting beached im sure it would be fine. You'd need a ground anchor aswell really.

This ^ Ive used a hand winch before when my mates truck was only just stuck, was a lot of effort just because you dont want to save up for a winch. The hand winch you linked from ebay looks abit flimsy. Handle looks like it will twist because its 2 bits of flat plate put together.
