Winches... pfffftt.
If you have a winch... you only use them for other people.
I have a couple of real nice tow straps for that.
And a "Come-a-Long" for serious-er stuff.

If you're really looking for an adventure, check out Usal road, from where Highway 1 cuts inland winding North toward Honeydew. Now completely unmaintained, bring a winch ;-)
Debbie wasn't real happy with Mattole Road.
After I sent some pictures to our son... he said "That's an awesome road!"
Love the Lost Coast of California!

When you enter this road it takes over an hour to come out the other side - it's one of my favorites
Is that the road to Honeydew, California?

There's been a resurgence in analogue photography recently and people are doing creative things like shooting up old expired film for cool effects. I know someone who opened a film lab that did pretty well through covid. He scanned some old slides for me. Scanner had great resolution and good automatic dust removal which worked well.
I found a big difference going digital was having to learn to leave space for straightening and cropping, since I didn't have a dark room and rarely used custom printing with film. Learning to take lots of shots was kind of hard - electrons are cheap.
Yes. I was going to learn photography professionally, but I reclined the job (apprenticeship). The company - back in the early 1980s - they had cameras that were as big as one room (several cubic meters), so large were the films they used to make hq-photos for printing in magazines and books. They worked for editors comparable to National Geographic, only in Deutschland (DuMont).
And the post-editing of the film negatives was all done by hand, with pencils.
It is also, why I prefer the GIMP software these days.
I have several friends who still shoot on 35mm and/or 120 film pretty often. Some of them have a darkroom, or access to one, others just send it for processing. There are some good labs around - I'm sure there must be good photo labs where you are too.
To me, the biggest change is that you don't get any "do-overs" or previews like you do with digital cameras. Of course, the resolution and detail is incredible compared to film as well. Depending on where or what they're shooting, the people I know may bring a digital camera and a film camera to a shoot. They can get lighting/value/composition previews with the digital then shoot with the film. I still have a few exposures left on my 35mm Minolta to finish up.

I'm the same way. I'm not so far away from the time I held a transistor radio to my ear and rode the magic carpet. Of course the quality matters. But so does all the prep work.
Same, same. I remember putting up the microphone to the radio and press "record" on the cassette-recorder (two buttons). But you had to catch the right moment - very intricate! Otherwise the guy on the radio would talk into the next hit-song, and sh.......t. And then, all over again next Wednesday night, when the charts would be played again on SWF3.
I was 12 yrs. old I think.......... and it feels like yesterday.
They didn't have that technology in my transistor days. That was future stuff lol. Gosh how did I get here so fast lol.

I do have a great respect and love for this. Same as for folks, who try to get the best out of analog music, like kurtster does. For me though, I think I am a bit too lazy for all this technological bustle anymore. While I have always kept cherishing the audio and the visual sense-input and their human make-of, both have been a hobby for most of my life, I think I'm getting too old to bother with all of this anymore today. I simply take advantage of newer tech. Maybe also, because I know my way around bits and bytes. Hey, my lifetime may be shorter than I think... not knowing, but that's why I'm kinda lazy with this.

I've kept listening music based on mp3 for some twenty years exclusively... all my analog records and most of my CDs I gave away. (Same goes for my analog cameras.)
