They're not havin' a larf. A bread basket cut in half will get you out of the clag better than those yellow slippy things which can tend to take off when you get wheel spin.

I’ve had bread baskets, I’ve had milenco mats, and I’ve thrown both away as I found these. Bought a pair, then got myself a second set as I liked the first ones so much.

Bread tray/basket you need two.
Cut the sides of and cut in half so you have one for each of your 4 wheels. Don't make the mistake of just putting them under the driven wheels (front ones on a Fiat) as the other pair of wheels will sink into a hollow making it difficult to drive off soft ground.

you just use the base cut the sides off

All looks good. There are several mats there.
Which item did you get?
Top middle or bottom?

It's not a wind-up, they work a treat if the ground is a little soft.

What other items do people carry just in case?

Top item. The middle looks great, but a very heavy. The mats I bought are light easily stored, and have worked ell in use.

Know a lot of Funsters swear by the simple bread basket and I 100% agree it has its place.... it is strong enough and large enough to place under wheels to stop van sinking into ground whilst parked up and therefore allow you to get momentum when leaving pitch.
However IMO they are absolutely useless at providing any sort of traction if placed under wheel to provide traction when stuck.. For that you need PROPER traction mats/sand ladders or similar.
