My first experience in snow on mud roads was without chains because I was overconfident in the all-terrain tires on the 4-wheel drive rig I then had. We got stuck. I then put my only set of chains on the front so I would have steering. It was dicey, but we were OK. People with chains on all four tires had no problems.

Also, my chains had those little ice teeth on them [sometimes called V-bars or ice-bars] and it helped a lot.

If you can find a set of chains with side-cams, it makes installation/removal much easier.

I hope this helps keep someone from getting stuck.
