For the most part I drive a Subaru with snow tires for bird hunting. It gets around pretty well, gets great gas mileage, and since the majority of the miles are highway miles on winter roads is a lot safer than most anything else on the road.
However, if I know I will be venturing out into the wilderness a little farther I step up to the 94 Land Cruiser with lockers, off road tires, tire chains, winch, lift, rock sliders, and a full set of recovery gear (including a steel grain shovel). It also has a set of dry clothes, winter gear, and a survival kit to include a stove, food, water purification, bivvy bags, and lots of other stuff.
The subaru has a lesser set of gear but does have the basics to include a light snatch strap (to get yanked out of something, if the rig breaks down it has to be flatbedded), the survival bag and winter clothes from the land cruiser, and other stuff.
I avoid taking land cruiser hunting unless I think it will be needed, the gas mileage is REALLY bad and I'd much rather put the highway miles on the vehicle I can replace. I can easily replace a 2013 outback, they aren't making solid axle land cruisers anymore (at least for the US market).
My eye opener was several years ago out deer hunting with a buddy in winter. We took his truck and couldn't make the hill to get out of the valley we were in on a seldom used forest service road. Went to chain up and his chains didn't fit his tires. All we had for survival was the basic set in my hunting pack and it was getting dark. That was going to be a cold night!
Luckily somebody came along with chains and he intentionally spun out up the hill to get a dirt track we were able to use to get out.
. The shovel. When stuck in the middle of nowhere it's worth it's wait in gold (so to say of course).
