Re:
I'll second using a 5,000 kg snatch strap - that's what I have and have used it successfully to pull my car out of some fairly deep sand (completely bellied out at one point).
I'll also second using the screw in eye bolt - again, used this a few times for both snatching and winching. For snatching I attached the strap with a 3.75T bow shackle. A note on them though - only use them to pull straight forwards, and gently. When I was bellied out, I got on the shovel for a few minutes to clear in front of the wheels meaning the car in front of me just had to idle out (actually prior to digging, then just tried to snatch as is and got themselves bogged - a good case for getting on the shovel first regardless!). I also found the eye bolt had started to come undone after the 5 or so recoveries I had, so check on that if you get recovered lots on one day.
