I run Duratracs for this reason. Has plenty of knobby for mud and deep snow, but has the siping for wet and packed snow and does reasonably well on road. Having the severe weather rating and a decent mud rating will always be the determining factor for me with tire choice for my truck. I live in...
To be honest, put proper tires on most 4wd vehicles and it will get you there. The rest is great and all, but, this reminds me of the last time I camped "way back" in the woods. Talked up this out and away spot to my wife, got all back in there, we round the last curve..... Honda Oddesy Minivan...
I'd like to add about chains is to make sure each fall you practice installing them a time or two. when it's cold AF and snowing is not the time to try to remember how they go on.
The thing to consider with an Oreiley's battery or an Odyssey is there is a good chance there is an Oreiley's nearby if you ever have issue and need to swap it out no matter where you are. That was my thinking when I swapped an Autozone gold AGM battery in to my truck.

MaxTrax would have been ideal, but, were ordered, but not delivered to me yet. I would have been able to self recover quickly had I had them. This area was a spot that was logged 2 years previous. It all looked to be firm ground, but there was a dip where it was mud covered by grass. 10 feet in...
Keep in mind, any "winching" with a come along is going to be in the reverse direction and not forward, so, in theory, the forces involved are greatly reduced. This is where my comments of only needing a Nudge to get unstuck come from.
I'll give my last stuck as an example. All I needed was to...
What PSI are you running your tires at? Have you done the chalk test to figure out what pressure you actually need? More then one handling / ride issue has been as simple as too much tire pressure.
