The unstuckers are a cheap version of a winch that the Canadian forces tried out. The majority of the Canadian M151A2s had a plate on the hubs of each rear wheel. If you got stuck, you then attached two spools of rope to these plates and attached another rope from them to your anchor.
I never saw the rope spools when the M151A2s were in service, although there were plenty kicking around in the Iltis era. Can't say as I have ever talked to anyone who actually hooked one up and recovered themselves. One could call the unstuckers either a piece of liberal era canadiana, or else you could call them a joke.
