I carry two items, an air pump which plugs into an accessory outlet in my truck, and a simple hose on which both ends can screw into a valve stem. The air pumps are limited in terms of how much air they actually pump into a large truck tire, but they’re better than nothing. The simple hose allows me to “borrow” air from my spare tire to partially fill perhaps the two front or two rear tires depending on the circumstances (as I mentioned above about letting the air out of your tires, that doesn’t necessarily mean all four. You might be able to release air from the front, rear, or a side depending on your situation). I also carry one of those can of flat fixers which contain compressed air with a sealant for repairing flats. I have never actually fixed a flat tire using these, but at least they contain a little extra air.

Another technique for freeing yourself from a sand trap is “rocking” the vehicle. It’s a bit rough on an automatic transmission, just be as gentle as you can. Easing the throttle while putting the vehicle in drive followed by shifting into reverse again gently giving a bit of gas and repeating this maneuver can get you out of sand, mud, and even snow.
