Ugh! Does not sound like fun.
My motto is
"No task is complete until I bleed on it". And I do so with amazing regularity.
I keep a 6 foot collapsible ladder like the picture below in the rear bumper, where the "stinky slinky" is supposed to go. The ladder fits perfectly - snug enough that I added a piece of nylon strap to pull it out. It has come in handy several times. They also make an 8' version, which I keep in a shed at home.
