Interesting. Seems too simple to be true.

Do you know what they are worth?

If you search you tube you will find plenty of videos of guys tying bits of branch, fence posts etc across the tyre to get out of bogs

Lots of similar items available in the US, but that looks pretty quick and simple to fit. :D

 Works easy enough, but when it pops out the sand at 1:09 on the video it seems to be missing the rubber block as it goes around, and they back up so you can't see. I could be wrong.

Modern version of an old idea, but still good nonetheless.

Good to see that there are more alternatives on the market now that reduce the need to do a snatch recovery.

Yes it has gone Missing .. Pretty sure our local  Autobarn  store had some almost identical ones n stock the other day .. From memory about  $80  for a pair ..
For what its worth .. Buy a 4 pak of Ratchet straps [ will clog up with mud & sand though ] trim the webbing to desired length ...     Cut 4x 200 or 250 mm lengths of 50x50x3mm  Gal Angle iron weld two flats / chain links to suit the webbing size on the undersides of each  OR drill some holes near the ends and run some 6mm bolts with washers and Nylock nuts for a NO weld option and run the straps over that to hold them against the tire.

In that situation in the video.... a few minutes shovel work and lower the tyre pressure more, you'd likely drive backwards out of there.

As rumpig said, lower tyre pressure and he probably would not even get bogged, there was plenty of other tyre tracks, so most clearly were not getting bogged.
Stop spinning wheels when you stop moving, let some more air out, shovel away sand from low points and possibly use max tracks or another version and you would be out very easily and quickly
