Riding out a storm in my tent and getting stuck while solo in Idaho mountains

I set out on an unplanned trek into Idaho, get battered by wind, rain & snow while camped on a mountain, and get stuck multiple times trying to get back down in the dark. Good thing I finally got that winch set up and those lights wired up!
