Beemer started a thread on Winching and Obanboy666 advised caution because of the extremely devastating results of cables snapping. I grew up in a mining community and all the miners had a tale to tell of when a Panzer conveyor chain snapped. I know a guy who survived being hit buy it. After about two years he could get around fairly normally. The thing that reminded me of this story was when the other day I got the van stuck on some wet soft grass. I ran a cable to the car and tried to pull it out but with full power nothing happened. Did not budge an inch but looking out of the front of the car I wondered what would happen if the hook came off the van. It was on the end of a long cable. I cut the power!!!
How about some safety tips. I know we should use the correct strap with ample breaking strain but nobody ever has one when you are sinking in the poo. Even if you own one, what's the chances someone has borrowed it or its a foot too short?
