Re: Pismo Beach CA Winching Demo
Doing the straight pull thing was brave if the winch was on the smaller end (below 9,0000 lbs) considering the MONSTER tires on the stuck rig. I believe using a snatch block would be a good idea if you ever run into this situation again. I know, I know. Hind site is always 20/20. Good looking out for our fellow wheelers out there, though. 'Leave no rig behind'. Props to ya!

Re: Pismo Beach CA Winching Demo
Aren't you suppose to put a jacket or blanket on the winch line for safety reasons?

Re: Pismo Beach CA Winching Demo
We were using synthetic line so no need for a blanket or jacket on the line. If we wanted to double our pulling power we might have used a snatch block, but after conducting a stuck assement we found no need for this.
