winch cable? I'm sticking to Jeeping in pairs.

Re: winching techniques
 

NEVER wheeling alone is what most of us do, making the scenario you present
a thing that never happens.

As a rule of thumb, not only should you NEVER wheel alone, you should wheel
with two other Jeeps. If 1 Jeep is stuck, and there is only 1 recovery
vehicle, that vehcle may not be heavy enough to do the recovery. Remember,
the winch will ALWAYS move the lighter load closer to the heavier load.
Weight can be created by blocking the tires, and that sort of thing, or it
can be created by strapping two Jeeps together.
