Re: Winching - What if question
The idea is great, however...can he comfortably carry the weight of the winch to the
other end of the vehicle in mud to his knees (or deeper)? I thought of that, but very quickly realized that I cant manage the weight of the winch if its not on flat (non-slippery) ground - but thats a personal thing, and also depends on which winch you have. A lot of you guys can manage it just fine. In a pinch, if I was desperate, I think I would run the cable under the axles and pray I didnt screw up anything important. Better yet, slowly bring the nose around with short pulls at an extreme angle (respooling the winch between). You carry a snatch block, right? that can help a lot when the pulls are really sharp and awkward, if, you have a place to attach it to.
