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 ****** block, right? that can help a lot when the pulls are really sharp
and awkward, if, you have a place to attach it to.

Re: Winching - What if question
It seems to me, that if you are buried in mud, you might have trouble
getting the cable under it.
Most factory reciever mount winches are pretty light.
I have used my winch to drag the front end 90 degrees and set another pull
to get me turned around.
