The problem wasn't "cheap Amazon stuff" that created this incident, it was not taking time to connect the kinetic rope properly. A high dollar American made soft shackle would have failed also since the shackle had its minimum bending radius exceeded as well as being pulled against a relatively sharp attachment point. There's a reason gear designed to be used with soft shackles are radiused and contoured. You broke a few cardinal rules of recovery: don't be in a hurry, share the pulling moment between two attachment points if available, use a shovel to remove whatever is blocking your tires to reduce the force required, and don't use soft shackles at attachment points designd for D rings and bow shackles.

Are you pulling your Bronco with your jeep! Way to plan ahead!

An armchair quarterback might point out 7:53 ~pulling you back into ditch. He should have been way over to the left [his left] side of the road.

Another great video!!

I don't hat anyone says, I appreciated the video.

This is hands down the best review I have ever watched on CZcams! Thank you for taking the time to look into this. PS: As a mechanical engineer who specializes in heat transfer, I was thrilled to see your temperature measurements and Morrflate's design refinements. Morrflate has earned my business, and you have earned a sub!

Appreciate your efforts!

🎉

What a great review and I ton of info!!! You are awesome!

Now it gets 10mpg. U must be proud.

Are you pulling your Jeep with a Bonco? Close to getting a thumbs down my friend. Not a good way to start the video. :P

I'm almost positive I passed you guys heading out as we were heading in on the Princeton side. It pissed rain all weekend and some snow up top, it was a blast

Hell yeah man, hope the channel thrives

The clevence cut your rope, soft shackles aren't made to go through them. Should of put a hard shackle on it and than use the soft. I see folks try to put slinks through shackle lift points all the time over the years. Fastest way to cut a synthetic line.

amazing in depth info on the products.

Interesting and thanks for the honesty...I'm no expert, but maybe use more then one pull point together, if possible, and don't buy cheap stuff made in China....and of course, slow is better.....good luck ;)

how did you get the bolts out by the crossmember where the exhaust goes right under the stud bolts?

Where in the world did you get that from???

dream car

Nicely done review!

They are still Chinese brands, only difference is the auto feature. It’s funny how they think they made the actual products. Amazon has the same repeat tools but different brand on Amazon

You are a brave man taking a 6 month old and a 2 yr old wheeling. I've pulled my hair out on road trips with my own kids when they were little.And that was on highways with plenty of opportunities for rest stops along the way 😂

Man, looks like a great time! I'm working on an off-road trailer build right now. Thanks for sharing your mishaps.

This was a very well done video sir. Thank you so much for going down the rabbit hole, getting the info and sharing your knowledge with all of us.

Always did the trail in the reverse of what you did (Dicks Cabin first and end at Lodestone). Curious on how it went coming down the hills past Lodestone your route? Great video. Even for a Bronco.. hahaha Kidding.. I have seen a few trailers there but normally at least as wide as the Jeep.

I love my Milwaukee M18 inflater. Not only does it inflate all 4 of my 34-inch tires on my Toyota Tundra, but sports balls, air mattresses, beach balls, balloons. I also have extra lithium batteries with a rapid charger. And I can also power my 1/2" high torque impact wrench, 1/4" hex impact driver, 1/2" hammer drill, flashlights, circular saw, hackzall, cut off grinder, and many more tools to use around the house and not just offroading 👍

Jeeps are tools I mean bring tools for jeeps. 😂

Great video

Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. I have a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT m13a petrol engine from 2001, all original, which I use to travel through fields, forests and mountains on agricultural and forestry roads used by logging companies.

Very cool video, I seen u guys out there . I was in the blue tacoma in the rain that climbed the big hill after the ranger and bronco😊 u guys all had nice rigs. We tented it and did the whole trail in the rain both days . There was nothing really challenging there even in the rain . Ide personally rate that trail a 3/10 in difficulty in the rain . We did do a trail out by vernon 2 days later that was about a 7/10 and was about a 80km stretch. All in all it was a epic 6 day run . Glad to see u all made it out and no break downs .

Backwards! Upside down! Spills! Thrills! No hospital bills! Good times on the Whipsaw. 😄👍

Hello! We are interested in what you have posted. We have some automotive related products. Do you accept sponsored products?

Like the vid. Rule number 1. Dont bring trailers. 2 Travel light travel right. 3 just get a few tarps and make a big shelter and fire when its raining. No use in hurrying to beat the rain. After all your canadian. Crack a beer and deal with it. Im from washington if it raining we just drink more beer and smoke weed. Camping while its raining is kinda happens here. Another rule. Stay in one spot for a day or 2 or 3 days relax and enjoy. Why be on the go. Drink beer and sit by the fire. Dont need to drive all day just to get to the next spot. Then while your at it you can look over your rigs for any issues instead of something going on while your on the trail. Shit happens i know. Preventive maintenance is a plus. Did i mention not to bring a trailer?

That black pw and little tacoma completed the whipsaw just fine. Lol

Great video, Caleb!

Awesome…Thanks for sharing brother. Were the Canadian Attack Cattle the only large animals you ran into?

I was there nice vid btw this is Eric's kid

Another great video Caleb!

omg

I just got mine. About to install. Thanks for the video

Well many lessons learned and shared . I would not have thought a rope would have gone through the windshield either . Glad you're ok 🙂

Seems like these 3 are the Baofeng of air compressors.

A small thing in the large of it - I would never identify that camo box as a First Aid kit no matter where in the car it was. A red or white cross on an opposing red/white background color is universally recognized as First Aid. Very good and insightful video though, thanks for sharing this.

I hate what you went through and everyone needs to hear this. But my friend none of us have an hour to sit down and listen to you. Tell a story that you could have told in 10 minute... I've never seen someone dramatized something so much in my life.

Great detailed installation process! The Mini Jeep looks even more perfect with this off-road light.💯

Great After-Action Review. It seems to me that you were simply TOO stuck to be pulled out like that and it simply broke at its weakest point. the damage to your front bumper says so. Had the soft shackle not broken, you would have pulled your front bumper off (which may have actually been better for your chin) - you nailed it on the first half of the video. Digging out or maybe pulling again backwards would have been better but hindsight is always 20/20. That being said, I'm updating my kit to have more gauze pads. Thanks for sharing.

Napa has a Laborday sale, just ordered my MTWM10215C for $117 shipped after taxes. I've previously used a Viar 88P in combination of a Ryobi 18v inflator. Thats getting old. I'll do a pressure switch and braided hose/coupler. Wheeling with a budget.

There is very little stretch in the soft shackle. In a situation with a short bend radius, the force is concentrated in a small area of the rope diameter
