I know y'all are from Western Australia but your teaching goes all around the corners of the globe. Thanks again for your videos.
fordrac1ng81 Thanks buddy, its is our intention too ;)
Right, mate. Old Ronny knows his bidness.
Uh, does a globe have corners??
@@applejacks971 Many skeptics believe the Bible references the earth as being flat because it refers to the 4 corners of the earth. There is a 3D animation that shows what the Bible meant when it refers to the 4 corners of the earth. *Even a sphere can be split into 4 corners.*
I am from Costa Rica and I can confirm
I can't tell you how great it is to see someone who really knows what he's on about in this area. This is exactly how I was taught to do snatch strap recovery.
The amount of gung ho cowboys out there doing everything so wrong and dangerously is scary... Not using recovery dampers with bystanders standing right beside the vehicles or between them, using tow balls, not using bow shackles, just using makeshift tow ropes with no elasticity, etc...
Thanks to this video, I was prepared and confident when recovering my mate a couple of days ago, whose car was about to be swallowed by the ocean. I had all the gear needed, and rescued him safely on the first attempt. Thanks Ronny 🙂
The two dampers is such a great idea and makes so much sense. More people need to see this video
Mate thanks for making these videos. It only takes a tip or two and many problems can be avoided.
Great demonstraion! I'm using tow strap from Miolle and i definitely recommend this one. I pulled a guy's truck, trailer and boat out of the water because he didn't have 4wd and no problem with the towstraps , very durable and easy hook up.
Thank you for all of these videos. I am new to four-wheeling (I got a Jeep Rubicon after years of driving sports cars), and there's a bit of a learning curve. Learning how to properly use a snatch strap was one of my questions. The snatch strap was one of the first bits of kit I purchased after getting the Jeep, and while I don't do much serious off-road driving myself (yet), I expect I'll need my strap and shackles to help other motorists this winter here in northern Canada. Great videos. Very educational. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.
Maybe I'll be pulling you out with my 12000lbs. winch up here in northern Canada. Eh! You attach the tow hook?

Hi Ronny . love your vids so much great information . could I please get your opinion on this . you mention in a few vids to never ever use your tow ball for recovery but you offer a square recovery insert shackle point instead of towball. so is it just the tow ball it self that is no good . so I don't have a square removable Tomball. so if I took the bolt off n took the tow ball out I could just shackle to the hole where towball goes through. u get my thinking . cause if that insert is OK then the actual tow bar framing is OK to use for recovery I'm thinking . I hope u understand please reply . thanks mate
Yep, the tow bar can handle it but the tow ball itself can snap - it's not rated for the load. Swapping the ball for a rated shackle would be safer, just remember to use a dampener on either end and fill the pockets of the dampener with some weight to keep it on the ground if something does let go (looks like Ronny forgot to add weight to the dampeners in this video, but other than that he's done it perfectly).
Snatch Strap Recovery Tutorial Video including useful tips
Finally a video that supported my logical thinking. It made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever how so many people only use one dampener. Especially in the middle without determining whose recovery point is going to be the weakest.
Best off road channel on CZcams hands down!
You got my sub Ronny. I've been off road-ing as long as I've been driving (25 years) and I thought I knew it all. Never knew about strap dampers... what a great tool. If the strap or other piece does fail.. these will help direct them to the ground quickly... awesome! Getting some. Everything else is spot on and the way I've been doing it. Nice Cruiser btw. TOYOTA!!
Great videos. Your captions say pulling vehicle in 1st gear and pulled vehicle is in 2nd gear. Why 2nd gear?
Kicking it ol school. Good brush up. Thanks Ronny.
Hey Ronny, I'm learning so much watching your videos! Keep up the good work, greetings Argentina, South America😎🤙
Excellent video, particularly the way that you explain why you are doing things in a certain way.
Good job!
I recommend your videos to people that I go wheeling with. I can see that from your knowledge they are more effective and safe.
Cheers from Oregon
A great video, remember Safety is paramount in these situations, I am very pleased you mentioned not placing a snatch strap over the Tow ball, the amount of people who still do not know this is staggering, might pay to mention the SWL for the D Shackles being 4.6t, very informative and easy to follow...now subscribed.
Great video, I dint knew there were two different snatch strap. thanks Ronny..
Great video! Definitely investing in some Snatch straps. I was stuck in some sticky mud and let someone else attach a regular tow strap to my truck. And they hooked it up all wrong and almost pulled off my bumper. Which my recovery points were attached to the bumper bracket. A snatch strap would have helped a lot more. And better recovery points which I'm going to fab up soon. And I have a new rule, only I attach straps to my truck. Keep up the great videos, they are quite helpful!
Thanks for the helpful info! Learned a lot all the way from Virginia, USA.
texas here. GREAT VIDS.
Thank you for the straight forward information.... I'm new and I learned a lot from this single video...subscribed
I do use different towing way that would not load much weight on the transmission and differential shift gears. This way is to tie up the strap in both cars. Then back up closer to the stuck car so you can have enough strap lengthy tow. The last step is to hit the gas pedal on a good speed that could tow out the stuck car. Before the strap is getting tighten, take out you foot from the pedal so there will be no much load on the gears. I hope that is good for off roaders
Very informative, direct to the point....I learned a lot... Thanks
Finally someone does it correctly. Well done...
Great Vid Ronny. You explain how the strap works and how to use it. Not just a lot of talking like the other vid i watched.
I have seen many people suggest just using the pin but nobody has mentioned that you should really get a grinder out and chamfer the edges of the receiver and polish it up a bit so there will be less likelihood of the strap being cut.
Good video. One thing I learned in Rope Rescue SAR, however, is that a running rope abrading on another rope or strap is not permissible as it can potentially saw through by friction. Instead of running that rope through the tow strap loop directly I would put a shackle or something in between. Then you don’t have fabric on fabric friction.
love your work Ronny and Brian
Just watching this...good stuff!
Thank you for the information I learned some things I pulled a Wrangler out of the snow the other day with a strap I have with my F150 because I got stuck a few times with my Jeeps when I was younger I really need to know about safety and your video was helpful I subbed to learn and prepare more!
Thanks. Quite a bit more technique to recovery than I thought.
Thanks Ronny, I loved all your videos. A Big Hi from Algeria...
Absolutely fantastic demonstration! Learned a few solid tips here and you have another subscriber! Keep up the great work, thank you!
hey mate you have some of the best 4wd vids on youtube.
EXCELLENT demostration mate !
Ronny Great video again. saying hello from Pasadena California USA. keep up the good work and keep those great instructional videos.
Wow great video. Who would of thought so much goes into this.
Hi Ronny great videos could you please explain why the recovery vehicle is in 1st low and the vehicle getting recovered is in 2nd low.
I watch a video just before and they said the other way around. Thanks
Keep up the helpful videos
It's because towing vehicle HAS traction so 1st low will give the most PULL. Stuck vehicle in 2nd low because you want to "help" itself out and put less stress on the recovery vehicle. 1 low will just spin the tires and keep her stuck, counter productive.
Great video mate. Didn’t know that about the 3 pulls and the strap getting fatigued. Makes sense though
Hey man, i thought i knew a fair bit but im learning heaps from your videos. Im in NSW and i drive a suzuki sierra it goes great offroad.
Keep up the good work homie!
great video. I think you should use 2 dapeners also. Only other thing I can think is to tell people not to use a chain especially to jerk.
I agree that tot balls are not for shock loads, but they are not mostly for vertical loads. When pulling up grades they do take the whole weight of the trailer. I see what you mean though that they equal death especially the lighter ones, personally I have used one that is rated for over 12,000lbs in a situation where I didn't necessarily know better and it worked fine although now that I know this I will definitely just use the pin.
My and my friends love your videos 😎. Cheers mate
Always the best source of information. 🙏🙏🙏
Great video, MATE ! I'd like the return of the old-fashioned crank-handle for starting, especially off-road. Why? An automatic with a flat battery could be started. Also, when a manual has a flat battery stuck in soft sand or on a boulder field, it'd be very difficult or or even impossible to push-start it. In low-ratio, it can also be used to hand-winch inch by inch, when a very delicate manoeuvre is required. My main off-road experience was gained driving a Russian military jeep - GAZ 69, in Ethiopia, especially in the Danakil Desert, where there are grotesque lava fields, dunes, salt marsh, boulder fields, deep erosion fissures, you name it, all with temps up to 50 degrees and at down to 180m below sea level. This desert was a notorious leaf-spring-and-half-shaft breaker for the Land Rovers of the time - 1976.
Great video. Thank you from the Seaside Oregon, on the sand🏁🏁👍😊.
You should do a video on how to use a snatch block and different techniques. I've heard reverse pulls and sideways pulls and so on.
Awesome stuff Ronny! May I ask when you demo how to connect two recovery point at the front of the Jeep, 1) how long should the strap bee? 2)what kind of strap should I use? Cheers mate!
Love your work Ronny!
Man I love this info man. Thanks for all this.
Love your vids Ronny - very informative
I keep two of them 8 ton nylon snatch straps with me for redundancy when driving on the beach. I've never had any problems pulling anyone out with a strap breaking. You sure don't want to be getting rough with another person's vehicle, and you don't want to put another at risk of getting hurt. These guys down under have their act together.
Glad you mentioned never use a tow ball Ronny. First heard about it's dangers at a 4WD meet during the early eighties.
this is so much better than the tjm video
you are such a genius! so happy i subscribed. these are critical tips. awesome vid!
Thank you very good video thats what I like to see common sense put to work 👍😉
Extremely good tips
A little late finding this but excellent video, subscribed ! Hope you don't mind me linking it to a group that needs the info badly.
Super helpful and simple. Thank you so much
You're welcome!
great presentation,,,,i think,,,,,couldnt understand a word he said,,,,but i followed along with the action
LOL....yeah gotta get used to that thick accent.
Great video very informative 👌🏻
Thanks for the video.
Nice controlled recovery!
If both vehicles have their own snatch strap, they should also have at least two dampeners each. Therefore it makes simple sense to put all four dampeners on the recovery strap being used.
فيديو ممتاز يوضح طريقة السحب الآمنة
this is awesome info. thanks so much very clean and clear. so you would recommend at least having 2 straps just in case you over use one in a situation?
Hey guys,from the USA. You guys down under are cool,ya'll do some very cool stuff,and aussie is a beautiful country,I need to come visit.
thanks Bob Ward yeah we are lucky to have have such huge unpopulated & remote areas. Australia is like a giant Alaska just a lot bloody hotter and dryer ;)
Do these types of recoveries do any considerable damage to the jeep? I always worry about pulling someone out at the risk of my own vehicle. Thanks
Awesome. Thank you for the class!!
How do you avoid stalling if you’re the vehicle pulling? Take the car out of gear before the rope pulls back or pushing the clutch in?
Awesome stuff Ronny, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for this info mate, great video. Very informative
Excellent Ronny!
I'm educating myself for more off road and an around Oz trip, so that it's not a total disaster, we all have fun and get home safe.
A question please - What's your opinion guys, snatch strap or maxtrax?
Maxtrax seem so quick and easy and you can do it solo. So I'm wondering when you'd use the snatch strap option.
+Bill Blinky they both have their purposes and place, I'd suggest getting the recovery boards first as you can use them with a solo vehicle. Snatch Straps require two vehicles...
Snatch straps are cheap for what they can do so get both if possible.
Roger that.
Can you suggest a web site for me to shop around for recovery gear?
I'm think if I buy the shackles, snatch strap, Maxtrax, dampeners, etc, I may be able to get a bit of a decent deal.
What are the reasons behind you guys choosing 1 Low in the Wrangler and 2 Low in LC?
Thank for the video. I have been unsuccessful finding a bridle. Any suggestions?
Great stuff 👍
Fantastic video and tips!. Thanks!.
Thank you Ronny for your great videos. Can you provide some info on the bridle rope shown?
Another great video keep them coming
thanks mate
Thanks you for info
Thanks mate! Nice and very informative video
thank u! great information
Great info, does it change in cold climate, snow?
The shackle pin needs to be fully set the old practice of backing off pin is wrong and reduces wll of the shakle
I know a lot of people that could use this video... I know too many people who just pull with the bare strap. No dampers and no proper recovery points.
put the bow not the pin in the recovery point first if possible to avoid friction
Very informative video. Well done. I have a question regarding the use of a hitch in recovery. I have seen many people use them and then many more suggest they aren't to be used in recovery, they are strictly for towing. Can you elaborate more on that please?
They would be referring to 'the tow ball' which you should never ever use for recovery! The tow ball needs to be removed completely. Then you could use the pin with a rated strap OR buy a Reece style recovery point usually around the $80 AUD
Very cool ..and great info..
What is a good company to buy rated recovery points from? I have an 06 Tacoma. Where is a good place to mount them without a skid plate getting in the way?
Great demo, thanks Ronny. What is that rig that your front antenna is on? Looks pretty serious.
Please try the new kinetic recovery ropes. You'll love them. Stretch much more, like 30%+, rather than 10% with a strap. 1-1/2"' kinetic rope good for 74,000 pounds. Bubba Rope is one brand. Great, honest mice people to deal with.👍🏆
Soft Shackles are a new thing, to. Much less dangerous than steel shackles and stronger. Gator Jaws are a brand.
Thanks again Ronny
If I have an automatic, should I move it from drive into 1 or 2?
have you done a video on what the danger zones are?
Hey ron can u plz do a vid on ur exust sound, gauges and chip thanks mate i always find ur vids helpfull and awsome to watch
Thanks Adam Elrich yeah there is one in the making, I expect it to be done over Dec-Jan.
Ronny Dahl thanks mate keep up the vids love them
good info Ronny, thanks
Excellent like to see a deatil video about the SUV you have
