Great Tips Good Stuff Very Clear Understanding 👍 Thanks!
Great instruction
- at least a bow-shackle can be thrown on a soft shackle (to support a snatchblock at the tree anchor - Or recovery ring if preferred... - same as all recovery points - anchored metal is no problem - flying metal is bad.... (some hardware option is a good thing.. (Rope Thimble, hard shackle, Recovery Ring, Soft shackle - recovery point inserts.....)
Love this mate... you've totally convinced me to ditch the hook. Cheers
KISS is always the best idea... :) another great video.
I thought your video was so good, that I gave it the thumbs UP twice. 😁 (Only joking)...........
Gold Cobba! Love it!
Soft shackles are the future. Much safer than all the other options. Use a soft shackle to join the extension rope to the winch line.
I was thinking about buying the warn sidewinder. Would that eliminate the d ring/bow shackle?
I don’t have any metal parts on my winch line anymore. I have a spliced loop on my winch line and use soft shackles exclusively. It’s much safer.
Where did you get the snatch strap connector
do you store the winch rope against the fairlead with the bowshackle?
Always used just a bow shackle myself. Never liked hooks & didn't take me long to turn the Runva thimble into an anchor for my kayak.
The stuck zook...had me wondering, then I found it in another of your winching video in August last year...Tell us about the zook sometime.
I have a shackle at the end of my winch as well.
shackles or soft shackles are the only option we use.
Isn't the winch line creating too small of a radius for the soft shackle?
New tech is cool but i will stick with my properly sized bow shackles. A bow shackle used properly will last forever and can take more abuse. Accidents happen when you overload things. Don't do that and you won't have problems.
Just buy factor 55
So you like NOT having a hook at all at the end of the winch rope? Because right now that's what I'm thinking
