get vid right to the point and not a butch of BS fluff to drag the vid out. much appreciated.

#4 is very easy to get undone of you put a piece of firewood or branch in their

That last knot was like some kind of voodoo magic.

Method 3 and 4 are the same. In 3 if you just twist the strap thats pretzeled. It ends up lookings like #4. Trust me. I have to use sling and restraints on all the pipework I use in the oilpatch. These slings have different ratings and uses. But the splicing is all the same.

It might look fun but apparently unless you've got a immaculate ride that you don't mind getting a little bit dirty they don't want or need you anywhere close to their place. My best friend found out first hand in his '97 Wrangler sport. They told him it wasn't old enough to ride they're trails. I'm calling BS!!!

Extremely well explained ! I was all over the place before 😂....saved for future reference. From India....

What about looping one thru the other and shackle both ends on the hook on truck

I would only use a hard block and Crosby shackle, in my opinion the only use for soft shackles is for joining straps.

I am not a fan of soft shackles with the exception of joining straps. I use Crosby bow shackles to attach to my tree strap or vehicle anchor. The weakest link on mine is my synthetic winch line or the winch.

Use 2 straps v from each other u have 4 hook points it works on short distance recovery

This was the best design and made in USA hitch gearamerica made, they have since changed design and no longer specify if it’s made in USA.

Are these products now made in china but designed in the USA? I can no longer find the same hitch I bought 3 years ago and it no longer specifies on the sites with markings of made in USA.

Great explanations and safety considerations. Thanks a ton! Your knot you said won't come undone? You need to check out a MaddMatt video on how to work with the strap knot. You'll be glad you did bro!

Very good! Thank you.

Great video! I have a question though. Is a hitch tow hook better than a ball?

When used as a bridle, will it fold or kink the rope?

If you knot up your tow strap you can get the knot out by banging the knot with a hammer against concrete. You have to keep turning it and working at it but it will work. Great video

I am enjoying learning about your products. PLEASE address your audio levels mismatch. Tough on speakers - brutal on the ears. Also, I hope you've got a better mic setup - you want a lavalier style. (RODE or SHURE)

I cannot believe there are only a few comments and so few subscribers (so far) on your excellent channel! Great information and an excellent walk-through of the products with brief highlights of specs and applications. (I hope you have addressed the BRUTAL assault - your intro and outro audio levels did to my speakers and ears. Hot by 35%?) I stil subscribed, liked and notifications! :)

What chinese province are these "GearAmerica" products made in?

So when do you choose one over the other?

3:35 I like method number 3 Just bought 2 straps there 20 feet long each, in case I need to put both together to get 40 feet even better never know when might need both together good video thanks. 👍🏻

The pin isn’t the weak point? How does the pin withstand so much?

My bmw e46 is down it's a 2001 330ci 5 speed manual.. it's down rn... my brother and I wanna use a tow rope to get it home.. my car is around like 3,400 pounds, he's using his pontiac grand prix 2008 to pull my car... my tow rope working load it's 2,200 pounds and breaking point is 6,800 pounds... it's the SURE BILT tow rope from autozone cost me like 17 bucks... is this gonna be strong enough to pull my little bmw?

Thanks for posting. I enjoy using your quality gear.

What gear should the anchor vehicle be in? Reverse or parked?

Super nice block

Hey Chris. Love your helpful vids and GA products. Hate to keep harping on this but your Canadian website has very little inventory on offer. Hopefully this can be resolved soon. Thanks.

Why are so many calling this shackle shown in the video a D-shackle......it is a Bow-shackle! A D-shackle looks different!

The first thing that crossed my mind was ; put one loop through the other , then pass any sturdy piece of wood through that “thru-loop” , thereby blocking the loop from escaping . Peace , Coop

I had to look up when I bought mine. It's been 4 years on my vehicle as well. No sign of rust.

Wow, thank you!

Hi l watch the video on the fatality that was all over the internet. The calculations with the truck plus being in mud was 18000 lbs. I have a 2010 Ram 3500 mega cab. Will your mega Shackle work albeit rated for 16000. I want to use my truck for pulling medium size trees on my property and for helping someone who l may find stuck and to tear a old double wide mobile home apart. I'm looking at the 30 foot kienetic rope as well?

Shackles very very very seldom fail don't understand why people take the chance adding a soft shackle that like we saw in the wrecker games and many other channels fail and tear up stuff especially when connected to a snatch rope

Nice presentation. Love your products, wish Canadian web site had more choice and availability. Thanks Chris.

Shackles never came off of military vehicles for 40-50 yrs and they didn’t fail so…. Buy quality

What’s a great way to attach tow strap to a frame? Will a soft shackle be big enough to fit around the frame?

I would like to know a price list for a 30-foot kinetic rope

It’s hard for me to not use my snatch part because I’m leery of the ring wearing out the soft shackle since there is no inside bearings and only friction. What’s your thoughts with long term use of wear due to that friction rube from the ring

Acronyms simplified. Thanks for the great content. Have driven 4x4s for years but never bothered to do a deep dive into recovery. I started to recently and regret not doing so before. It should be a requirement for all 4x4 enthusiasts considering the safety element. I look forward to following you guys. Thanks Gear America, all the way from South Africa.

Hi, are they made in the US?

Any chance you will get these Ultra in the same color of blue as the Mega and the Uber ? I only see them in black and red on your website and these are just gonna hang on my truck 24/7 for looks..... so wanting an assortment of colors including blue and green and would love to get them in this Ultra aluminum. If not i see all colors of your mega on amazon sold by you & shipped by Amazon and I'll just load up on those i suppose. thanks

Saved to my favorites, i think i'm gonna order these for my Silverado. I don't do a lot of pulling, i just love the way they look and the anti-theft part of it.

Why not use the kinetic rope to tow a vehicle down the trail?

Pretty much the same as I’m running. Just need to get a few more things to thin it up like the ring and some more soft shackles.

What are ya doing for the bar oil that leaks from the chain saw?
