      @@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 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...

    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.

    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!

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.

      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

    • @malloc11
      @malloc11 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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).

  • @hazlbri
    @hazlbri 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @jewelhome1
    @jewelhome1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @liberty9348
      @liberty9348 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

  • @chrissybabe8568
    @chrissybabe8568 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    Hi sir, when using a bridal to perform a recovery on a vehicle that doesn’t have rated recovery points and you must use the factory tow points can you use an extension strap or the tree protector strap as the bridal? Then attached to a snatch strap or winch
    I’m just learning as much as I can before I hit the tracks thanks
