Paradigm shift, Ratchet Straps can be disassembled. I swear I’ve never considered taking one apart. What a brave new world you’ve made me aware of.
You just made my day! As an electrician ,I've used them many times for pulling very heavy cables into facilities (three-phase 750 kcmil 500ft) so i knew they were strong, but for whatever reason I just couldn't picture it being able to do longer pulls until you wound that sucker up LOL I thought you were going to use it kind of like a tugger or a capstan, with five wraps and then just let the excess go off the side. But that was great! I've already got a couple taken apart and I'm about to go out now and pull a mini van out of the mud, can't get another vehicle in a good angle to pull it out
Ratchet straps like you used are good and strong. I recently helped a guy get his Honda Civic out of a creek with two. One around a tree to hook the other ratchet strap to. The straps are pretty strong. You can also use the strap as leverage to pull the ratchet handle.
Great stuff sir 👍🏽
Throw in a snatch block, double the pulling force and not a big item to keep on deck.
Yup, I noticed he did have a small b,oak hanging from the end of his, he just didn’t mention it. He could have ripped the four wheel in half even more had he used it!
Put a small pulley on the load thus doubling the pull, also an extension handle for the ratchet.
Also Know your tow points and don't over load the line or ratchet or you may end up less of a man than you started
I can listen to your background music all day
Really practical, multi-use idea for us woodland handy-persons. Thanks bunches!!
Your ratchet strap conversion inspired me to take the cable off my fried winch and run it through a ratchet strap but I left the cable long (40 feet). Just slide the cable through the slot in the ratchet and adjust it to any length. I used it in tandem with a come-along to raise the welded frames for my shop! They are +/- 300 pounds apiece.
Excellent!
Dude! Great idea..i,m a trucker and some times you need to do a little load shift and the ratchet strap does it, but if you want to get smoother operation out of it, use a little wd40 . Slicks it right up and relases soooo much better
Cool Triumph shirt. I did similarly with a load binder ratchet. I used the strap since it was just for loading trailers but it works a treat.
By the time I got to subscribe, you done hit 250k. Way to go.
Good thinking on the ratchet strap I built the same one similar with cable couple years back works great thanks for showing us though keep it up
"liked" for the bubba gump/Karl Childers impression.
Good tip!
I have used ratchet straps for a long time as emergency extraction tools. This video is something I haven't thoughtb of, with the use of paracord-like rope. The only issues I had with using ratchet straps was the strap getting too many wraps and no longer usable, so I always had to use 2, one until full, then the other, in sequence, one after the other. This idea you have demonstrated looks like it would make my way obsolete. Thank yoy.
great idea! i am already thinking about getting one of those lever operated ratchet winches they use on semi trailers and weldng it to a reciever hitch to make a heavy duty version!
I'm in the UK, not sure which part of the States you're in but I spent a little time in Mississippi and Alabama back in the 90s and this sure gives me a hankering to go back there again
Ah, that's a good old airforce ratchet strap! 🙂
I have a couple ratchets that need some attention and that rope idea is awesome. Thanks again brother.
+Rawhide Adventures Tou bet Brothet!
You just made yourself a come-along .
Dude. This is so handy. You're a genius mate
+Irving Rodriguez Thanks!
bubba gump quad - hahaha! Like Garrett W said, I was thinking an extension for more leverage. Look forward to new front end for quad.
+Greyman The quad vid is a must now!
The Good of the Land A whole series of repairs & upgrades...
very cool !!
dad always told us boys , to learn how to do things on your own incase no ones around to help you , found myself lifting heavy things on my own periodically and I've come to love winches -- this is way cool / Thank you for making this video
+Brandon Stankevitz Thanks Brandon! Your Dad sounds cool!
Keep a pulley (snatch block) or two on hand and it will go a lot easier.
I just looked at a video explaining how to use two double pulley’s used for a young person to pull out a small suv from a ditch. Been there but no pulleys or anything in my big suv in the ditch with 2 feet of snow. Did not have my snowshoes either. My phone worked and I was able to get hold of a big pulley outfit: AAA
Now to go & git some supplies as I dun got an ole ratchet, Tks Jer ! Can't wait for your next install Happy Days Friend ! ATB Terry God Bless
+terry milburn Ha!
Nice job man! Gotta get one of those for my Grizzly tool box!
Man, that is a great idea! In NY they can ticket you for unsecured load if your straps are frayed. That 2200 pound cord would be great for replacing those straps. Liked and subscribed a ready
love the 4 wheeler... as is!! ...... great video, thanks!
It's a great mini come along awesome just awesome
+David Steinfeld Thanks David!
Congratulations on 20K! Man ya gotta love Honda engines! Great DIY vid!
+mdbigman Md, Thanks Brother! We were at 18k and lost 2k subbs. Kinda worried me a bit. SURE FEEL BETTER NOW!
Good job proud of yall.
Man I love that idea I've never thought about that before I've also opened up my own shop just recently here in Texas
+Jacob Alston Cool. Where is your shop?
Good idea and putting a small snatch block in there with would be awesome to.
Awesome video btw. Like your style.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
+BluegrassBushcraft You bet!
Thank you for the video.
Awesome thanks for sharing 👍👍😊
Awesome idea !😃👍👍👍
Holy crap that quad😂😂 great vid cannot wait to see the next on
+Dalton Gank Glad you liked it Dalton!
If you put that cord on a Come-Along you could basically triple the amount of rope pull! I like an earlier comment of making the Come-Along handle detachable as well to make it more packable.
The second video of your I watched...great content. God bless
It just gets better every time :D cant wait for the next vid.
+xaap Excellent! Like our facebook page and you can get a sneek peek at our upcoming vids!
You should sell these as _pocket engine pullers._ A great trick.
Super smart!
A little bit of grease would make that ratchet soooo much smoother
Very cool.
Maybe weld a small handle extension onto the ratchet handle for leverage. I'd be curious the breaking point for that setup. Genius idea. Greetings from south texas
+Garrett W I had that same idea! I wamt to test it to failure but i hate to ne standing next to it when it goes.
The Good of the Land totally understand.
An older gentleman, who was a logger for many years, taught me to lay a blanket, chain, etc over the line. It will reduce the chance of the line whipping around and hitting someone if it snaps.
Jaymes Moreland that's correct. We do that anytime pulling something with stored force. They make weighted blankets for winching a lot of off roaders use. That's one of the main reasons people are going to synthetic lines for winches, less stored energy. But you still should put something on the line to protect yourself.
Jaymes Moreland I do something like that when using a chainfall to pull anything horizontally, usually on heavy equipment repairs. I put a heavy moving blanket over the chain so when the tension releases the chain doesn't pop up and hit me
Very cool!! Thanks!!
Love your T-shirt,,,, triumph forever
Really,It's an appreciable thanks for the production-shown here & watched for more adoption tricks to apply objectives purposes with keen,and inspired interest e:t:c. today Wednesday 06/06/2018;Time:21:26 p:m. With more grateful & likeness in optional selective manner if in case an emergency need arises!
Nice hack dude. May have to give this a try.
+Hidden Meadow Farm -The Urban Homestead It works great! Iwould go up to the 3k strength. Plenty of room on the spool.
Another interesting, educational and entertaining video. I'm enjoying yer channel 👍👍👍🇬🇧
+mjcos1 Awesome! Thank you!
fantastic video!! Loved it.
+Jim Ellis Thanks Jim!
You have a great attitude
+akbychoice Thank you!
This guy knows how to do everything
+Tommy Craig Thanks Tommy! I Try to learn as much as I can every day and I screw up all the time! Isee you have a channel with some camping! SUBBED!
Congrats! You're over 20,000 subscribers now!
+JerkRice Thanks!
Very good Idea.
+John Capps Thanks John!
HAHAH Just found your TH-cam page checking out different stuff to do with my new 4 Wheeler. Thats a nice old Hona. Still lots of life left in her!! I just bought a 2016 Polaris Sportsman 850 SP. (well.. it' a year old now), but it has less than 200 miles on it still. I really hope that they make a twin cylinder Yamaha Grizz. They day they do. I'll have one. I went with the Sportsman for the twin Cylinder. Im about 275lbs, and I feel a lot better on a Twin Cylinder. I know a single is fine for anything I do, I just think that a twin runs easier carrying me around on it when it's plowing and what not.
Anyways... Great content, Liked and Subbed. Look forward to more!
+JackG79 I was just looking at the sportsman 850. Its a beast!! Welcome to the channel!
Well, if ya ever need one to borrow. you can use mine. But it's all the way up here in the Adirondack Mountains in NY. LoL
Very nice brother thank you so much for the video
+dj rayner I'm glad you liked it!
Kool winch idea, would have worked faster if the quad was in neutral so the wheels could roll 6:18...🤣
You're a stronger man than I, I wouldn't of been able to bend that pin
always good!
+DSG DSG Thank you!
I like this guy lol
I had to subscribe based on your skilled use of a planishing hammer and total misuse (maybe) of whatever that yellow thing was.
+Joe Wamsley Ha, thanks Joe. The yellow thing is a car clamp for our frame machine and is not ment to be used as an anvil😁
Well it looks like it worked.
I like this guy.
thanks
Here from Fortnine :) Great video, you got yourself a sub!
Glad to have you! Fortnine is a great channel. Was this video recommended by Fortnine or TH-cam?
@@TheGoodoftheLand ''5 Tricks to Rescue a Stuck Motorcycle'' By Fortnine, There's a comment by Stephen Cinch, Fortnine responds to this comment and recommends your channel :) Greetings from South Africa btw, I'm a survivalist down here, we have some major issues but i won't get into that on here. Have a lovely weekend!
Great idea!
But, i'd probably extend the handle a bit, for leverage.
I think it could easily be done!
+Stephane Bolduc Oh yes, great idea!
Genius..
Good idea nice size to keep on a 4 wheeler
+Nathan Duncan Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the new Atv rack
+Brian's Life I need to get that project started! Its been a month!
I really enjoyed the video thanks.
I didn't know I wanted one of those until now.
+JerkRice it came to me in a dream;)
Hondas never die
I like it
Sweet little winch.
used two strap rachets to get a car on to a car trailer with no winch.. tightening up the straps. then some one stands on one strap moves car forward, then the other person ratchets their strap then stands on the strap and alternate, was slow but we got the car on the trailer.
Haha! That poor 4 wheeler! At least the wench did its intended purpose... and more ;). I shared this video on Facebook. Congratulations on the success of your channel brother!
+Lone Star Living Thanks brother! Just what I needed, another project!;)
Lol great video mate 👍🏻
Nice idea! What was the diameter of the line and how many meters can you roll on your ratchet of it? Thanks, Frank
Thanks
Nice idea. You will never see the rope brake in this setup... the knots you chose will slip on this type of rope. Go for splices, this rope is really easy to splice.
Ratchet looked like it was an old military tie down. Used an old one I had for a ratchet many a time.
Awesome, maybe a couple rubber gaskets inside the Teflon to keep them in place
I laughed pretty good with that bubba gump bit.
The Media Is Cancer
Great idea with an old ratchet strap. Next time it might be quicker to lock it in the free spool position and use a drill to wind on the rope.
+ringerson4x4 No doubt. I was also thinking of adding a simple hand crank
hi from oamaru new Zealand. these 3 ton tie downs are $25 bucks n.z.d here. in fact they are the cheapest thing u can buy from a engineering shop and they are also way cheaper than smaller common city dweller motorcycle tie downs. the cheapnes I base it on the engineering and resources involved to make these things.
Ahh spare parts, lol 😂 congrats on the 20k subs, I'm still slumming at 600 subs 😒 lol. Btw I'm not sure if you ever ended up sending that homestead box, cause I never received it. Thanks for the video!! Take care Justin
+Portugee Prepper Box is still on my shelf! Sorry, just keep forgetting! Iwill ship it monday!
Awesome video man, you need an overhaul on that phone tho lol
+Jason Quinlan Ha! It is time!
How much dyenema rope can you get on( feet or metres). Thanks great video.
Any old lid off a coffee can, margarine tub or whatever would save all that money spent to buy cutting board plastic sheets. They are all LDPE. Low Density Polyethylene. I save them lids and use them a lot, for gaskets, shims, sliders, and more.
Dude that's an awesome idea the strap will take up more space then the para cord depends on what will be used
There are some good choices in my yard
Not to say thing bad but I think increase the size of the spool a bit
Frankly speaking ass kicking idea
Thank you
PS got lots of busted ones laying around going to put them to use pretty sure that there is nothing that can't be pulled or tied down and depending on how much like you may like to one day untangle more line better reach better then the cheesey crap out there now again thanks for your idea
+David Steinfeld I have some that I made with paracord and they wirk but the paracord has alot if streach.
That's not parachord. Looks like Dyneema. WAYYYYY different.
Bubba's lower lip. Hahahahaha. Dude, you ain't right! Hahahahahaha!
A useful little hack and congratulations on your 20,000+ subscribers! _(I think I'll pass on the bull-bar give-away :P )_
+Simon B Ha! :) Thanks for the support! Your are much better at it then my bumper;)
Hi just found your channel i like the idea to help my get my skidoo un-stook this was in 2017 any updates to this idea i was think i have a load of Paro Cord good to 500lb would that work any ideas would be great
Weld a handle on that part of the winch you crank on. Might help give more leverage.
one thing you could do is is weld a piece of pipe to the side of the ratchet handle. that way you can use another piece of pipe for more leverage and easier ratcheting. but good idea!
+lance henthorn Yes! Great idea. I could make it collapsible so that it slid in for storage.
Intro killed me i died of laughing thats a subscribe right there😂😂
Can you post a link to where you got that spool of rope.
Cool ass video. I'm gonna subbed just by this vid. Thanks for posting.
+Diego Fianza Thank you Diego!
The Good of the Land Ay, no problem...even though I'm conflicting about your t-shirt. I'm a die-hard Honda motorcycle fan (although I wished we, the US, built comparable motorcycles), but you're donning a Triumph shirt! But at least your have a Honda quad!
+Diego Fianza No Question Honda builds quality!
I just bought a brand new ratchet strap for trucks at hardware. 16 dollars AUD. It's rated at 2500 kg. I wonder if using 6mm dyneema rope? Would that work? The rope has over 2000 kg rating. Any reply appreciated. Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍top vid.
