    Man, I love the fact that you take the time to break down the information. Alot of guys doing recovery videos just say a bunch of bullshit because they are paid by a company to sell their stuff even if the information is untrue or the products are unsafe. I have learned so much from your videos that I never thought I would need to know but I am much safer now that I do. Keep up the good work man and God bless you for trying to keep people safe!!

    I have watched probably 50 or more of your recovery videos. My wife asked me today why? She knew I don’t want a jeep or to drive thru swamps or climb hills in an expensive 4x4 vehicle.
    I told her that I enjoy watching how you solve mechanical engineering problems.
    If you don’t have a degree or two in Mechanical Engineering you certainly have learned enough to teach - not just get a degree.
    I enjoy watching you w you solve problems in extremely difficult circumstances.

    I appreciate this video and the effort you have taken to keep us all safe. I have questioned some of the same practices that you have pointed out. One major point this video seems to miss is when it says that Rhino USA buys their products off the shelf in China and performs no testing of their own. Right on the front page of the Rhino USA website it says their products are "Designed & Lab Tested in the USA." That is American engineering. While one can argue against using Chinese labor, I did not see this video repeat the "Designed & Lab Tested in the USA" American engineering aspect nor mention that Rhino USA was asked about it. Instead, this video just puts out an unsubstantiated claim to the contrary. A video like this has got to be squeaky clean or else it damages its own credibility, falling into the same general category as the videos it is criticizing by presenting half-truths or straignt out false information. Clean these issues up and you've got a strong, even-handed safety video! Thank you!

    Great video! One comment about the tow point you mentioned on the Honda. I am not sure if the statement "those points are meant to be pulled on" is universally correct. I for one own a car where this is only partially the case. It does have two attachement points, one in the front, one in the back (these are "screw in" types though). The manual states, that the one in front is ok to pull on as long if you are pulling straight, explicitly for situations where the car is stuck. The back one however is NOT meant to be pulled on, and by the looks of it only is rated to be a tie down point (during shipping I suppose). Visually, there is no way to tell them apart though, so I reckon it's not the attachement point but rather the fact where said point is mounted on that is the limiting factor here. For that reason, I think it would be wise to take a look into the manual before pulling on any OEM attachment point on a car.

    @MikeBaxterABC 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The safe working load varies depending on WHAT the rigging doing. Towing is the highest, then overhead lifting is much lower, then lifting people (as opposed to cagro) is the smallest as it has the highest safety factor calculated in.
    The safety factor for overhand lifting is egaly 5 times the breaking strength, so if a sling is rated at 5 tons breaking strength, it is rates at ONE ton for overhead lifting, this is pretty much standard for lifts, and riggg on OSHA Covered work sites in North America.
    The rated strength of towing or vehicle recovery is not standardized, some manufacturers use the same 5:1 safety factor .. while many feel 4:1 is safe enough ...
    The old Military Rating was just 2:1 fr towing and recovery. .. Some soldiers say that's for battle conditions only?? ... And use 5:1 for non emergency recoveries, but it's hard to pin down.
    The other thing more important than just number s is experience, and Florida Off Road Recovery, has plenty of experience, I would trust the figures he uses for towing and recovery, ratings any day!
    I just thought I'd ad this info, I worked in the rigging and lifting for may years under construction site rules, and am still licensed .. I worked on several recoveries when I was in the Military.

    @joeylujan3173 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'll admit that I have their tree saver straps. When I first got my Jeep and started looking for recovery gear, I liked that the company was started local by a father and his boys. They seemed to blow up shortly after I got their straps. I admired Wes and how he was willing to help recovery stuck vehicles for free. At the same time there were a few instances when I knew his techniques weren't what I'd consider ideal or the safest. I commented on the Facebook page asking about manufacturing their products here in the USA and they mentioned they were going to make more of their products here but that doesn't seem to have come true. Another company with a similar name, Gear America, does the same thing. I have since started buying only US made recovery gear as much as I am able. A few things about your video, while you're correct about the breaking strength vs load strength but when is anyone going to use/need to pull more than 14k lbs.? If you need to pull that much, I would hope you spend more than $25. Your video implies that 14k lbs isn't enough. You mention tow straps and kenetic ropes but didn't mention recovery straps which do in fact stretch similar kenetic ropes just not nearly as much and do not last for as many pulls. Having Rhino USA recovery gear is better than no gear at all but it's definitely in your and our country's best interest to buy US made.

    • @OffRoadRecoveryLLC
      @OffRoadRecoveryLLC  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Wes loves bragging that he does free reacues dosnt he?
      But how can you say they are free while being paid to perform them for free??
      Almost like saying an police officer came to help you when your stuff got broken into for free
      But that’s their job so was it free??
      They will do anything to block bann and prevent anyone not pro RhinoUSA from helping anyone
      Because they use the whole free free free thing as a sale pitch
      We have been to hundreds of jobs where those free guys failed and charged “fuel” fees and still call themselves free
      It’s all smoke and mirrors

    Today I returned to Amazon a Rhino USA rope & 2-shackle + zippered pouch kit I bought for $180, a good price (I thought). Sold as new. But I am keeping the Yankum rope I bought, which by itself cost the same but did not include shackles and pouch. The Rhino kit arrived on my doorstep directly from Rhino USA, in its retail box identifying its contents, not an Amazon box. The box was in good condition and sealed. When I opened it and took out the rope for inspection, I found evidence of prior use ... soft and distinct indentations and black marks, as from a D shackle. So as much as it pains me to go with the very expensive Yankum rope, plus a couple of soft shackles purchased at additional cost, my first experience with Rhino USA is my last.

    I was at the RhinoUSA several months ago and it said the KER strap was 80% polyester and 20% silk. Today it says the straps and 100% nylon. Maybe they got the message. It does not say where the nylon comes from or the type of nylon. High grade straps/ropes are PA Nylon 6 or 6,6

    Thank you. I use to drive a semi truck off road and people would get mad at because I won't participate in unsafe practices just you are showing us here. They would bring out a chain with a working strength of less than 5000 pounds and want to snatch a loaded (80,000 pound) semi truck out of the mud with zillion horsepower skidder. I would tell people, you are f-ing insane if you think I am going to be anywhere near the triangle of death when you go to snatching on these loaded semi truck. When a chain come apart under those kinds of forces, it's like it's been shot out of canon. There is not much going to stop it; especially flesh.

      Just theirs
      And I didn’t say it was

      @@OffRoadRecoveryLLC so what about it being a recovery strap makes it a stretch strap? You do realize the strech straps are nylon same as the ropes, poly tow straps are just that, a flat tow strap or can be used as a tree saver, you know somewhere you want a static load... and if you knew about materials you would realized the silk makes the poly blend softer, more pliable and easy to use/handle than a solid poly strap....
      like i said before maybe you should focus more on proper use of the gear available rather than trying to pick a fight with a company because they have them manufactured overseas.... and i do 100% agree their marketing team needs to start using working loads when talking about the product, NOT max breaking strength....

    A comment about using mini J hooks. I have seen several damaged frames working at a dealer. And most manufacturers say these are tie down points while some stating flat toe only. Would it work? Maybe. Situation dependant. I would trust your discretion with what I have heard with the resistantsliding scale.
    I would just add that disclamer to the video so no one tries to recover a car sunk to the frame in mud, doubling the vehicle weight.

    • @IndependenceIron
      @IndependenceIron 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The mini J hook part lost me too. First off frame damage is highly likely, and secondly the G70 Mini J Hooks are only WLL at 4700 vs the axle strap at 3700. Not much a difference there. Both are really intended for tie down and not recovery. And that little tow hook he points out on that car in the video is also mostly a tie down point. Snatching on that point risks tearing a hole in the spare tire well!

    Thank you! I've just purchased "Rhino USA" Kinetic 7/8 x 30' rope and1/2 x 20" soft shackles. After your video I'm not sure about using them. Do you have a recommendation for USA made products not as expensive as Yankum ropes?

    • @OffRoadRecoveryLLC
      @OffRoadRecoveryLLC  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      We do not, stuff made in USA are held to a higher standard
      Minimum rage is higher
      That have to meet certain levels of testing tagging and such
      All that cost $$$
      That’s why the cheap stuff is made over seas they don’t need to test their products
      They don’t need to use the same materials
      Nothing
      They just slap a really good exchange warranty on it so when it fails customers feel good about getting a new one but they are cheap enough people just buy another one
      Yankum is the most expensive
      The best I can tell you for American made
      Check out Bubba Rope
      They are made in Florida
      We use factor 55
      The ropes are made in Texas
      Rhino rope 150
      Factor55 180
      Rhino soft shackle 30
      Factor55 50
      Everything is more expensive
      But they also last much longer
      I tested a rhino soft shackle
      Again I do rescues every single day
      After 2 weeks it was junk
      I’ve been using the same f55 soft shackles for 10 months now
      China stuff is made out of cheap
      Uhmwpe
      While USA brands use a high grade
      Dyneema
      You can immediately tell the difference holding the two
      Hold a rhino soft shackle in one hand it’s like a hard plastic and stiff
      While other brands are soft ropes
