Mayhaps. It is a good idea to put something on the cable in case it breaks like hanging a blanket or coat on it. Just to keep it from snapping up into your windshield and face.
Wrong and not true, because it depends on many factors. Some winches are made and equipped to do just that. A curved steel plate draped around the spool drum but under the cable as it comes off the spool. Driving very slow to gradually tension up the cable a continue pulling.
Really hard on transmission in reverse a big no no. Plus if that cable came loose right through the windshield, put a blanket or wheel half way down the cable. Guy lost his whole jaw. in one video.
@@51WCDodge No, I don't believe that is so. Pull on a rubber band and let go with one hand. Now pull on a steel wire and let go with one hand. Which one flies back and snaps the hand that you're holding on to it with? The elastic band or nylon or other type of material rope stores much more kinetic energy and releases it like a whip in contrast to a heavy steel cable. Also a steel cable having more mass will have more inertia so for a given force it will rebound less than an elastic cable, like a tow rope.
Don’t run over the winch cable!!
Stop hating this man for helping. That was probably all he had to help get him out.

@@0110rroberts You really think a coat or blanket could do that?
Rule one of winches. Don't use the cable for towing.
Dang dude was trying to run over that winch line hard core. Not a good way to show appreciation for being pulled out
Why do people insist on flooring it when they are stuck?! Speed does not help AFTER you are stuck. Love the tracks!
I cant belive that thing was stuck in that little bit of snow.jeep looks good though. I would a tracked vehicle for ice fishing.
Jeep is a saviour.
good job
what kind of tracks are those,and are you happy with them, thanks
Definitely not a Chevy Suburban. That is GMC Yukon
Why is it that people can't follow the tow vehicle? No wounder he was stuck.

The Jeep driver didn’t do anything wrong, it was obviously a very light pull.
That is not a recovery rope. If that cabke snapped or the suburban part came lose it would go flying back towards the Jeep.
Nice track setup.
Sissy new sub my old1 could make that as is
Improper and dangerous technique.

That'll keep the cable from flying if it breaks or does it keep the cable lower so don't fly up as high?
That steel cable is unlikely to snap back. It's not a nylon rope which stretches like a rubber band.
@@percyfaith11 Wrong! A steel cable is far more likley to fly as it jhas more mass, hence more momentum.

You all outta check out Matt’s Off Road Recovery
Where can one obtain these tracks ?
Minnesota
The manufacturer them there
I can't stand to see people use a winch line as a tow strap. It's not made to be used that way. How hard is it to get to your recovery rope?
There was nothing wrong with using the winch line in that case. The Jeep driver was very careful to backup slowly to avoid jerking the cable.
My Tacoma would go in circles arround that gmc garbage made in Canada
