Snapped My 4x4 Winch Rope

  • Hopefully you never need to splice the winch rope on your 4wd winch while your bogged on a muddy hill. But in case you ever need to, here is how!
    One of the biggest advantages of rope instead of winch cable, is that you can actually repair it out on the trail.

      Yes it was already cut as you can see at the end of the video 😉🙂.
      What would you film to make the start of a winch rope repair video interesting? 🤷‍♂️ I could just start it with 'Today I'm going to show you how to'. But that's just not the fun nature of my channel 🙂

    You do very good videos. Professional, simple but through explanation of 'How to perform, what -to-do' in an unexpected situation. I have found Life usually doesn't give one a classroom/ Lab example, rain, mud, fire, medical emergency, etc., and the best one can hope for is to have some training, back-up options, and maybe some ingenuity & luck. Amazing what a creative human can pull off if you keep your head, and your videos are an excellent training resource. Thank you.

    Always learning something. I initially thought why not use a steel cable? Then at the end I saw how tough this stuff really is.. and repairable.

    • @tareskisloki8579
      @tareskisloki8579 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Plus steel cable weighs so much more (huge difference when running it up a hill), and you need to wear heavy gloves when handling it to avoid slicing your hand open on any loose strands, the only problem with rope is you have to avoid rubbing it against rocks (but you can buy sliding sheaths that just stay on the rope, roll up on the drum and be be placed where needed).
