LOL, at 8:44 you say "Uphill advantage", pulling uphill is not an advantage! But rear of your Bronco being lower than front sometimes helps. I noticed you attaching on one side of bumper on on rig and other side on other rig. This causes un-parallel pulling angle. When use to our advantage it can help pull someone back onto track. When used wrong it can pull someone out of track. Best to hook on same side of both vehicles. Better yet, bridle to both side points with tow rope in middle of bridle. ;)
100% on the bridle being a better option, these vehicles just didn’t have the resources to make that happen (not my vehicles and not my equipment and not my recovery) . The shot doesn’t show it from the side and offset but the stuck vehicle had gone off track and they were trying to pull it back onto track instead of further into the soft stuff. We had also dug out before as mentioned (but not shown) to eliminate any extra forces that we could. I laughed during the edit myself when I said uphill advantage. At the time I was trying to talk about how the pulling Bronco was angled to help with it being pulled forward but you can’t even tell due to the flat angle of the video. It sounds silly based on what’s seen in the video I agree. I wasn’t trying to make this 1 min clip the whole video so I didn’t spend a great deal of time going into a ton of detail on everything. Just shooting with the flow as a passenger princess/snack queen on this trip lol.
@@popo_patty Thanks for the reply. Maybe try finding someone's old winch rope and make a few bridles out of it? I would double it up to make about 16 foot loop of rope. 16 foot loop takes about 36 feet of line with end spliced into to other end making it a loop of rope. A fid helps, but is not required. Old ink pen can be taped onto end before inside of rope. There are lots of written and video guides about how to splice line. Here's one to give you and idea of how easy it is. th-cam.com/video/3yTQW22xhSE/w-d-xo.html Looping normal winch line almost doubles it's strength. ;) Can be used by attaching each end to vehicle with soft shackles.
@@popo_patty If you have the time and rope you could make your own soft shackles. I'm guessing most common 4x4 soft shackles are made with 12mm/7/16"-15/32" rope. I know, most 10,000 lb winches come with 9mm/3/8" rope, and it's pretty safe simply because synthetic line drops when it breaks. But I prefer using winch rope with breaking point at least a few times higher than winch stall point. ;) If you have any questions please feel free to ask. But honestly, I'm not as smart as you probably think.
Question - are they replacing your Bronco windshield with an OEM one? I'd be a little annoyed if I lost the little BRONCO ear 1966 down by the VIN window...

Nice to see you have a sense of humor about the whole stuck thing after last time out. Some good advice.

@@LHW-kg9cpthat’s a genius idea and I’ll try that out! I have some spare line in my garage

Glad you got back on the horse (or is it IN the horse?). Helpful recovery advice. Looks like a good time was had.
haha, its like if the egg came first or the chicken.... I say in.
Was super fun! Thanks for having me, and thanks for the gear recommendations!
A blast having ya! Reach out if you have any more questions. Lets not spend all that money in one place haha
Inquiring minds want to know. What was the recommended gear?
@@matteshem7381he was asking questions on the trail about skid plates and stuff.

yuuup, another OEM. I like the little Easter Egg. This will be my third windshield! I'm mainly upset about my Bronco Safari sticker being gone now:(
Mormon Emigrant trail?
Nope, further up 50 and more secret ;)
I was the 667th viewer of this video! I had to get rid of the 666! 😂😂😂
My hero!
@yonderthebronco getting its kicks!
Good times!
