Survival Purpose
Ever been stuck in the mud in your vehicle? Winches are incredibly handy in an emergency. Tie off on an tree or other firm anchor and you can usually extract yourself pretty easily.
Use your winch to extract a vehicle from mud or snow, lift a heavy object (i.e. engine) with a single hand, or remove a large log from a road. Actions like this and many more can be done with your power winch.
Last Spring we took a quad trip. We left in the morning when the snow was firm. By afternoon the snow had softened. We almost made it to the trucks but one of the rigs got severly stuck when the snow gave way and it high-centered. We had a winch on the quad and were able to get out by anchoring to a tree and pulling outselves out.
We like synthetic rope instead of cable for the weight reasons and they don't produce metal burrs. They both perform well for tensile strength. If you need abrasion resistence go with a steel cable.
What We Like
- Simple to Use - attach your winch cable or rope to an anchor and you're in business
- Affordable - for the price, you get a huge amount of value in lift capability
- Capacity - you can choose 2,500, 3,500, or 4,500 pound ratings
Tips and Recommendations
- Try it before an emergency actually happens
- Warning: make sure your line can hold the stress of the task - a line under tension can cause injury or death if ruptured by the strain
