Brilliant!!! Thank you!

Thanks,! I had no idea that was even possible.

Amazing video so simple yet how many people could have used this method if they only would have known it

You need a tow bag hanging on the rope. All the tension will go to the toe bag if the rope snaps.

Like a dogging jaw breaker...

Great vid! Been looking for somethin a lil more "woodsy" than the shaving horses I see made from dimensional lumber. I've been using the crook of a low branch in a tree and jamming the end down in the dirt for a few longer (9'+) pieces I've been skinning for a shelter build. I bet somethin could be rigged up for these longer pieces by laying your ladder down on a fell log and another "bipod" out on the loose end for stability. Prolly a lil late to the game but thanks much for your efforts in making this available! d:^)

Thank you for making a video on this ive never seen something like this before

Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy huuuufffffffffffff que bien 👌👍 hacer manualidades en Madura útil para la humanidad

What an outstanding video, and it will truly get you out of a bind. This summer I will try to have my Boy Scout nephews build and perform this, with my supervision. I had a couple other thoughts, if I could share them? I would absolutely put a rag or anything in the bumper hole to avoid some of the risk in severing the rope on a sharp edge. If there wasn't a tree, I would consider digging a long narrow pit where a tree would be useful. Cut an extra log and tie the rope to the log to it, and lay it in the pit. Unless the pit is to shallow or the rope breaks, there's no way the object would ever overcome the force of that log in the ground. The pit needs to be deep enough and I'd consider pinning it down with angled sticks driven into the pit side, and pointing up and away from the truck, to hold the log down for added safety. I would also consider digging a rope slit pointing to the truck and coming out of the anchor knot, eventually rising to the surface.

Couple pulleys would increase force, less strain on rope, larger diameter drum pole, would also give more distance per flip.

Thankyou. I was taught to call this Spanish Windlass. I wonder if that's correct?

a clear PEVA shower curtain (wallys) lets in more radiant heat than the VisiKleen/ Roll up the PEVA and log from the INSIDE, so that popping embers can't land on the PEVA. Lean the top of the PEVA more towards the fire, for the same reason Tape together a couple of SOL heat sheets and tape in a couple of sleeping bag zippers, so you have the option of opening/flat this "envelope". The envelope, I normally use as a "sleeve' around an XL size "Trifecta' reflective tyvek bivy, from 2GoSytems. AVOID their regular size, it's too small. The XL is $95 and 1.5 lbs. You can't let the bivy touch you or the envelope. You need those 2 layers of "trapped-air" to insulate you from the cold, rain, and wind. Pull a ridgeline and a net hammock thru the bivy and another, separate ridgeline between the bivy and the envelope.. A heavy duty 55 gallon drum liner should be with you and the PEVA should meaure 3x6 ft. Gorilla tape it to the heat sheet lean to when you need a supershelter. A Sibeiran fire lay is MUCH better than a normal fire lay, folks.Search youtube for it. YT also has a video about the alternative Swedish fire torch. I use 4 logs to make my Swedes, with dry wood shavings stuffing the empty center. Bring steel wire for assembling the Swede. 2 Swedes will quickly ignite a Siberian when all is wet.

Much Thanks

Awesome way to pull something, the only thing I question is the constrictor knot on your bumper. Does that come apart easy, or do you have to cut the rope cause it's so tight? I would use a hitch that could be undone easy. Thanks for posting this great way of pulling something, I bet this has been used to pull stuff a million times ever since rope was invented. In watching this I wonder if you could flip the rope over the pulling log, so the rope is not separated by the log so it is inline, this would lessen the tension on the pine log pushing less on the stakes.

im scared of realy big fire if theres a fire outbreak near our house in my country (for camping ones you'l need an adult)

I've heard it's good for parasites but not sure how much or how to use it.

don't forget to put the truck in neutral and release the brakes.. then put a stop so the truck doesn't go to far and run you over once it is free..

Seen a similar method used on a smaller scale for tightening wire fencing

Harbor Freight has a $150 winch...😂

Great video!

I’ve seen this demonstrated in principle in a few of my books, but never in practice. Great video, thanks for sharing!

I want to see someone test how much weight this can carry

Next time use the three holes in the fender to divide the strain on the cord.

Normally an american would use a truck to pull a couple of branches and a bit of rope...

Absolutely love the “cargo pockets” on your dress !

It seems to me that both ends of the rope are getting wound around the pole. Why dont the poles travel back towards the anchor point? isnt that end of the rope getting shorter also?

I know that knot as a timber hitch, For pulling logs out of a ravine.

My Barrel Pole is going 2 be bigger?

So if the diameter of the log is bigger you’ll get a larger pull, freaking awesome

Absolutely awesome

Nicely done learn something new every day

very cool , I'll remember this . thanks

Can you explain it quicker?

wow

I always appreciate it when a man tells you the name of the sage he learned from .

And then there are people out there STILL claiming the pyramids would have been impossible to build without aliens. 😂😂

4:45 Should have left the camera at this angle instead of “zooming” in so we can see the placement of the log in relation to the stakes at both sides. But all in all, great tutorial 👍🏽

Depending on how long the pull is, you can drive a few angled spikes in the ground if soft, as deep as you figure. Tie some bowlines around the two pulling lines loosely so they slide and tied tight to the stakes. If she snaps some of the force will be diverted or absorbed. Or if you have a blanket or tarp or welding tarp, lay it overtop of the lines, it will again deflect or absorb some of the energy released. Worked for me.

Excellent explanation!

this is my kinda wrapping

Thanks for sharing ancient and useful self-help!

I move boulders on the creek while prospecting this way

Brilliant. I camp and worked in big shipyards moving megatons and I could pull an aircraft carrier with your rig.

Never mentioned draping a blanket, coat or such over the rope either side of where you are working that winch in case rope breaks and whips?

I tried this once In deep snow. To pull a 4 wheeler out Very hard to set up did not work.. conditions have to be idea to use.

Hats off to the first guy I thought of this

just a quick question for bigger vehicles if i use double the rope would that prevent the rope from breaking

Why do you wear a skirt?

Don't use any type of slip knot when you pull heavy things with rope... that's knot 101... 😂 This guy is taking forever to re explain things. No one cares what type of wood because the truck isn't really stuck. You will learn eventually what will be big enough and what will break depending on how stuck and how heavy it is. The best thing you can do to mitigate breaking the wood is do everything you can to ramp the vehicle gradually to reduce the pressure while turning the winch

This was cool. Wow. Very smart in a pinch. Subbed
