Great advice

[@GIGrandpa]

Casey, the working load of a D-Ring shackle is based on the pin being snug, tight, bottomed out, whatever, you want to call it. Your recommendation is good, but the flat surface is there, so you can use a wrench to break it free ;) great video, and I'm glad you covered what to do and not to do!

[@jeffreyforbes2733]

I use a big screw driver to break the pin free

[@leemen]

Excellent job explaining recovery situations. Outside of winch manufactures I’ve never heard anyone else talk about the gear reduction that you gain through having less rope on the drum.

[@Casey250]

Ya its kind of crazy how much it impacts it based on wraps on the drum.

[@danoesq2]

I would use a kinetic vehicle to vehicle and static with a winch or come along generally. Just my opinion.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Really excellent video man. Super detailed and covered everything really well. You’re the master at these types of videos

[@Casey250]

Appreciate it bro

[@greghull3189]

Thanks Casey. I’ve just started getting into off-roading and had no idea how to use some of the recovery gear correctly. This video really helped me.

[@patrickkelly9721]

My brother (RIP) tried pulling a small tree stump in Grandma's yard. He used a steel cable and his 64 Ford pickup. Hooked it to his rear bumper and tried to jerk it out of the ground. Stump won that battle. The only thing broken was his nose on the steering wheel.

[@nicolekinney9773]

This is the best educational and demonstrative video I have seen in a long time; thank you for taking the time to do this! I learned a lot and am much more confident in offroad recovery.

[@alfa8822]

Using the little cars is hilarious! But great job demonstrating it with them! Very effective. Normally they called the toe strap a static strap. And the strap that goes around the tree are usually called tree huggers. Great video!

[@woody4u247]

Couple pieces of advice: #1 When you use a soft shackle... you're supposed to close the loop around the knot so it can't come loose, leaving it open as you showed & said you put your knot up so it doesn't come out... is why you might've had it come loose... gotta cinch the loop closed before applying load, it effects it's rating as well. #2 That's not a "D" ring shackle... It's a screw pin shackle. occasionally known as a Bow shackle because of the larger loop vs the pin area. a D ring shackle is straight.. or looks U shaped... What you showed was a screw pin shackle, they make them in a non screw pin style as well, but they're not as common for safety reasons & regulatory requirements in commercial applications. #3 Do NOT leave the screw pin backed off as you said.. the shackle will not achieve it's rated capacity when the pin is not tight. that's why it has an edge on it as well as the hole in the blade of the pin so you can stick a screwdriver or pin thru it to loosen it. allowing the pin to not be seated against it's base, can allow for flex in the loop & twist or distort the loop under heavy load. the hole in the blade is literally to aid in turning it if it's too tight. It's a common mistake that's pushed by many recreational recovery people simply because they don't wanna hafta use a screwdriver or pliers to loosen it.. just know it reduces it's capacity when the pin is backed off, that's why there is a shoulder on the pin. If you're going to try to guide people, you should give the correct info.. let them make their own mistakes or cut corners.. but winching is dangerous & most people are clueless to the actual loads & leverage they're exerting & it often ends badly. Hope this helps.

Well done Casey .

[@earlkoropatnick1928]

Thanks Casey, good demonstration!!

[@JavierBonillaC]

A huge aluminum hook. So much for dissipating the energy 😅 Duck, here comes the hook! Interesting video, thanks.

[@Casey250]

That hook isn't going anywhere if all your lines are synthetic and something breaks.

[@GoldenGateSeekers]

Great Video Casey ✨👌🏽

[@kisaac6933]

Excellent video, loved the demonstration!

[@edthayer4258]

Awesome explanation of static strap vs. kenetic recovery rope. Love the rc demo

[@leemen]

What a great thumbnail!!

[@Casey250]

Had to find a stuck Bronco 🤪

[@DirtTheory]

Nice bronco

[@Casey250]

[@scottjacobs7522]

Using the rc cars was really good to show people the difference between the types of straps . In Australia we have only recently in the last few years been able to get kinetic ropes we normally use a snatch strap which look like your tour flat strap you have in the video , you don’t want to to get them mixed up though. Cheers great video

[@Casey250]

Thanks;

[@blueman5924]

👍We’ll overlook the fact that the recovery line was attached to the rock crawler via the tie rod.😉

[@ProCrawlerAdventures]

Get rid of that heavy metal hook! Freedom winch line from Bleepin Jeeps is a game changer. Totally takes the need for a hook, which is the same point you made in the beginning… metal is heavy and more dangerous. Freedom winch line has soft shackles built in. You can buy a extension for your existing line that turns your existing line into a freedom winch line.

[@arronhale280]

great info thanks

[@explore_off_road]

I run a metal winch cable, just my preference. But I do! And always will use a hooked winch line, just for the times that your in a hurry. A quick click and your hooked up. It's rare... but sometimes needing a winch is to.

[@tinachang2657]

This was super helpful. Thank you!!

[@Gerry-K]

Hit the like people! 😎 Love the RC demo as well!

[@Casey250]

Thanks

[@williamyoder40]

Good demo with the RC vehicles!

[@edwardleonard3072]

Very informative! Thanks im a beginner.. this helped alot.

[@timothyholtjr.8600]

Thank you for the video and demonstrations!! Clear and simple explanation to a newbie like me.. thank you

[@eddsonblack]

Dude! Great video! Excellent demonstration

[@jason_advntr_6755]

Great use of the scale jeeps for demonstrations. Thanks for sharing

[@AdventureAryck]

Loved the use of little jeeps

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I’m glad we stayed this recovery situation. Obviously broncos don’t get stuck

[@Casey250]

Neither do jeeps 😎

[@flintmaloney3143]

Nice Video! What do you recommend for winch line extension?

[@TClemtastic]

Outstanding tutorial! Thank you.

[@Good-luck-Jonathan]

I got a factory 55 Bora recovery kit coming just now I know what to do with it lol.

[@disasterduck13]

Thanks for the video

[@terryrust5683]

great and much needed video thanks for taking the time to put it all together, One thing that I find funny probably no one ese will but back in the last century the straps had muchy the same marketing that the ropes do now. Chains, which we used to use, were dangerous use the strap and bungee the stuck guy out.... straps have likely changed in the last 50 odd years but it seems true, everything is circular, except chains....

[@schoppworld]

Very well done and explained!!

[@stewcullom5259]

I have everything that you do except for the little donut ring. Need to get that.

[@donlum9128]

Excellent video.

[@rattles3044]

Moab Motor Sports has a ten foot tow rope that is a kinetic rope and makes a much smoother tow. 🤔

[@LaGuns-yo9be]

Thank you Casey. Very good info

[@OliverOverland]

Great video and very practical and useful info 👍👍👍...🙏🙏🙏

[@angeloplanes8497]

Right on! I went with flat link E. Was looking at your winch hook and internally debating for weeks before I purchased 😂

[@Casey250]

a great, less expensive, alternative.

[@toddhall3720]

Awesome content! Really appreciate it.

[@lgoolsb]

Thank you! Very helpful video.

[@MactacFPV]

How do you have your lic plate mounted under the stock steel bumper? I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it, and I like the idea of putting it underneath tilted back like that.

[@Casey250]

It is part of the Warn winch mount for the steel Rubicon bumper.

[@MactacFPV]

@@Casey250 Ahh, ok thanks! I guess I"ll have to rig something up... or go naked on the front :)

[@jeffreyforbes2733]

Excellent information.

[@mblake0420]

Your jt rear window leak? Jeep wont fix mine 21 bought in 22, 14 months old, 17k miles. Was told 3 year warranty is only 12 months on glass even though its what holds glass defective

[@misfits9095]

I noticed you still take out the ecodiesel. Is there a reason you pick it over the gladiator? I have an ecodiesel too and I think it’s cool you kept yours.

[@Casey250]

Alot of it depends on destination and logistics. The EcoDiesel is usually packed and ready to go for multi night trips. The Gladiator is usually ready for a day trip or a quick overnight

[@davtech]

Nice video and content

[@Casey250]

Appreciate it

[@paullybearded]

Great info. Nice work. Do you make the trip to Daytona ever to come to Jeep Beach? Would be cool to meet you and the Demonator especially lol. Keep up the great work.

[@Casey250]

I had a trip planned there 4 years ago to go to Disney and Jeep Beach but everything got cancelled. I'd like to but Florida from BC is a major haul that I don't have the time in my schedule to make. I will be at Overland Expo PNW this year.

[@paullybearded]

@@Casey250 nice yeah I figured that was way to far but figured I’d ask lol. Safe adventures brother.

[@MoviesSam]

Outstanding vid. I'm new to using my Jeep off road with the goal of overlanding soon. I have a burning question - are the front tow hooks on the jeep bumper good/safe to use for recovery. ?

[@Casey250]

Yep. I use them all the time.

[@blueman5924]

Great stuff ! 👍👍

[@edwardleonard3072]

New sub!

[@Casey250]

Thanks for subbing!

[@danoesq2]

That recovery bag is way too small.

[@sgtrat87]

Good video. Nice and simple. I do have a question though. I use an "old school" snatch block and it is heavy and a little awkward to deploy sometimes. I'd looked at those donuts but I have heard some people complaining that they are a little hard on synthetic lines, cuasing them to fray, etc. ANy experience with this?

[@Casey250]

I can't see how that would be any different then the line going through a pulley. The main difference is the axle of the pulley is a soft shackle instead of a metal set of bearings. The aluminum is soft and gets nicked easy to take care of the donut or itll become a mess. If it gets damage then ya it could damage your synthetic line. I've also been told to never use a metal winch line on the same snatch block that you use for a synthetic line as the metal lines to create burrs and I don't think i'd use a metal line on the aluminum donut as I think it would damage it.

[@sgtrat87]

@@Casey250 Maybe that's the trick then. Use a soft shackle that allows the donut to spin freely. I'm thinking if it bound up then the synthetic line dragging around the donut could cause wear. I've never used one, but have been thinking of getting mainly to save space/weight in my recovery gear. 👍

[@donlum9128]

I've watched guys bust rear axles trying to climb obstacles in the middle of Gods county. I went up same obstacles using a winch no issues, not drama.

[@genevanek8044]

That's wrong do not take your big d rings shackles and loosen them backup. That's why there's a flat spot on them for a wrench or a screwdriver to go into Em. You're bending them open and make them harder to get open so leave them nice and tight if they were meant to be.

[@JeffWinters]

Going around a aingle pully and nackndoes not double the power. That makes zero sense.

[@TwistedOff]

👍

[@OLNPHOTO]

You forgot the most important recovery gear 1st is gloves!! 2nd is a shovel! Always use gloves while using your recovery gear. A shovel can get you out of a lot of stuck situations!

[@Casey250]

Great comment. While I agree those are great items, in my personal experience neither is really something I use often. With everything being synthetic I find less need to wear gloves and I think have used a shovel once in the snow. Both items I do bring though for various other reasons :)

[@stewcullom5259]

I see a lot of guys on KZbin that are now using 10 footers

[@John-yb2xp]
