RECOVERY SNATCH STRAPS AND KINETIC RECOVERY ROPES

[@ru5tyjeep]

If you have a removable hitch; remove the hitch, put the strap end in the 2" square receiver, and lock it in the receiver with the hitch pin. Those pins are hardened and can take more load than most straps.

Another Great Video.... Thank You for this info... will save my life ... i use a chain to pull and i am worried about damage now i will go buy a Kinetic Rope... really thank you...

[@mayad3566]

The kinetic ropes are cats ass- love it! Thankfully they are much cheaper today. Thanks so much for this awesome video

[@PirateJeep]

Thank YOU!

[@brandonbriggs]

Great video Jeff, always a good thing to reinforce the safety side of this sport.

[@jimquantic]

Thanks Jeff, really good and really important things you are discussing.

[@richardlindquist5936]

Great, practical vid! Thanks!

[@AlphaGeek8]

Great video Jeff ! I almost ordered a cheap tow strap before I saw your video. Just ordered a snatch rope from ASR , and I made sure they knew it was your video that sold their rope. Keep on truckin' good buddy !

[@Loudpedal10]

Good video. Thanks for the ASR shout out. I always wanted a recovery rope but felt the " other company " prices were out of line with reality. Now I have what I've been looking for!

[@LuaiADV]

Love the way you present brother. Thanks for the reviews

[@187Zannii]

Always fun to watch your vids Captain

[@suhimniko]

Great video man. Very informative.

[@PirateJeep]

Thank you!! :)

[@Crushin_Libs]

Great video, Jeff. Very informative.

[@Crushin_Libs]

Could I make a recommendation! What if you made that video, and in said video had everything someone should have in a "oh shit" container. Recovery, cold gear kits, safety gear etc. That'd be great. :) I'm trying to put one together myself so I can get out one bag or tub and have everything I need instead of digging around and finding random stuff.

[@thedoorguycharlie]

Great video. Thank you so much fro the info.

[@PirateJeep]

Thank you @thedoorguycharlie If you decide you are interested in a kinetic recovery rope please check out the Pirate Off-Road Nation store for the best in quality ropes. store4762357.ecwid.com/

[@Thatgreenbronco]

Another great video!!

[@200Johnnyboy]

He's a 100% right i seen people doing it wrong a the time.

[@JohnHappelFullMastHap]

Wow!!!! Awesome tips!!!!! I hope maybe you might do some tips for winches and bumpers, kinda lost on what to get fer my old Yota.

[@JohnHappelFullMastHap]

Awesome, can't wait, goodluck!!!

[@jimquantic]

Thanks Jeff, questions. Isn't it better to use the strap without the shackle? I ask because of two thing: if there is a breakage, the shackle is worse flying through the air than any strap piece AND second, the shackle--is it not rated for far less weight than the strap? Next, why do trucks like mine have left and right attachment points--after all, without a bridle of some sort, the pull is then off of dead center.

[@insurancedice]

Can someone clarify on the physics? Springs do store energy, sure, but mostly the strap just absorbs the shock of the pulling vehicle until there's enough tension to overcome the friction/whatever other forces on the vehicle behind which then will start moving. They can't store more energy than the truck pulling it provides of course, they just stretch to spread out the shock over time (with some small amount of energy loss). When you see a log, for instance (big object stuck by friction), being tugged it sort of 'springs' out because the strap will stretch until there is just enough tension to break the static friction of the log on the ground. Sliding friction is lower than static, so once overcome it will 'jump' and slide along more freely (like tires with traction vs skidding on pavement). Rolling friction is similarly lower than static. You'll see the same thing pulling with chain without any stretch it will just reach the tension point faster. If I'm not correct here than I'm curious about how this works (with any of the above) but I can't imagine a 20 foot tow strap stretches more than a few inches or so to really give that much 'spring loaded' action. It does do a good job at cushioning and giving you a head start to build of force with the speed of your towing vehicle.

[@doc559]

youtubeuser9927 A true kinetic recovery rope will stretch around 30%. If you search around, you'll see videos that show you how much they do stretch and how little tow straps, like lifting straps will not stretch.

[@paule_2031]

The stretch "stored potential energy" in the strap will keep pulling after the peak force is applied to get moving. Where as a chain would transfer 100% of its energy in one instance.

[@Lhenry-pf5zn]

It is now illegal in most provinces and states to tow with any kind of chain or rope.

[@Philnatic1776]

Great Video. Thank you .

[@Lhenry-pf5zn]

The word you were looking for is ‘jerk’.

[@Neudiin]

Love the video...good info but only a Canuck would stand out in the snow giving a safety speech lmao. Jeff highly disappointed at the end you didn't say "Keep your balls safe by not tying anything to them" or "Don't yank on your balls, it's not good for them or you"

[@JohnHappelFullMastHap]

***** Replay!!!! Ball yanking take 2!!!! LMAO!!!!!!

[@Markkrochuk1979]

What diameter rope should I get? JKU towing other JK/U's and the odd F150/F250. When PowerModz was reviewing kinetic recovery ropes with FJs and Landcrusiers he was saying that he wasn't getting enough stretch out of the 1" rope and went back down to 7/8". He was saying that their rigs were +/-5000 to 6000lbs with 37" tires. Thanks.

[@ft1813053]

Thanks for this informative video! I am little confused by the terminologies of snatch strap vs recovery strap. I think for less than 40 bucks, you'll only find "recovery" strap like pro comp and smittybilt. For a strap that is labeled as "snatch" strap and it states how much percent it will stretch, they are usually 60 bucks like the ARB. Also Smittybilt makes a cheaper "recovery" strap and a more expensive "snatch" strap, which look totally different. So i think recovery and snatch straps are two different things. So I wonder how much does a typical 40 bucks recovery strap actually stretch? Like can you noticeably stretch it a little by hand? Does it feel very different from a tow strap? I'm about to buy some recovery gears the first time. Thanks for your input!

[@Pitmaster4Lyfe]

Great vid man,I think I seen all them straps when you were pullin' out the zj,lolBy the way how's that build going?

[@Positrack]

"Another thing I wanna mention is, ah, BALLS..." Hehehehehehe! Just givin' ya' a little crap. Good vid; I like your video style. Sub'd.

[@jeepgod62]

Hey Jeff,,,I still feel like I can pull you out with My Jeep,, it's so close to being as bad ass as yours..lol,,Thanx for all the tips..quick question? What state are you in? I miss the snow..I'm in Va.

[@morriswilburn9858]

Even I can understand this presentation.

[@yveskc1]

Nice! R U ready for that big snow storm coming your way?

[@DDinVT]

U said those r 36" irok. R they the 36x13.50-15? I was gonna get the 37x12.5-15 iroks but found the 36" are taller than 37".

[@AndieBlack13]

OK, got it, not looped over your tow-ball....does somebody make a "proper" Attachment point that can be used with your receiver hitch? OR, is that square sliding hitch with the cross-pin a "weak point"?

[@AndieBlack13]

***** Thank you, thank you very much...

[@ru5tyjeep]

Nice vid. Thanks for talking about safety. I hoped you would talk about people who (wrongly) say- "straps don't hold any kinetic energy and if they break they will just fall to the ground." As you know these straps can hurt and/or kill.

[@mjdubor]

great video

[@dhamilton201]

If I don't wrap the snatch strap around my ball hitch or through the pin. Should I put a shackle on it or what? Rookie in Texas :-) Thanks ice video

[@dhamilton201]

Thanks!!

[@hectormgf]

Is this Jerry Seinfeld? Same voice...

[@lostjohnmiller]

Second strap was surely more than twenty feet.

[@kadenfletcher1225]

how big of tires and lift on that jeep ?

[@kadenfletcher1225]

+Pirate Jeep Productions thank you it looked great and im a high school kid trying to make my jeep look nice on a budget though but i love the way this one looks

[@TheDitchPigExperience]

All fun and games till someone loses a ball. Great vid Jeff.

[@pierrejeanes]

what about a chain or normal rope but with springs at the ends? why not metal hooks?

[@geoffclarke5901]

pierre jean metal is bad news. If something breaks metal will and does kill several people a year.

[@SB-nm8zv]

stay away from the balls...lol

[@PepeDeezNutz]

Steve Bond no homo

[@bigblock53]

does somebody make d-ring shackles that are not powdered metal?

[@RedStag86]

Cm makes galvanized shackles. Great price too and made in the USA

[@bigblock53]

+Patrick Dougherty who is cm?

[@RedStag86]

+Andy Ostensen CM stands for Columbus McKinnon. Many of their shackles also have a Working Load Limit significantly higher than their Chinese made competitors of the same size

[@Lhenry-pf5zn]

I doubt anyone makes D rings that are ‘powdered metal’.

[@mnight207]

I've used chains for over 20 years and havent had any problems. Yes, you can use chains for recovery. Now, if youre an idiot, you shouldnt be in the recovery business.

[@PirateJeep]

If you have used chain for snatch recovery then yes, YOU are an idiot!
