Portable Winch For Your Hunting Truck- Sets Up In 2 Minutes

[@hudsont231]

Exactly what I was looking to put together! Thanks!

I have a receptacle hitch on the front of my Gladiator under my winch. I put a cargo carrier on the front bumper while hunting and use the winch to ease 200 lb or larger animals up on the carrier. At age 68 , I do not pick up large dead animals anymore

[@SamkoTradBow]

That sounds like a fantastic set up

A winch is a life saver

[@SamkoTradBow]

Sure does give you great confidence

My biggest regret when I bought my truck was getting 2x4. Got stuck this week in South Georgia on that nasty red clay and started preparing a list of recovery items to purchase. Thankfully we had another truck with us that got us out. A hitch winch is #1 on my list for those solo trips! Thank you for this video!!

[@SamkoTradBow]

sure will make sure you get home! love the simple hitch winch

Happy Easter. I used to have a winch in a basket for my grand Cherokee. Then I got the hidden winch . I have front and rear winches on my Jeep JK . But over the years find it’s just easier to just have front winch and use snatch blocks and the rings to do a reverse winch from behind using an anchor point. My warn winches have been on my Jeep since 2007 and no problem with water intrusion. Great video my friend

I believe if I were to keep a vehicle longer than 2 years I would invest in a front winch and bumper and heavier springs. I believe its still the best way. But for my short term ownership of vehicles this checks all the boxes. and this is easy to lend to a friend for thier vehicle or to take in different vehicles. So its a great set up. But I still believe if you are gonna get stuck often a front permanent mounted winch is the best way to go.

@@SamkoTradBow wish I could buy a new one every 2 years 😁👊🏻

I have a F150 Eco Boost. Hard to get a winch installed the traditional way due to the intercooler placement. Very good work around to enable better self-recovery. Thank you!

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@user1-c8yrrr glad you enjoyed it. And it can transfer to an vehicle

Great info walked a pile of miles in my youth due to being stuck. Ugh. Thanks for sharing

[@SamkoTradBow]

@kevinmeeske3412 yep this can save alot of walking and wasted time. And it's affordable and no mods needed to your truck

[@asapeters9329]

excellent info and presentation

[@robertc.6441]

Good job man!

[@david-y9w5t]

Good video! I have a Harbor freight winch 12,000. What size cable should I buy for a long bed truck?

[@itsallminor6133]

Good video. How are you winching from the front? Just put a hook on the thing and let it suspend in the air?

[@SamkoTradBow]

I'm not winching from the front. 9 times out of 10 I want to go backwards rather than forward down here in the swamp. A back winch is more valuable in the swamp than the front. Although I'd love to have a winch on the front too. Given the choice I'd prefer the back winch

[@Owen4it]

Good video, what kind of tonneau cover do you have?

[@SamkoTradBow]

oerdo. from amazon for 150 bucks. Have these on both my trucks. love them

[@joemartin124]

what size of wire did you use

[@SamkoTradBow]

@@joemartin124 biggest size jumper cables i could get on Amazon. Think there are 1 or 2 gauge

[@ozarkarts]

What do you estimate the weight of the winch and cradle (together) is?

[@SamkoTradBow]

including the 30 foot cables 90 pounds. That winch cradle and bag full of cables, tree saver, etc.

[@luiscalvovila7990]

​@@SamkoTradBow100 pounds

[@olegig5166]

Hummm always seems like $500 will solve a lot of problems.
