@PROutdoor94 And yet, nothing was stated about the legalities of recovering someone. There is the assumption that the person getting recovered won't sue you if something goes wrong. The assumption that if you are doing the recovery you have a clue about how to do it right and or safely so the people and the property goes unharmed/undamaged. 1st comment should be, if you don't know how to recover someone, don't try. ;) Don't try and be macho and make things worse.

Well first off , he talks like he does this all the time, but he only has a 7000 lb winch? You would think he would have a 12000 lb in stead, kind of makes no sense. And I have never seen anyone pull out a card to add up weights. Chok the wheels, grab a snatch block to set a return line to add pull. Then simply winch it out. Guy is kind of making too much work out of it.

Talk about a guy who knows his shit. Got me wondering how many times he’s failed miserably and learned from his mistakes. Usually guys like this will share at least one story of a rescue that went awry and the resulting catastrophic outcome. For some reason, I’m led to believe that this guy has never failed a mission! Will never be able to “un remember “ all of the great stuff shared in this video.

​@raulgallardo5140 Or watch 4WD 24-7 because they do winch recoveries every episode and show how recovery equipment is used. You can buy a complete Recovery Kit from "Snatch". This episode was mostly boring and theoretical. On 4WD 24-7 they explain how long to run the winch and how long to let it cool off while they are performing a winch recovery. It's funny that this "off-road channel" has taken this long to show proper recovery techniques and actual "rated recovery points" that are heavy steel brackets instead of the cheap "factory tow hooks" that they always make a big deal about.

Excellent video. Really appreciate the methodical, step-by-step analysis of the SAFE way to achieve a successful recovery properly using a winch. Just a couple of criticisms (but my viewpoint does not take into account the very steep slope that probably does not show up well on camera): (1) THE most important piece of recovery gear to bring with you is a SHOVEL -- it'll dramatically simplify the analysis of your vehicle's situation when it's bogged, and it might actually help get your vehicle unstuck; (2) Traction Boards -- 4 of them -- one under each tire, or two semi-stacked under the tires that are deeply stuck. That will probably get most vehicles out of the situation on their own when used properly along with the judicious use of your shovel (and I speak from LOTS of experience getting stuck up in northern Michigan while deer hunting over past 50+ years!). I understand that Tommy's Land Rover recovery in the video was just an example, but from what I saw it seems that a shovel and 4 traction boards probably would have worked, and that is what I would have tried FIRST before resorting to a winch. Again, an excellent video. Hope you have the recovery expert back again real soon!

I liked how he mentioned his gear is expensive but reliable from tests. Basics: tow straps, snatch rope, shackles and a bag to hold it all. You don't need the best of the best to use once or twice unless your are in the recovery business. Something is better than nothing. Also use a towel on the snatch rope or strap to aid in case of a break.

Making sure your kinetic rope and winching attachment points are very robust is very important... I was offroading with a few guys and one of the guys (luckily) had two vehicles, and his girlfriend was driving his second vehicle. She got very stuck and I was using my kinetic recovery strap to pull her out. I was pulling pretty hard (my ~7000 lb truck with a 10 foot slack pull), when SNAP, the recovery loop that was welded to her truck's frame broke away from her truck. It bounced off the ground, flew over my truck, went clean through the fiberglass tailgate on his truck, then through the front of his pickup box, through the back of his truck cab, and part way through his passenger seat. He was in the drivers seat and no one was sitting in the passenger seat. We couldn't believe how that ~10lb chunk of steel had turned into such an incredible projectile. Had that hit a person, it probably would have killed them, so I fully agree with what was said in this video about making sure your hookup points are very robust, especially when using kinetic recovery ropes/straps and very tight winch cables.

Some great tips and knowledge. I don't have nearly the experience he has, but have safely pulled many people out including self recoveries. There are often several different ways to pull out a stuck. Evaluating how stuck and where it is stuck are important. Being high centered on a rock where it is caught on a frame point or differential can destroy a winch or vehicle with too hard a pull. I see it often where a kinetic rope and a hard pull are used before assessing how stuck first. Using the least amount of pull needed makes sense. Sometimes stacking rocks or digging out first reducing friction is the only way to safely get out.

Good question! Synthetic lines running across the surface of a hawse fairlead generate heat, which is generally bad for synthetic lines. They are also sometimes mounted in sucha way that the hard edges of the bumper also make contact with the line and can crush or cut. Roller fairleads reduce friction and therefore reduce heat, especially with high angle high load scenarios. Key note: if a wire rope was used on the same drum, fairlead, or pulley block prior to synthetic those pieces need to be replaced or properly deburred.

Because he’s running that winch far, far more frequently than a recreational driver would. And because the roller was never burred up by running wire ropes on it.

I didn’t know if I’d find this video very interesting or not usually I watch your videos just because I like to watch the off-road stuff or just for entertainment purposes but the knowledge in this was pretty good some of the stuff. I’m not sure how it would apply for the few applications I use such as pulling the tractor out of the farm field or just providing something to allow it to walk itself out because let’s face it farm equipment is a lot heavier than most peoples off-road vehicles. But it did give me some ideas for some things to look at if I decide to upgrade equipment, so I appreciate the information from a farming point of view. Now I know what I’m looking at I might see about upgrading from some of the chain stuff I have to some more lighter stuff. The one thing I thought was interesting. Was the chalk on the wheels never thought of that before thanks again great video. 🙌 👍👍

One safety tip I'm surprised he didn't mention is to open the hood on the winch vehicle. That way, if something breaks on the stuck vehicle and comes rocketing back, the hood will take the impact, not your head behind the windshield.

"What the Big KZbinrs DON'T Tell You About Trail Recovery!' Reason why? Perhaps because they are not interested in putting their viewers to sleep? Click fast, watch fast, move on. They want likes and they want returning viewers. And a lot of them. This would be a helpful share to beginners to the world of off roading.

What's not discussed here- The "Big KZbinrs" usually have a VERY capable heavy duty recovery vehicle, unlike the stock SUV used here. PLUS, one of the YTer's own personnel is at the wheel of the customer vehicle so they have full experienced control of the situation. They're there to get you out, and they always do.

My condolences to Tommy and Chase. I know their hearts must have dropped every time "real quick" turned into another timesink. They were initially planning on doing several recoveries, there's no way they expected it to take hours for each one.
