️ DON'T MISS MY FULL RECOVERY GEAR KIT VIDEO ! https://youtu.be/TUXhbui22A4

I was introduced to my first come along in the seventies. I must have worn out 5-6 of them by now. A friend said you have more pull by hand than with an average vehicle. True story. Lots of cables or chain is also a must. A must have !

Nice setup. One thing I'd suggest to add Is a treesaver. I get you gotta do what you gotta do in a pinch, but it's a best practice to try to follow a leave no trace policy. Recovery on a tree without one can cut through the bark and kill it, worst case if it's a thinner or weaker tree it can break through it and you'll have all that tension flying back at you

Thought I'd post an update to my earlier comments; again in case it helps any fellow campers, fishermen and/or hunters who are not looking to spend the money on an electric winch, compatible steel bull bar and the expense of upgraded front suspension to deal with the added (140kg plus) weight on the front of your vehicle. Moreover, while reverse and sideways pulls are technically possible using a front mounted electric winch, the additional ropes, snatch blocks and/or snatch rings are typically onerous to deploy, expensive and risky; particularly if your on your own. That said, I have retained all of my recovery gear mentioned in my previous postings, but I have now changed out my 2,700kg pull capacity, steel cable based come along for a WS More Power Puller (WSMPP) fitted with Amsteel blue synthetic rope and added an X-lock winch rope shortening fitting to the kit. The new hand winch can do a single line pull out to 10m at 2,700kg and with it's own snatch hook included with the unit, can do a 5m double line pull up to 5,400 kg. By incorporating my snatch ring, dyneema extension ropes, X-lock and a winch handle extension, I can exert up to 10,800 kg! ...yep the same grunt as a 24,000lb electric winch ( the largest typically fitted to a recreational SUV being 12,000lb). Yes the hand winch upgrade was not cheap, and of course, is still a slow alternative, but given it weighs only 10.8 kg and the outlay was less than one fifth of what I would have parted with for the electric alternative along with a bb and suspension upgrade, I'm happy with no reduction in fuel economy, ride characteristics, or maximum permissible pay load. All that said, the single greatest encentive for the change in winch is I can now do up to a 5m uninterrupted triple line pull at up to 10,800kgs, whereas my original come along gave an unacceptable maximum uninterrupted pull of 0.75m during a double line pull at a maximum of 5,400 kg. By the way, this set up kills a steel cable based Tirfor hand winch; in terms of cost, weight and safety. Finally, I have the benefit of being able to use my new hand winch for a host of projects requiring deadlifting up to 6,000lbs and pulls up to 12,000lbs. Hopes this helps someone and please think "safety" first and "recovery" second!

Great job. Congrats and many thanks from Brazil!!!

I have used that type of 'low cost' winch in the past.

Hands down the best channel I have ever stumbled upon.

Nice one, I was a bit afraid about the length of the steel cable. But that is ok. I would suggest to put a blanket, jacket or a winch line patch on top. If the cable snaps, the kinetic energy will be taken in by the security feature

I would suggest investing in Hi-Lift jack. Alongside self winching, you can lift the wheel to put the track under it (which in my experience was even more important than winching the vehicle)
