I can't tell you how great it is to see someone who really knows what he's on about in this area. This is exactly how I was taught to do snatch strap recovery. The amount of gung ho cowboys out there doing everything so wrong and dangerously is scary... Not using recovery dampers with bystanders standing right beside the vehicles or between them, using tow balls, not using bow shackles, just using makeshift tow ropes with no elasticity, etc...

Hi Ronny . love your vids so much great information . could I please get your opinion on this . you mention in a few vids to never ever use your tow ball for recovery but you offer a square recovery insert shackle point instead of towball. so is it just the tow ball it self that is no good . so I don't have a square removable Tomball. so if I took the bolt off n took the tow ball out I could just shackle to the hole where towball goes through. u get my thinking . cause if that insert is OK then the actual tow bar framing is OK to use for recovery I'm thinking . I hope u understand please reply . thanks mate

Yep, the tow bar can handle it but the tow ball itself can snap - it's not rated for the load. Swapping the ball for a rated shackle would be safer, just remember to use a dampener on either end and fill the pockets of the dampener with some weight to keep it on the ground if something does let go (looks like Ronny forgot to add weight to the dampeners in this video, but other than that he's done it perfectly).

It's because towing vehicle HAS traction so 1st low will give the most PULL. Stuck vehicle in 2nd low because you want to "help" itself out and put less stress on the recovery vehicle. 1 low will just spin the tires and keep her stuck, counter productive.

I currently have a Toyota Tacoma, but it already has 350K kms and will most likely replace it with a 3/4 ton truck. I would like to get a "come along" to pull out just in case I get stuck in a ditch, etc (ex. www.wyeth-scott.com/ or a similar pull winch). Many of the areas that I go to don't have cell reception and I will need to solve any issues myself. Can you recommend a good "come along" and would you suggest rope or chain? Also, would I get a Snatch Strap or an Extension Strap for these situations? Thanks again for any information that you can share.

Great, honest mice people to deal with.👍🏆 Soft Shackles are a new thing, to. Much less dangerous than steel shackles and stronger. Gator Jaws are a brand.

Great videos. Very educational. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

And they hooked it up all wrong and almost pulled off my bumper. Which my recovery points were attached to the bumper bracket. A snatch strap would have helped a lot more. And better recovery points which I'm going to fab up soon. And I have a new rule, only I attach straps to my truck. Keep up the great videos, they are quite helpful!

You should never need to use a tow ball to do a recovery because you can simply remove the hitch 99% of the time unless its one with a locking pin and a lack of a key. Personally I find that if it is a 2-5/16'' hitch ball that is rated for 10,000lbs (4500 kg) that the ball probably isn't going to brake getting a truck unstuck.

Great video, MATE ! I'd like the return of the old-fashioned crank-handle for starting, especially off-road. Why? An automatic with a flat battery could be started. Also, when a manual has a flat battery stuck in soft sand or on a boulder field, it'd be very difficult or or even impossible to push-start it. In low-ratio, it can also be used to hand-winch inch by inch, when a very delicate manoeuvre is required. My main off-road experience was gained driving a Russian military jeep - GAZ 69, in Ethiopia, especially in the Danakil Desert, where there are grotesque lava fields, dunes, salt marsh, boulder fields, deep erosion fissures, you name it, all with temps up to 50 degrees and at down to 180m below sea level. This desert was a notorious leaf-spring-and-half-shaft breaker for the Land Rovers of the time - 1976.

Good video. One thing I learned in Rope Rescue SAR, however, is that a running rope abrading on another rope or strap is not permissible as it can potentially saw through by friction. Instead of running that rope through the tow strap loop directly I would put a shackle or something in between. Then you don’t have fabric on fabric friction.

I agree that tot balls are not for shock loads, but they are not mostly for vertical loads. When pulling up grades they do take the whole weight of the trailer. I see what you mean though that they equal death especially the lighter ones, personally I have used one that is rated for over 12,000lbs in a situation where I didn't necessarily know better and it worked fine although now that I know this I will definitely just use the pin.

I do use different towing way that would not load much weight on the transmission and differential shift gears. This way is to tie up the strap in both cars. Then back up closer to the stuck car so you can have enough strap lengthy tow. The last step is to hit the gas pedal on a good speed that could tow out the stuck car. Before the strap is getting tighten, take out you foot from the pedal so there will be no much load on the gears. I hope that is good for off roaders

Hi Christopher Ballaera thanks for the question. A tow strap should never be used as a snatch strap (snatch straps stretch by 20%, Tow straps stretch by 0%), it will act the same as an extension strap and induce shock loads to every part of the recovery. Only use it for towing, removing fallen trees and as an extension strap.
