Thread: Lets See The Transport havn a Oops moment

i used to use the hi lift jack instead of the handwinch, take a while and every metre you need to take the strain on a seperate chain and reset the hilift, works a treat though

Always used to take a tirfor winch with me for year. When I came to a hard spot I would look at it and made sure I got through, so I didn't have to use the bloody thing

Trees are already getting to big for you to shoot over, and I don't want you completely blowing them to bits with your new canon (the trees that is).
Trip going well?

That's going to take a bit of buffing out. Looks like you're in for a windscreen too.

It's the 'down hill' bit that has me curious, thought you were in Aus at the mo?

Just over the Drummond Range between Emerald and Alpha,not flat anyway.

I have a tirfor style winch, got me out of a few places. Only problem is it is slow and only has about 20m of wire rope. But it was cheaper than a fixed winch and I can winch from any angle not just from the front.

And the first 10 mts is taking up slack and stretch . But do work , I have used mine to winch boat up lake edge away from pending waves/ storms . ,just don't be in a hurry

Hand winches will get you out of most trouble, just takes time, sweat, more sweat, more time and you'll also need something like a tree strap and a non elastic rope or synthetic winch rope/chain to get to whatever your going to retrieve yourself from

Truck tiedowns are amazing what you can do. Easy to take up slack and sometimes you just need a little help to get moving again

I used those to winch a Landrover onto a transporter. Took a while as had to keep swapping between them. And yes I did ask if the Landie ran before accepting the mission to go down to Aromoana to collect it for my brother since the trailer he hired didn't have a winch.

This guy needs a lotto ticket.
