After the last offroad recovery gear video exploded with views, and questions, I wanted to address some of those in this video particular to the Safe Xtract X-Lock.

There was a bunch of comments about adding mass to the line, adding things to hurl back at you when the line breaks, and why don't you just use a pulley block instead. All decent points, but you NEED TO STAY IN YOUR WORKING LOAD LIMITS of your gear.

This video demonstrates a 1:1 pull of the jeep hypothetically "framed out in snow" where I only need 10,000 pounds of pulling force to winch through a long snow drift. So I rig up a straight line pull, and then re-rig a continued straight line pull to get the winch back onto the last wrap where it's rated for 10,000 pounds.

If you have any more questions on this device, let me know! Seriously I'll try to answer them.

Until next time! See ya!
