In Australia we don't use fancy contraptions like that ground anchor, we just bury the spare wheel with the winch cable / rope tied to the wheel. Works just as effectively. :)

That's great! We did a side-by-side test with a spare tire and the Deadman held 2x the weight at the same depth. So that means you can dig a shallower hole with the Deadman, if you don't need a lot of weight. Plus, since we use a 80lb 35" wheel mounted high, it's nice not having to lift that thing on and off of the vehicle. :-)

If you think the Pull-pal is a dumb idea, you've never been off road. I've used one for over 25 years and it's the quickest most efficient method for winching out of mud, snow, or sand that's ever been devised.

@twotwentyswift

Going cheap on self extraction equipment can be the most costly mistake you'll ever make. And spending hundreds of dollars on a winch and then using this as your sole anchoring method is just plain foolish in my opinion. A tree strap and a Pull-pal ground anchor have never failed to get me home safely and quickly for over 30 years. Sometimes that was in temperatures around -25 where if I'd had to spend much time outside digging the frozen ground I'd likely have died. I wish your business luck but frankly it scares me to think of people going out thinking they're prepared with one of these and a winch.

Looks like a nice and easy to stow solution.

Pretty sweet, guys. It took some work, but totally worked out. I guess you could improvise one in a pinch.

The Army also refers to this as a "sand parachute." Similar to the "log deadman."

You can do this with a stick or shovel birthed with a recovery strap wrapped around the middle. Dig half as deep in a straight line perpendicular to the direction you are pulling and bam. You can repel down a mountain side the same way and recover your line this way too.

Where is this at? I live in ABQ . Looks fun never seen it

this is a neat solution. I was looking for a sand anchor recently, but nothing .

Would that work the same in snow?

In Australia there is a thing called a sand anchor and what you do is u drop it on the sand(no digging) the begin winching as u winch it digs itself into the ground until it hits hard sand creating an anchor then you drive over it and it pulls it out no problem

Its no wonder u got stuck,... Was ur tire pressure high enough? Looked to b an easy 40-45 psi, kinda high for sand trails dont u think? Cool product tho, if ur down to dig a huge hole.

So with the V2 version you are solving the odd geometry with the V1 models? If so do you still recommend attaching the "4" lines, ie. arms and legs together as shown in the original V1 versions, or can we now just attach all 4 at a single connection point?

@TheBryantwhite

2 жыл бұрын

The V2 is one large loop now. Yes they have solved the odd geometry with the new version. All you have to do is bring the two ends of the loop together to the winch with a shackle. The shackle will slide to the balance point, equalizing the load to all four corners.

The Deadman is lighter, smaller, easier to pack, contains no metal parts to break, is multi-purpose (winchline extension, bridle, tree strap, rock anchor, etc), doesn’t require digging it back up or mounting/unmounting a large off-road tire, can be buried in a shallower hole vs a tire, and is easier to use solo vs some of the metal anchors.

Why use a soft shackle in between the winch hook when it would have been safer to attach straight to the anchor.

Thats bad ass

My issue is in Florida you have a hard time digging a 2 foot hole without hitting water....

Why didn’t you air down your tires?

and if it does not hold it will fly directly to the windshield

A little steel pipe and plate, careful thought and measurement, creative tube bending and welding and you can have your very own Pulpal like sand anchor. A couple of lugs welded to the plow stock so it can double as an anchor plate with a few construction stakes. A few hours of work in the shop and you have a solid multi-use recovery tool.

Yeaah guyss look! It is really importat to find a reaaaally remote place to do this, best in a desert. Now what you gonna do is dig a deep hole . When you are finished just put the Deadman in that hole and burry it. Now you can drive home and never think about that again!

If I were to use a real dead man, do I attach the wrists to the knee caps and attach the winch rope to the ankles? Asking for a friend who is not internet savvy.

For better grip, dig trenches for the leads so they don't try to pull the dead man up to the surface.
