    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...

    Great video! Definitely investing in some Snatch straps. I was stuck in some sticky mud and let someone else attach a regular tow strap to my truck. 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!

    Thank you for all of these videos. I am new to four-wheeling (I got a Jeep Rubicon after years of driving sports cars), and there's a bit of a learning curve. Learning how to properly use a snatch strap was one of my questions. The snatch strap was one of the first bits of kit I purchased after getting the Jeep, and while I don't do much serious off-road driving myself (yet), I expect I'll need my strap and shackles to help other motorists this winter here in northern Canada. Great videos. Very educational. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

    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.

    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 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

    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.

    They would be referring to 'the tow ball' which you should never ever use for recovery! The tow ball needs to be removed completely. Then you could use the pin with a rated strap OR buy a Reece style recovery point usually around the $80 AUD
