I don't own a Cherokee, sadly I traded it off and kick myself often. However, my Silverado has done well for virtually anything that a truck can be used for...437+k miles. No serious off road but more than a few recoveries, dump runs, cross country, winter driving, grocery getting experiences. The truck is old but well worth my investment so far of almost 6 years, 74k miles driven by me.

That second pull off the rope was faster. That's why it was harsher. Matt was more consistent, because it is his jeep.

The next morning we pulled out my car and went with Shawn to recover his Vanagon that was buried up to the roof in a snow bank. A full size plow truck was needed to pull it out. I remember using our climbing rope to attach to the truck. The truck drove forward with momentum, but was pulled back by the elastic rope and embedded van. On the second attempt it pulled the van free. Today extreme off-road recoveries utilize a similar dynamic rope to retrieve stuck vehicles. We were on to something back then more than 30 +years ago.

On the second pulls where Matt noticed a slight difference, I also noticed there was a bit more engine rev as well which might account for the little stronger feel Matt noticed.

In a way, Matt (from Matts Offroad Recovery) is representing America here. I am proud to have him as my representative on this.

Recovery rope by nature of its braiding, material use and core design have a higher coefficient of expansion, hence the term kinetic energy rope. These types of ropes are better suited for sudden type of force applications. Their elastic expansion acts as a buffer to the sudden force applied, thus "storing" this energy in the cord's elongation instead of the sudden force being applied to the load, which can "rip/tear" things apart. The stored energy in the rope is then transfered to load as an additional pulling force as the rope contracts and the kinetic energy is released. This "additional" force helps pull the load as if you had applied a greater force than you did; but this is only an "instantaneous" force. It might however be enough to get the stuck vehicle free and then apply normal towing forces. Soft slings have lower coefficent of expansions and are thus better suited for gradual force application and precise movement, such as a crane lifting an object. In conclusion, recovery ropes are better for "Recovery" and sligs are better for lifting.

Idea for a repeatable test: If you took both vehicles to a gently sloping Dirt road. Have the rear vehicle lock up its brakes and the front vehicle roll forward a set distance On gravity alone. You would get a real feel for the jerk force to each vehicle plus you could measure the skid mark from the rear vehicle to see how much kinetic energy was transferred.

A snatch strap for your weekend warrior, a kinetic rope for a hard-core enthusiast. That way you have a strap when you need it in case a problem ever comes up, it’s cheap enough and small enough you can put it in your rig and forget about it/always have it, but in the situation where you are using it all the time, the kinetic rope will pay for it self in no time And be more useful.

Northern farmer I have watched his videos and what looks like a tow ball is actually a pintle hitch. It’s stronger than a tow ball, stronger than the hitch receiver that we use here in Australia meaning the hitch receiver with the d shackle. A pintle hook has a shock load of 42 tonne and a towing load of over 150tonne. The way he does the recovery with the pintle hook I think is by far safer than any other recovery hitch on the market today. However the chain he uses is not shock rated and is the most dangerous way of recovery. We use chains to secure 200tonne machines on semi and over size trailers here in Australia and as a truckie I’ve snapped chains on loads. We need an explanation on his chain use and mad Matt has the right ideas for recovery situations. You have the right idea northern and please don’t take my comment wrong but the hitch he uses is by far the heaviest shock load hitch on the world market today. Having used a hitch like that to tow a truck behind my old work truck I know the shock and load rating of that hitch. It’s massively strong and capable of way more than the videos here show.

My experience helping people I came across back in the day involved using a 3/8 log chain to pull vehicles out, you want to talk about violent shock when you reach the end of the chain, things evolve, then along came recovery straps and further evolution has brought us to the Yankum Rope that Matt uses. No question In my opinion I think the recovery rope is the way to go.

@MadMatt4WD

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah Chain is horrendous ay. I hope you enjoy your time on my channel.

In my experience the recovery rope / kinetic yanker really shines in deep mud and soft sand when the vehicle doing the recovery does not have the best traction, because in that case the recovery is all about kinetic energy. A faster running start combined with the additional stretch that enables the recovery vehicle to keep moving forward on the initial pull until it suddenly gets yanked backwards (from the rubber band effect) all create an environment that helps prevent the recovery vehicle from getting bogged down itself and allows for multiple tries until success. My thought on why the recovery rope pull seemed more harsh is primarily because of the chains, and the slack that was in them, combined with the faster running start... if you're going to try it again and require a chain-like device to connect to the stuck vehicle I would recommend a tree saver strap or similar. I would assume most people watching this have recovery points so the chain and its hooks shouldn't be necessary. Great channel - new subscriber here!

I noticed a difference in the slack of the chain to the stuck vehicle for the last two pull-outs. In the next to last one, the rope and chain were pulled a little further out, suspending the chain a little more from white vehicle. This resulted in less chain whip before the strap started to stretch. For the last pull, the rope and chain was more slack to the white vehicle, which resulted in MORE chain whip, contributing to more "jolt" before the rope started to stretch. Certainly not a controlled test, but these little variances (other than the rope/strap) can sure make a difference in the "feel."

LOL, Matt put the wind up me about how tough it can be so I thought I'll pull all stops out for the first go. But it had rained the day before so the sand was firm. I've watched some of his other videos and it's one nasty hill when it's dry.

Thanks! 👍

The main advantage to the strap is that it's easy to store in a small space. But they both work well in my experience.

I been using Yankum And Rhino Ropes for years Never used a Arb Snatch Strap but they Seem similar might have to grab a few Snatch straps from arb to give them a try thanks for the video and testing Guys 6:30

Watching this vid when I received your reply to my last comment LoL. BTW, I just prefer a winch but I keep a Bubba rope with me always for the simple pulls.

I much prefer the winch. So much more controlled.

I’ve never used a recovery rope, and I have only a little experience with a recovery strap. That limited experience didn’t require it to be used as a snatch strap, just as a tow strap. I carry a 25’ 20,000# recovery strap in my Class B motorhome (weighs about 8500 lbs), which I’ve never used. My reasoning for the size recovery strap I have is that if I were to ever stick the camper, I wanted to have something that wouldn’t break, no matter what recovery vehicle was used. My reasoning for a strap rather than a rope was two-fold-initial price and compact storage definitely favor the strap.

That’s sound reasoning also in your situation it’s unlikely you would perform a kinetic recovery as the load involved can be too high so a tow recovery would be the go.

Haven’t used recovery rope yet. Have broke a few straps though.

Yeah the strap has a fuse and once they become a bit less stretchy they will blow.

Awesome video! Lots of information! What length or kinetic rope would you recommend a 20ft or the 30ft?

20 would be fine

Looks to me like the retrieve was smoother in action with rope than the strap. I own the strap but am impressed with the rope hands down

I'm leaning towards the rope for sure.
