Description
Operation of a winch and off-road activities are inherently dangerous and unsafe. Besides being risky and dangerous operations, they have the potential to be lethal. Hence a winch deserves a great deal of respect.
This DVD will give you the information you need to safely use your winch.
The DVD covers:
- Basics of types of winches
- Winch components
- Winch kits
- Operation and safety
- Details the rigging for some straight forward recovery operations using single line and double line pulls
- The importance of pulleys is covered and fully explained so you know when you have the advantage of the increased strength of a pulley and when you are only using it for an angle change.
- Complex riggings are demonstrated such as a reverse pull, a two way pull using only one winch mounted on the vehicle and a compound pull.
- Use of the pull Pal as an anchor point is featured
- Stuck and load assessments are reviewed
- The bonus section contains diagrams of typical winch riggings

“Hi Tom,
Just a note to say we liked the winching DVD and the winch bandana. We’re old-timers at off-roading, but rarely use a winch. It’s dang good training material.
Bet that we’ll watch it a couple times a year, likely in anticipation of a trip.
The “winch bandana” with calcs, notes, and safety info condensed on it is quite an idea. Much more durable than paper, and it’s exactly the reference material I wanted in my recovery bag. Something like this printed on a bandana is unique enough that it’s hard to resist.”
