So this would be an example of the wrong grade bolt used? :smiley-laughing021:

Yes kids, don't try this at home, or anywhere else. Is there a proper way to use two straps like this?

not really is that a bad idea ? thats how i would do it :smiley-laughing021: is there a better way ?

[LizardRunner]

that looks like it would tend to be a self correcting error in thinking, best case.

[Firemanray]

I probably can't describe it here but I would thread each strap through the oposite straps eye.

thats what my 1st thought was but then i thought of my post :smiley-laughing021:

[steph74]

and I have to admit I am still not sure what is wrong with that way of doing it..... however since I know it is a wrong way I should think about it for a while and maybe find out why

[cantab27]

use a stick in the eyes of the strops ,,more a branch ....rolled up magazine would work as well..............don't know if i would be keen on a shackle ...still a good missile if strop snapped...and they do snap .........

[LizardRunner]

slipage? slinging a double hook from a sling shot could be interesting to watch from long distance.

a nice 30 ton shackle would be best as long as you also have saftey blankets on each strap to deaden the rebound and the bolt is saftey wired.

Send the good vehicle to town and get a longer strap....

A better way is to thread the straps through the eyes of each other and eliminate the heavy metal in between in case one end lets loose. That way there is no heavy flying objects.

I was wondering about that, thanks!

And to top it all off, its a winch on the front of it. I mean who would you blame? Driver, the "helping" group? Both? I say the whole group. It doesn't show one person suggest using the winch. :headshake:

Yeah, that vid is one of the ones when I first watched actually made me upset that someone would put something that stupid on the net (Not to mention even trying that.). I can't believe Darwin didn't claim a life that day. Hes lucky he got away from that one.
