Yup...Your stuck

[my69camaro1]

I had used straps for years but got tired of blowing 80 bucks everytime one broke... All I use now is chain... Haven't had any issues and we go wheeling every weekend...

like i said its not the ideal way to do it, but i figured everybody would have enough sense to know when it would work and when it wouldnt. but apparently you didnt make the cut

i'm the person that everybody calls when they're stuck around here, i've pulled a bunch of bobtails out of the driveway next door because my neighbor doesent know how to build a driveway. all i use is 3/8'' chain or a 3/4'' cable. i dont take chances. and when things get bad we have a 4-1 block and tackle if there is a big enough tree around. i always say "you hook it up and i'll pull out whatever you have it hooked to"

I don't claim to know everything but a lot of what I'm reading on this thread scares me. I work in an industry where I do a lot of hoisting and rigging. That could potentially affect the general public on a daily basis. And we use metal cables, chain, and synthetics. All of which have their intended purposses (sp). Chain should never be used for un sticking a truck especially 3/8 as some have stated. It is not made for that kind of shock load, and the chain that is, is more expensive than most people are willing to pay for. I just last week bought a length of 1/2" chain, and at that thickness only has a tagged rating of 7500lbs. Cable as well, it is stronger and more reliable than chain, but only if used properly. Once it has a kink or shape to it, it's rating is reduced drastically. For the purpose of un sticking a truck my money and safety is on the proper strap. Everything that you are stuck in has a certain stiction. mud is like x4 i think. Meaning that if your truck weighs 6800lbs for example then if your stuck bad in mud you are pulling 27200lbs to unstick it. If your just pulling a truck a tow strap is fine but to un stick something you need a snatch strap. And rant off.

That is some really good advice

damm good advise--
a 3/4t stuck in mud to the rockers for two days will not come out with a D8 on a gravel road with a straight pull (with 1"grousers),,, bury the D8 and use winch(be careful what you attach it to though),,, beendaredundat
