When I took a fema course twenty years ago on swift water rescue techniques, they had a huge amount of stories about people getting killed and worse by z drag or towing something. Line breaks and snap , it’s a rocket on a string. The number one thing I have told people since then, that almost no one does, is put a small weight on the tow line. We used wet life jackets or the like. If the line breaks it pivots up and away instead of straight at your head. Good subject to cover, there’s a lot of gaps in my knowledge and equipment in this regard. It’s also the first time I found out fema was a military subcontractor and it had military grade weapons but no food or water. 🤔👍
I was JUST telling someone that about fema
Good information Richie. 👍🙂
very interesting...
@@jakemelinko they were the guys who got lowered from helicopters to rescue flood victims teaching the coarse to whitewater guides. Hardcore dudes who lived in their vans to have more extreme sports time. They said” femas never put a bean on a plate, they subcontracted all that stuff out, but they have room after room full of automatic rifles and military gear “. It was twenty years ago so the quote might not be exact, but close.

Bar none the best winching video I have seen. Oleg has serious skills and is like an encyclopedia for off-road recovery. I am going to watch this one again and take more notes.
A Big heart in you, Richie. Super important video. TY!
Thank you very much! Hubby is an old school mechanic and "jack of all trades" in his retirement he helps people out. Right now he's doing someone's clutch. Appreciate you!
Thank you for being a wife who's interested in his life and welfare in general.
You are Thinking about Our Safety Thank You
I played with a lot of dangerous things as a kid and learned to stay clear of the BS people do
Thank you for putting this together. Very well done.
I finally bought some emergency food. I feel thankful. Thankyou so much for alwsys saying to buy some. It keeps the thought alive. So PEOPLE BUY THE EMERGENCY FOOD TODAY.
Excellent tutorial and safety information. Oleg is a "thinking' man, you can tell by the way he speaks of safety. Takes a mountain climber to know how to properly recover a vehicle...who would've thunk it?
I find this fascinating. I'll not experience such a need, but I APPLAUD YOUR SAFETY FIRST and sharing with us out here👍
Stay well and be safe Richie and friends.🙏🙏🙏

Absolutely Fantastic Video Richie. You are very much appreciated.
Love videos like this as well as your great outdoor and 4 Wheelin videos .
Stay Safe Brother.
☺️☺️🥰🥰
Opened up with a REAL "Hold my bong" moment!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks!!! I have a winch on my truck camper. I've never had to use it, but I've spent some time researching how to do so safely. This is the first time I've heard someone say to get rid of the metal parts on the winch line. It makes complete sense. I'm going to make that change ASAP.
Very useful and concise information I have seen a catastrophic tow strap failure dude got his arm shattered it's no joke God bless you Richey
Thanks for helping other Richie. And for taking this old lady with you.
I agree with pattyfoster, thank you for taking me along with you, thank you for all you do to inform us
Just got a trailor hitch and trailor so this is right on time. Thank you sir for your willingness to find a guy like Oleg to teach his skilset to us. Peace RB
I live in mud country and we use tow ropes that can pull out semi trucks and I prefer steel cable and also use heavy chains if needed. I have been stuck so many times and nobody will ever rescue me because they think I'm nuts. Never had to get a tow truck to pull me out of the mud, it's usually some guy in a half ton that not scared to pull a heavy truck out of the mud. I'm old now and I hate getting muddy and wet and have to walk back to town or sleeping in my truck overnight because I was to loaded to think straight 🤠
Richie
Great information! Great video! Thanks 👍
Great information to keep people safer out there. Thanks Richie and SandyCats. You guys are awesome.
I was 😢 you got your nice pants muddy. Dude is so smart! Knows his stuff love the accent. Those rope experiments 😳😲. Everyday climbing that mountain of HOPE 🥰. As always safe travels. 💙🙏🙏👍
Probably the only point I disagree with is using one rope for the bridle. I use 2 8 foot straps. For one, if one strap breaks, you are still connected. For another thing, if you are pulling someone out, having 2 straps, you have to pull both sides equally. With one rope, you can still have the easier side jump forward. Pulling any side motion makes the pull harder.
Brother i don't even do this crazy shit like you guys do..but i watched the entire video and i really did learn alot especially what not to do...great video thanks Richie
Thank you Calm One and Sandy Cats🤗🤗🤗
Fascinating.
Great educational video
Very Helpful.
I Appreciate It.
Chris🌿
Thank you for this, I just got a winch and had a bunch of questions. Keep up the great work.
Well explained. Almost everyone i know have been doing it wrong including myself until I discovered the recovery strap vut even then i used steel shackles .
Thank you for this!! 💛
Thanks for the vid. Going to show to my family
GR8 post 😊
Were arer tooo drunkk to dill wit thesss sheeet!😅
Great instructional video !
Thanks Richie. Very informative! 😎👍❤🧨🔥🙏🇺🇸
I was up at Silver Lake Michigan when there was a doombuggy pulling another dunebuggy right in front of us and they were using stretchy bungee cords LOL Every time they would start to pull away all 3 of us in our pickup truck would cringe and turn our heads and then it happened .... The driver didn't Relieve the slack and snap it nailed them right through the windshield into his forehead He got out and he saw the look on my face as I grabbed them and tried to get him into The dune store He turned and looked at me half unconscious and said does it look bad First thing I said was don't look in the mirror he had a gouge from 2 inches above his hairline to the top of his nose and it split about 3 inches across and you could see the muscles in his forehead Damn
Thanks!
Thanks you so much for this invaluable information .
Very informative, vital info. Thanks Richie. Love the Family Guy insert after the tight sheath comment😂😂😂
Great video. I learned a few things.
🤟😮🤟 Excellent info. Thx for sharing
Very good information.
Great vid fella...thank you! 👍🙏
Thank you RICHEY RICH!!! so glad I found you!
Synthetic rope instead of a chain makes sense. Not something I would have thought of.
Also, I used to watch this "Highway Through Hell" show about heavy rescue tow trucks in Canada. The kind that rescue crashed semis out of the remote Canadian mountains.
They talked a lot about the dangers of lines snapping but never mentioned that a lot of the time it flies straight backward. Better to know this than to end up cut in half or severely brain-damaged from a blow to the head.
Blessings bro, always informative, thanks for waking us up+FE dayz ect
Thx for the video Sir
Ordered some Sandycats gear. ✌️thanks Richie & Oleg!
Really good video with new prospective from someone who understands rope. recoveries always scary the crap out of me there is the unknown
This video is long overdue. Thanks Richy. I used to drive a tow truck and did a lot of recovery, but never had any training like this. I was always concerned that the cable or straps would break.
Thats a great idea thank you for the info i will use that setup
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do it. Keep up the good work brother.
You have a hell of a wagon, mr..
The double paracord restraint is smart! Thanks for making the video with a technical expert!
Stay safe always Richie. God bless you..
awesome video, man.
thank you.
Very cool, about to get into this so it’s good to know
Good informational video Richie, thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Always put the hood of your truck up
Yep
Thanks for sharing this Richie, I learned a lot from it.
I have a couple different length Bubba tow straps in my Tacoma that I got from a wrecker friend, they look good I don’t think they’ve been used much in good shape and pretty clean. My Warn winch has cable it came with.
Ty!
Thanks Richie!
TONS of great info.
Including a GREAT place to get some recovery gear i dont have.😉
Stay Safe Brother!
✌😎
Now that was worth the watch, and i also like to learn, thank you.
Great info brother. 👍✌️
Interesting. Ya learn something every day. 😉
You have to see the new secret window!
Live 4 Ever Compadres
well.. that dude is just impressive
I think u play this once a yr , problem is should probably b played 4 times a yrs, good job thanks.
So Richie... I know you'll remember me. Mo Tbr = Mark of the Beast Resistance. From Michigan. We always tried to invite you to dinner.... We are moving to our homestead on 8.5 acres in the Ozark foothills on April 5. Just saying boss....
JFI, snagged a 1 ton duramax out of ditch, buried in snow up to top of bumper, mid hood. Yankum rope, 4-5 pops...took a bit to pop on road, matt tracks is not relevant...was 2 5/16" tl ball to ball...
good 2 know
More of an endorsement for KineticX ropes than a winch how-to.
I miss your Richie from Boston UA-cam channel. Are you on another platform?
This is him, this is his new channel.
Bitchute
There's no doubt (probably) that twine rope has saved lives since it's introduction into the winching/offroading world in terms of the snap-back issue inherent in steel cable setups.
But I don't believe that is because twine is a safer alternative to steel cable as much as it is due to the fact that there are sooo many new people who have begun off roading. And they do not take the time to learn the proper use and maintenance of steel recovery gear.
Twine has a greatly reduced shelf/working life compared to steel cable. (it's also twice the price and requires more safety efforts imo but that's another discussion)
So (respectfully btw) when he says he want's gear to not fail while making his entire system revolve around twine - which will fail - it just comes across weird.
I mean, would you want the twine to snap and lose the winch target?
Alot of hypothetical scenarios miss out on the fact that there is a multi-ton vehicle on the other end of that twine (which could be your own) that becomes an out of control entity of deadly consequences when the twine gives up - rolling uncontrolled off the side of the mountain or back down the hill. Or God forbid into and over someone.
But that's the risk being taken using twine until it inevitably breaks. Which seems to be what most consider a good thing??
It is a guessing game with too much risk in my humble opinion.
The important thing is - and in agreement with his statement - that a twine system must not make use of steel anywhere in it. But that doesn't address the inevitable failure of it.
Just as true is no steel system should rely on twine anywhere in the system. And also true steel cable can break. But the MTBF (meantime between failure) values between the two are miles apart. And steel cable can be easily evaluated over time to prevent such a failure. Not so much for twine, especially when encased in protective material.
I don't think the idea that twine is a consumable is emphasized enough. They lose strength and shelf life with every pull.
I don't rock crawl but I do off road in very rocky areas and conditions. Twine would never stand up to the abrasion and sharp edges my cable sometimes has to endure to get the job done.
Just my thoughts from experience.
Great video and great company highlight.
Cheers RFB & Oleg!
Richie what are the names of the mannequins you know 4:08 😂
I bought some Max Trax today... just to be sure in case 😅
Awesome video and information. Question....is a kinetic rope what we used to call a snatch rope or strap back in the day? They had lots of stretch and the recoil was actually what did all the work?
Why not make the bridle by having the tree saver go from 1 D-ring to the other, and then connect the soft shackle to the middle? Each side is only carrying ~half the load, effectively doubling the working load of the tree saver.
Jailbreak!! ❤ Only in America. 😂
Allways put a coat on the cable...that shit will cut both your legs of ...I nearly had my head taken of...missed me but about one foot and buried the hook into a brick wall...I was in shock!
Blaster US Army Eng ..😮
Are his ropes just Yankum ropes rebranded ?
Ninja rope dart
I kinda got an ugly feeling watching this....
Richie, Please dont go out by yourself anymore...
I realize that you are a Pro and all that but, these days are not like 2015...
Done a lotl of riging common sense would say the speed and dead stop method is just completely stupid especially if you want to damage a bunch of s***on your vehicle and the other truck
So this is not a post about whenches but winches ?
Why put a soft shackle on if you are using a metal one already?
Isn't that just making another breaking point.
I don't own a kinetic rope and never will. I use the winch or tensioned up tow strap. I don't like the variables in kinetic recovery, nor do I like the amount of trust you have to put in another person. I think most people don't know how to use them "safely."
Do people really drive like that with these toe straps hooked up? Looks like they're doing it on purpose which is probably just a test run type setup but I can't imagine an idiot trying to drive like that with one of those straps. That guy has such a little brain taking him out is not all that bad an idea.
Hey Richie I'm new to this channel. Do u believe in flat earth??
You lost me at... WE MAKE OUR ROPES PROUDLY IN CHICKITY CHINA.
Well you should of watched on, lots of good information !!! Yankem ropes, that Matt’s off road uses seems to be making up it specs, it’s in a video out there. This guy tests and rates his ropes.
I was married to one of them😅
There is a video of a guy who had his whole bottom jaw blown off from a winching accident. It was really hard to watch but as far I know he survived (somehow). It reminded me of that video of the jeep in the beginning with the driver side windshield blown out. Might have been the same video.
