    Remember being at an old engineering demo 20-30years ago, think I was 10'ish max little tacka, they were doing some examples of lifting an engine, 2-3guys on avg to lift it stirght up, 1 guy about 140kg was able to do it solo, then they hooked up a block and tackle and gave me the rope, could hear people laughing and carrying on like i had a chance, raised my arms up got a good grip and bent my legs and up it went, was able to stand up and hold it in the air at the same time. To quite the surprise of other and some popped egos... Good times.

  • @LS-uv9gg
    @LS-uv9gg 2 роки тому +1

    Add one or two more pulleys/snatch blocks, (cheap at most hardware stores) you could make everything even easier to pull. Granted, the mechanical advantage gained means it takes longer to pull anything the same distance of course, but if you are desperate enough to need to use that in the first place, taking a few more minutes to get yourself unstuck wouldn't be a huge complaint. Also, if you have nothing nearby like a tree to hook up to, digging a hole and burying something, (AKA a "Deadman Anchor") or a big tent peg type thing staked at a steep angle into the ground, is a time tested and proven way to attach a winch line to. Again, it all depends on how desperate you are and prevailing conditions, in an emergency.

    You mentioned a winch pulling the Paracord. My question would be why not carry a small winch giving you 50 feet from wherever the tree happens to be. I realize it's going to weight probably 10 lb, but if you're stuck in a bog it's 150/1 pull ratio and you can sit on the bike and push a button

      Fair enough mate! I suppose I just look at it a little differently. So many times I have looked at things like this and thought the same as you, but when I start to work out all the bibs and bobs of making the product and the selling it... I then realise that it's not that bad after all. MADE in the US not China. Lifetime Guarantee. Size and Weight. Capable weight lifting. You can call him directly if there is an issue. He employs people! I run my own business and I know all the expenses that have to be paid in order to sell a product to a customer. We all complain about buying from China and loosing our manufacturing to them but when someone tries to do the right thing and keep it in our country, they are called overpriced. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. 😩

      @@BikerBits well I agree with not buying from China, I personally try to buy Australian made things, or make it myself, I am a Diesel fitter and can make things like that from scratch, I guess it's easy for me because I am a tradie. The ones you buy from a marine store will be stainless steel so will more than likely to be smaller and very high quality, although the locking system would probably have to be incorporated separately, but all in all it would be cheaper and you would get the satisfaction of making it yourself, having said all that it's a great product and you did an excellent job reviewing it, you have passion for what you do so keep up the great work, it can't be easy thinking up subjects to post on UA-cam every week like you do.
