    dodge 2500 megacab sxt curb weight 6700lb
    trailer approximately 500lb
    polaris jetski x2 approximately 1000lb
    morrvair at 5500lbs
    morrvair was trying to pull combined 8200lbs sunk to the frame.
    the math:
    8200lbs sunk to the frame x mire factor 3 =24,600lb resistance
    apex 12000lb winch with 3/8 freedom winch line with a working load limit of 15,000lb on the line itself.
    2:1 mechanical advantage shown in the video brings the fall line force to 13,530lb which is higher than the capacity of the winch and close to the working load limit (breaking the line)
    3:1 mechanical advantage would have brought the fall line force to 9840lb which the morrvair attached to an anchor (truck) would have easily and safely pulled the dodge.
    in order for the morrvair to pull the dodge out without additional help or anchor you would need a 8:1 mechanical advantage which i don't think matt has enough tackles and line for compound winching techniques. though most situations wouldn't need such techniques in these light vehicle recoveries. mainly used for heavier equipment such as military vehicles and construction equipment
    I do wish matt would learn the math on winch calculations to know when his rigging is under the breaking load instead of "gut feeling". he was very close to breaking that line and if that dodge weighed 500lb more than curb weight he would have snapped that line.
    the owners of the dodge didn't help by leaving the trailer hooked up. if you unhook the trailer the resistance the morrvair would have to pull would only be 20,100lb
    at 20,100lb he could easily pull with that 2:1 ratio with a fall line force of 11,055lb. safely under the winch and line limits. he would just need to anchor the morrvair with a truck.
    With enough mechanical advantage and line you can move anything.

Not fast, but not too slow, took about an hour. I added the wheelmate to the hilift kit after that. Underrated tool when used practically.

    Nice to see others offer to come & help out. At one of the beaches near me they launch fast to minimise time in the water & soft sand. For retrieval, they take the trailer in deep to drive or float the boats on & have a strap/s already attached so the vehicle can tow it out as soon as the boat is on. My dad took this a step further by installing a drop down full size front wheel so you could push the boat & trailer easily or tow it. Didn’t look like that sand/mud was real soft so they must’ve been there awhile to sink in. Time is often critical in getting out fast when in these situations.

    Get the high lift out and jack it enough to break the suction and pull with the high lift still under it. It will tip over towards the Morvair. I've done it a few times in that kin of nasty mud. I've had to do it in super deep snow, too. Following a snowmobile trail way back into the mountains then decide, we're waaaaay too far back here. Tried to turn around and 6' of powder off the snowmobile trail wasn't good!!! Put traction boards in the snow, high lift and jack up the truck til it was back at snowmobile track / hard pack level and winch it over until the jack tips, rinse, repeat. Took a couple hours but back then, all I had was a come-a-long!! Had to drive backwards about 20 miles to get out! Neck hurt a lot!

      No, that's basically what Matt did with the tools he had. To do it with a Jack you would need a jack that can lift it high enough and you need a wide base so you don't just bury your jack in the sand.

      @@dr.floridaman4805 I was saying that a jack is a perfectly good way to do it if you make sure your jack works on your vehicle and can handle the terrain you are on.
      I don't think I would rely on finding a flat rock though. If you're going to bring a hi lift at least bring a board or something to place it on. Also, a hi lift only works if you have lift points around the perimeter of your vehicle to lift from. The majority of the vehicles in Matt's videos don't.
