Wow! Interesting

Thx, Doc. I always enjoy learning the intricacies from an engineer; they have training that I'd never get otherwise.

I was happier to hear that I could actually have a Twist in a strap and it wouldn't be catastrophic.

I meant to add in the beginning....

This may be irrelevant to most people.

I've gone to soft shackles and instead of steel snatch blocks on the Pioneer and my trucks, I use synthetic pulley rings or synthetic snatch rings... With an aluminum wheel and a soft shackle.

Those are really handy. I wondered about their strength until I saw a utoob video where they dead pulled a bulldozer with frozen tracks with one soft shackle. They pulled that thing over a mile IIRC.

I wish they'd zoom the camera out during those breaking strength videos so we could see the p5 attached to the other end of it.

No respect.

Where do you buy quality soft shackles and the rings etc? Thanks!

I’ve always thought that the rule of thumb when dealing with D rings was to tighten it and then turn it back a quarter turn so as not to totally bind it up when you go to loosen it
