That >8,000 lb. winch is a waste of money.

I have all the enemies

 

This thread hits all my 'closure' buttons in the all the wrong ways; I lie awake sometimes wondering if we will ever be gifted the conclusion to this debacle.

 

OP had so many lines in motion pulling his truck out for a video, he got his dick caught in one of the snatch boxes and cut it off. After getting out of the hospital, with dick reattached, he can’t do anything physical, or he’ll blow out his stitches.

 

Abrupt and abrasive comment sir....


....I like your style.

 

Yall might be on to something here.

Like all physics enthusiasts he might have realized that mechanical advantage can be applied to all aspects of life, not just winches and pulleys. Hell, human appendages can benefit from mechanical advantage. After all, what is the old trouser snake but just a simple lever and/or wedge? Eager to apply the principals, his poor wife got knocked clear across the room after it took 5 hours to set up just the right angles. Consequently he wound up losing his winch in the divorce.

 

I saw him posting in another thread debating physics/design, something similar to this thread but a different topic. @whatstcp asked him if he was going to get back to this thread with his real world example. I think he said he was busy, but was still planning on doing so? Doubt it. Thread should go in the Dumbgeon.

 

Nuh uh. Once it hits the dumbgeon it becomes a silly thread that will never be taken seriously or anything expected to come from it. If anything it should be pinned to the top of the recent thread feed until expectations are met.

We need to see this.

 

Touche.

 

@TomHGZ

The people have spoken. We all eagerly await your knowledge-bomb; the fallout should be glorious.

 

I'm sure he knows this but there's really no winning at this point which is probably why there's no video. At its root, it's a flawed suggestion due to needing all the ropes, pullies, duty cycle, etc. I would love to see it in action but at least for me, nothing he posts will make me think "Wow, that IS a viable option."

 

Great thread

 

OP is definitely written like someone trying to justify purchasing an ATV winch for their pickup truck, and has never actually had to do a self recovery or recover someone else.

 

@TomHGZ

Come on, bruh.

 

@TomHGZ

Little Timmy is stuck in a well, and it seems you're the only one with the knowledge to save him! We can't directly access the well, so we will have to burn a bunch of time setting up and attempting to use a system incorporating a variety of unnecessary angles to save the day! Why use Lassie to retrieve something when a normal winch(hell, a rope)would probably do the trick?

Because I choose and use the overcomplicated TomHGZ Recovery system, THAT'S WHY!

 

holly shit, dude's using a climbing rope.

 

You just need to carry 6 pullpall anchors with you, duh.

 

That was great!!

 

Where these things happen in the outback of the Mall parking Lot when everyone else has left and it is so very dark.

But for the lights of a Waffle House in the distance.

 

I believe @Timmah! has a very informative mall crawling video.

A must see for anyone who values safety in the wilderness.

 

Yes, I do have a mall crawling video. Enjoy the stupidity.
