Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By m1awolf: It was just an idea. I have a zip line at the cabin for the grandkids but as they got bigger we needed a better setup. I had an extra 100" of 3/8 cable and used two tree straps a snatch block and made an improvised temporary zip line using the same trolley. It was good enough the adults could go down it. I like how they add the "CE" mark as if that means anything. You have now given me a project to add a zip line at my house as well.

With your favorite gal, go out in the woods, throw the line over a good branch of a tree. Attach a sex swing.
Have fun. |

They ran the cable up over the cab to another set of fairleads on the safari rack, one above the windshield and one at the back of the cab. They used it to winch an 1800 lb cape buffalo into the bed of the truck, it was impressive. What was also impressive was 6-7 trackers piled in the bed of the truck with the buffalo and 4 more men were in the cab, that little diesel Toyota truck never even grunted pulling all that weight out of a creek bottom.

The PH on my last trip had his set up like that. |

You could do like a guy at the power company who got stuck, double blocked his winch to something, and pulled his truck in half basically.

All right, great ideas so far! I forgot until just now that I did use my winch a few years ago to open a Bitburger after a backpacking trip:

I have also moved tons of large rocks with mine using an old tire chain as a sort of web sling to wrap around them.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By shaneus: Always wanted to pinch cars in two at the mall by looping the line around one and pulling it in real tight. The trick would be to anchor the car to something else with a double loop, and then pull a line in between them from the opposite side ~otherwise you're mostly going to pivot the car... |
