Snatch recoveries? With rope or strop? Errr, no thanks!
Using a rope or strop to recover a vehicle the slack should be taken up gently before applying the load.
If it wont come out like that then winch.
Run and hide if someone gets a KERR out!!
its all good and well but have you ever tried winching a landy thats sunk up to the door bottoms and have no where to anchor the winch vehicle to it dosent happen then you are left with te only option of snatching the stuck vehicle out which i have done many time with no damage to my 90 or the stuck vehicle its just down to where you atach the rope
as for what to get you wont go far wrong with geting a good rope and a good strap they both have there own up points but kerr ropes are a big no no i had one snap on me the results where i needed a new rear door and a new windscreen not to mentoin a change of under wear it missed my head by an inch or two

Matt,
The entry forms seem to be for a 2 day event and £75, are you going to change them so we can enter.
the entry froms for the one day events are now avalable for download at http://www.badlrc.co.uk/winch.htm

first things first when you start building a challenge truck do it right the first time (unlike me ) dont skimp for the sake of a few quid but once you have started to enter evens you wont want to stop its just down to how much cash you have to spend i started out the same as you with laning and play days and slowly progresed to the challenge seen
you can enter the badlrc events with just a front winch if you want as they run classes for all types of vehicals this is where i started and would still be competing if it wornt for the credit cruch but hay ho il be helping run it for this year
you will never be asked or made to drive anything you dont feel up to and this is one thing badlrc events stick to
basic go to an event or to take a look at some of the trucks there and speak to the drives they dont bite and will help you no end they might even have some bits for sale
