G'day mate. An interesting and informative post - sounds like you have experience in the rigging area. You might like to tell us a bit about yourself in the "introductions" thread please, so others can meet you.

G'day 4bye,
No, not a rigger mate but work offshore with equipment that has it's own (big) electric winches, hydraulic A-frames etc (ROV).
Also learnt a lot of this rigging stuff too many years in ago in basic engineering theory in the RAN.
I'm electronics/electrical by trade but current work involves hydraulics too, so as I said in the intro, know a bit about everything apart from engines.
In my early fifties and continuing to learn, every day!
Cheers,

Really handy video.
Great thread.
Does dragging a unprotected chassie through a sticky situation pose a greater load than one with plates fitted ??.
Would have thought any protection plates underneath would have a sled effect and thus help reduce resistance to recovery.
Has any one noticed a vehicle with plates fitted seems to be easier to recover?
