    Do wonder also if possibly a very fine say skateboarders ‘grip tape’ and or wet & dry fine sand paper affixed to a drum may assist? Only in wacky theory and you’d still loose a few good feet as PeeBee mate above although we really shouldn’t be pushing those limits too far anyway. Winch extension straps I believe should be our first go to unless in absolute dire straits needed!
    Maybe the fine grit on the drum over time could cause too much new age winch rope abrasion on the first spool layer wrap?

    These are what comp guys are using nowadays. Pretty cool and so basic!

    We use a very similar concept on a larger scale when spooling on re-conductoring ropes, firstly started with a large clove hitch around the drums.
    Trailer will get off the ground way before the rope even considers detaching.

    Not a crazy idea Mark. Its simply a friction/force issue. The grippy surface is going to reduce the slide around the drum. I guess the issue becomes by how much is there a differential between the outer fibres that are stuck to the sandpaper and the internal fibres stretching under tension - does it affect the integrity of the rope - maybe?. In reality you are not losing any rope length with the strap as its still the same length you could not access without the 'restrictor' I reckon. I will give min e a go and also the brother as he is sure to put his winch under more duress than mine, and see what the outcome is - stay tuned!

    TJM winch

    That’s Mega Hodgey Legend:-)
    Go the starter ‘triple clove’ now proven on rope for sure good man was my honest original thoughts although genuinely worried that steel cable blokes direct to drums may misconstrue and squish out all structural integrity?
    Quite new to recreational recovery rope myself but do love it now too, shiploads less steel splinters and a lot less airborne danger breakage potential I’m lead to believe too?

    EDIT: ‘Clove hitches’ , themselves are not Nanny Nation banned these days, just roping down your truck loads :-) Best to sarcastically entrust in a $19.99 watchet China ‘CE’ tagged strap from Brunning’s safety department, LOL :-)

    “If you need good rope, work & play, can highly recommend Aussie Made, (Whittam Ropes - Carrum Downs - Victoria- Australia)”
