    Don't you mean 120 degrees at each point of the equalateral triangle
    I'm confusing myself as it is 60 degrees on the "inside"

    For me though a snatch block for my winch is crucial and then a bridle would be great aswell, I always try to do a 2 fall/line pull as a minimum if possible

    I think Cuppa is right, if you are using one strap between the 2 hooks on your chassis rails, then back through a snatch block to your winch, then you still need another strap to attach the snatch block to a tree.

    If you go from the winch to the tree then you only need one strap (used as a tree trunk protector)
    If you were doing a double line pull off a tree and want ed use an equaliser strap bewteen your two front recovery points you'd need two straps. 1 as a trunk protector and 1 as an equaliser
