nice info, maybe do a pdf with checklist to print and put in glovebox.
I'm only a 4wd newbie and havn't had the joy of recovery yet, but have done plenty of winch/block work with moving machinery,
There are a couple of other points that I always consider.
What will happen if something breaks.
a) will the load stop moving or roll away uncontrolled? - use chocks or secondary lines to stop load and reposition/retighten often
b) how will the equipment react? - blocks become projectiles, cables become whips - use mats on cables, safety lines on blocks
c) where are the safest places? - know the danger zones - especially in the line of the pull and if anyone needs to go into these zones to move or adjust anyting, stop the pull
And remember "maximum planning = minimal effort = maximum safety"
