Some big wet ruts + breaking my brand new snatch strap

[HallyGUTE]

Leave the 11,000kgs snatch strap for the OKA and the F trucks mate.

By reading the thread above you should have a greater understanding of how Stuck you really were, the weights that you were dealing with and armed with this info your in a better position to make educated, informed and safe decisions about how best to extract your car. You should have winched out of that on a Double line pull, Slowly. Releasing the suction layer as you go.

How did you get out out of interest?

Using a snatch there next time maybe think about not trying to get it out on the first Hit. there would have been nothing wrong with him building up to the big one using smaller tugs to see about loosening the suction on your car. You would likely have got it out on the 5th or 6th pull i reckon.

Sorry mate, not having a go at you, that is not why you posted it up. I am a big fan of sharing info to make our hobbie safe for everyone. That is why we are all here.

Enjoy mate, Nice car. looked like fun.

G'day mate, cheers for the link i'll definitely check it out and thanks for the tips about the 11000kg strap, i hadn't considered that. After the strap broke i just winched myself out and it was easy enough. just a single line pull nice and slow and it was all good. Cheers for the advice mate

Update: so i just read the link you posted and first off i'd like to thank you because i just realised how little i knew! i dont even want to do the maths on the bog i was in because both my rear tyres were under water! definitely a lot of extremely useful information in there and i encourage everyone to have a look at it. Thanks again!
