Oh and while I am at it for those that struggle with angles, if all sides of a triangle are the same you have 60 degrees ie 2 m between tow points and a 4 meter bridle will give you the 60 degrees..

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"

Beauty, I have two front recovery points, why not use both? Now I don't need to buy two straps.

If winching off a tree wouldn't you need two?

Correct me is I am wrong 180 degrees in each triangle... 3 x 60 equals 180 ?

Winch and tree protector. Unless using an extension strap..

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
