    The advice you have given may be useful in the hands of an experienced 4wder in extreme circumstances but is entirely inappropriate to be potentially putting that technique in the hands of a novice. That has every chance of going seriously pear shaped.
    There is such thing as a winch extension strap too that most people would have in their recovery kit. Rarely have I not been able to find something within its range to winch from.

    Having completed the 4wd Vic advanced training a couple of years ago, the technique you describe was never once discussed.

    And on the subject of class clowns:
    Yes, yes there are, aren't there........

    Anyway, life goes on.
