    When I use a pulley to setup a mechanical advantage and hence reduce load on the winch, do I also reduce the load on the rope/shackles/pulleys?

    For instance, say I'm doing a 3T winch pull, with no pulley it's 3T on the winch, rope, straps. With a pulley involved, it's 1.5T on the winch, is it also 1.5T on everything else?

    1.5T on the winch drum
    1.5T on the winching vehicle anchor point and any rigging
    1.5T on the cable from the winch to the snatch block
    1.5T on the cable from the snatch block back to the vehicle anchor point (it is the same cable so must have the same load)
    3.0T on the snatch block (2 cable loads at 1.5T each)
    3.0T on the anchor point of the snatch block and rigging to whatever you anchored the snatchie too.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
