[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 343272, member: 7269"] When I have been involved in a snatch recovery I have always used the snatch strap as a tow strap initially, it lets you know how hard the stuck vehicle will need to be pulled prior to getting a run up and pushing all atachment points to the limit. Progressivly load the strap more and more until you start to move or give up. You are able to walk away if you dont think it is safe to continue. Dont try and reverse recover another vehicle as the diffs are made stronger for forward loading, no sense in requiring a tow out after helping someone else out. As previously stated use a dampener, which may be a blanket, coat, sand bag, or even the mother in law if nothing else is available. Avoid shackles if possible and if not consider using one of the new rope shackles. Use apropriately rated snatch straps 2 ton vehicle requires 7 ton snatch strap, 3 ton vehicle requires 10 ton snatch strap. One last thing use a dampener. Ken. [/QUOTE]
