By jove I think I'm beginning to get it! Now I can see why the "speed" of the winch is important. With two or three snatch blocks, the speed slows way down...
The blocks, if using a winch with a maximum pulling force of 9,000 pounds as an example would need to be rated 18,000#, at least, right... Preferably a bit more for safety?
So, now for the million dollar question. When I get my new H2 stuck, how do I figure out how much force I will need to unstick it? Maybe those books on recovery that just I ordered will help me figure something out for myself! <grin>
I really appreciate all the helpful and friendly info! Can't wait to get my winch...
