First Winch Recovery
Performed my first winch recovery tonight. Sunday morning another Jeeper (a Marine) had gotten his YJ stuck and then recovered and Sunday night a guy with a Dodge 1500 (another Marine) wanted to see where he got stuck. And of course he got stuck. They tried to pull him out but couldn't get him out. After work we headed over there and I got him out. He was across a ditch about 50 feet. I put a tree saver around a tree with shackle and pulley and tied my Jeep off to a tree with another strap. Threw a weighted bag over the cable and winched him out. Took maybe 15 minutes total.

Damn, two recoveries back to back....I'm jealous. Good pulls.
Nice...errr.
Marines...shoot me a PM if you have not received an invitation to the Jarhead Jeepers social group on this site and would like to be a member.
