Looking at options to extend my Kinetic rope for recovery over my 30' ropes capacity.
Talked with the manufacture of my rope and they were good with using a tow strap, kinetic/recovery strap, or another kinetic rope as long as it had the same shock rating. My vehicle weight is at 6950lbs wet and following the 3X shock rule of thumb my rope is rated at ~24,000lbs.
Currently I carry a 30' kinetic rope rated ~24K, 30' tow strap rated at ~30K, and would like to add another 25'-30' capacity.
I also have a synthetic winch with extension and needed tackle.
A winch has been proven ineffective on beach recoveries due the inability of secure the winching vehicle. In a couple of beach recoveries only a kinetic rope has been effective.
Options considered -
Another kinetic rope
kinetic/recovery strap
Tow strap
Looking for feedback from other with experience.
