Metcalf, I am looking forward to your video. My issue is not with synthetic rope. I have been using synthetic rope to rig things since the 90's. I have no issue with soft shackles, I have none but if/when the need comes for new shackles I will probably go that direction. My issue is using...

This exactly as I see it. A company goes to China because they can get stuff done for cheaper but the quality suffers. I have no issue with this but I just want something I can rely on, I will have this generator for as long as I can. I am sold on the Honda 2200 watt now it is just finding...

Make me a believer. Show me a recovery over uneven ground where there's tension on and off that ring. Make it about a 75 foot pull over very uneven Terrain.

My wife (before we were married) worked for B&S before the went to China. They aren't what they used to be.

I don't have an issue with soft shakle or synthetic rope, just it configured with the aluminum ring to make snatchblock. I would have the same issue if it was configured with a cable or somehow with a traditional shakle. I just don't see it working as a pulley or snatch block in an off road...

I am thinking it is worse than silly, It seems dangerous. Rope to rope contact could lead to a catastrophic incident. You want to minimize the possibility of this with a piece of Velcro and a chunk of wood or plastic. That is crazy.

If you have to use other items to fix it then what good is it? So to use this you need some Velcro and a small piece of wood or plastic? I really hope nobody would ever use a small piece of Velcro and wood block for recovery of something as heavy as a vehicle. I am really trying to be open...

the group I go with basically meets on Facebook, we posted a few dates anyone that can accommodate the most people wins. We don't have meetings or anything like that. I posted up there and it seems to be split between FRS and GMRS But most have a CB. What would you pick between FRS and GMRS...

So what is the answer? As I read through this and think about things I can see the Merit and upgrade but to what? I've had the same CB radio since 2002 or 2003, couple Max and a handful of antennas. It is has always worked. It would be nice to have more range. At this point we will stagger our...

I am not saying get rid of your Ham. If you could only communicate with those you are traveling with using a CB radio would you get a CB radio or just not talk with them? If you are traveling in a group and keeping together what is wrong with using CB radios?

There are 38 other channels to choose from and unless your adventure include large amounts of HWY travel you will rarely encounter anybody on a CB.

When I was in the Army and moved every few years every club I went with and still go with used or uses CBs. While there are better and more capable systems a quick trip to Walmart, local truck stop, or thrift store you can be set up and ready to go in minutes and for probably $50 to $75...

When people are alone and do a recovery it is hard to watch things and in general people stay away from the area between the anchor and load. If you are pulling people over rocks there can be a lot of loading and unloading. In recovery I usually only use a pulley for change of direction. The...

What about rope to rope contact? As long as there is a constant tension the line should stay on the ring but if there is no tension the line can come off the ring. Tension picks up again and you would have rope on rope of line contact while you pull.

You fit all that in a CJ5?

If your tire just ends up flat it probably has a hole and a compressor can't fix that. If your compressor fails the worst case is you will have to drive on a lower pressure tire. If you rip a tire, loose a bead or some how destroy a tire you should have a spare. I know some rely on plugging a...

I would think the soft shackle or rope used to attach the ring to your anchor would get very warm do to the friction. Would that heat weaken and cause excessive wear on that soft shackle or rope? Wouldn't the knot in the soft shackle or rope also be a weak point?

It is not a Yamaha generator, just a Yamaha motor. Did a little internet googling and people have mentioned parts issues. Plus its I louder and 200 less watts than the Honda. Knowing Costco it is a big box store trying to pass off something that really isn't what it seems.
