And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A kinetec rope can do a static pull. A strap can't play Yankem rope. A strap is better than nothing, but I'd rather have a kinetic in the truck. Coupla soft shackles, Watching YouTube off-road recovery videos is a hoot.
Buy 100 ft of good nylon twist rope, cut into 3x sections, braid with loops on either end. I got about 30 years out of my first one. Kinetic ropes are like big rubber bands and will snatch a much bigger vehicle out on the first try.
Isn't a kinetic extraction how that guy got killed last year or so? (Yes, I know. Vague, but I don't have the exact reference at my fingertips) The towing driver took a run at it, using his drop hitch as the attachment point (first mistake). It snapped and the stretchy tow strap flung the broken receiver thru the windshield of the stuck vehicle.
I see .35K lbs...as in POINT35Klbs! ...more deceptive chinashite product labeling?...asking for a friend!
