They work really good for breaking the suction!!

 

I will not uch a chain for trying to pull somone out or being pulled out!

 

well the chains rated for 70,000lbs, it's pretty beefy

 

That tow strap you have will do fine. I'd be really surprised if your broke that but yeah a ****** rope is better to have. Tow straps tend to break at the loops when you ****** with them.

 

the procomp straps are pretty bad A lol, it's reinforced at the loops for extra yanking

 

If used correctly, there is nothing wrong with using chains. Its when people don't know what they are doing and yank on the chain that accidents happen. Thats why the professional recovery companys use chains, not straps.
Those straps with the hooks at the end are more dangerous IMO.

 

good pics

 

well lets see i have had an 03 explorer 4x4 bone stock, a 01 dodge dakota with a custom engine, and trans "it was my grand fathers and he wanted some thing that would still do 70 mph going up hill with 1 ton of coal in the bed" 2x4, and now my 06 f150 5.4 3v 4x4 bone stock. i have never gotten any of my trucks stuck in any thing. The 03 explorer was drove through a lake at one point i had water coming over the hood "i was trying to kill the damn thing lol" and not a problem my buddy went through the same lake behind me and he blew out all of his o2 sensors and got stuck close to the shore of the lake and we had to call his buddy who works on the military bace we were kinda on and they had to bring a tank recovery truck to get him out. The 01 dodge made it through 3" of thick swamp mud when we had to run from the cops because it was after dusk and where we were the rules state you have to leave by dusk all with a flat tire as well thanks to my buddy for that. and the 06 F150 drove it throughout all of the snow storms last year witch the one storm we had close to 3 feet of snow. that one storm i pull 20 people out of snow drifts snow banks off of hills and out of ditches. GOD I LOVE MY TRUCK LOL. i will post some pics if i can find them.

 

Here we go winter of last year this is one of the guys at the fire house's truck. we were using his truck to pull a "sled" around the fire house. well he got stuck in a snow bank. note i pulled him out more than a few times that night.

while I was working the wife took the truck and played in the snow that I had plowed to the side of the yard in front of the garage. The three foot of snow plowed up plus two foot of snow on the other side got her hung up to the frame. a little digging and jacking it up to fill in the holes she made got it out. tthis pic was taken after I had dug the truck partially out. the snow was up to the bumper, and up to the running boards.
bad enough after working 22 hours straight to come home to this.

 

so truckman does that count as stokes training - haha

 

That's a nice looking 250 you have!!

 

Yes that was a high speed extract with a stokes only takes 3 people 2 to take the rope and stokes down to the person and one to hit the gas when we say go. Works like a charm on those down hill sledding acc. LOL
