That looks like the Broverlander Bingo card.
 
To quote a club member, "If they are not Camel Trophy types, the more crap they have strapped to their truck the less they know."

Here is a recovery question

What rigging is involved and what equipment is required to do an off angle winch pull, where there is no anchor straight ahead or close an you still need to be winched straight ahead?
 
Yes, that is correct, not the answer I was looking for.

How about re directed pull added to above description.
Have a drink for me Jamie.

AAA card, cell phone, whiny voice.

Pullpal works great when no anchor available, used on sand plenty of times, sometimes need 2 for heavy truck. Pulley block for redirect, but still needs an anchor for pulley. And cowbell, can't have enough cowbell
 
I was thinking using a tow strap to an off angle tree, say to the left. Block on the tow strap, line redirected to the right to another tree with tree saver. Block is then better center suspended from tow strap angle and vehicle can then be pulled straight forward.

Highlift, ratchet strapped to tire rim for that extra push. I like the old beach umbrella screwed in as an anchor or better yet a dog yard anchor.

Can I bring lawn darts?
 
We had lawn darts when I was a kid, so did lots of people. Never once heard of anyone local being hit by one. We did not have to wear helmets to ride our bicycles either. We rode skate boards without any padding either. We just called it "natural selection".

I've got a full set of Lawn Darts, in original box that I give to someone local to bring to Logan's Run, helmets not included...
 
Like I said, my offer stands. If someome from Greensboro or nearby wants to use it, lemme know. Mine is avail. 47 LBS dry. ;)
 
This morning: Cigarette lighter socket isn't working for some reason. Not the fuse... So I ran a line to the battery for the fridge. Pain in the ass doing it last minute but we're good now. Plus it's got a volt meter and 2 USBs which is nice.

Finished it up, jumped in and turned the key.... churning but no start.

Traced it down to a lose relay wire.

Back in business. Fingers crossed.

Leaving now.
 
Headed out

And a little friend I made at the campsite. Maybe he'll polish off the last of the fire ants. :)

Good times thus far. Cooked a steak, I hear wrenching... so I should probably go over there and nod... :)
Eh....

Seems to have quieted down. :)
Nice night.
