This may be a dumb question, but instead of buying another ARB winch line dampener, could I use a couple of old ankle/wrist weights as extra dampeners? They have 10lbs of weight in a nylon 'sheath' with a velcro fastener. A little red neckish, but I think they'd do the job.
Using ankle/wrist weights as winch line dampner?

That's extra weight to carry, no pun intended. It's not about the weight so much as destroying the
inherent tension in the line. Just use a blanket or a heavy jacket. But your ankle weight idea is
good for sure.

The ankle weight will just be another projectile like a bow shackle (more or less)

Have a couple old sleeping bags that are good for about nothing else I carry for pad to use to lay on for a trail repair, extra padding under good sleeping bag or on winch cable.
