Winching Techniques - Carbon Winches Australia & Great Off-Road Adventures

To follow on from our Carbon Winch install video, I've put together a nice easy to follow winching techniques video, this is great for people who haven't used or aren't 100% familiar with how to best setup a winch recovery.

I hope you find the video useful - I'm working on doing 2-3 more videos covering other recovery techniques and devices/ equipment.

Make sure you check out

Cheers, Happy & Safe Adventures - Graham

Don't you just love that Gnangara sand?... nice video Graham.

Great vid Graham. Good tips throughout. Looked like a nice hit out for your new winch!! Look forward to the next.

Pulling that tree out of road is awesome! Never think about that you can use the winches for that. And with that winch, Land Cruiser is unbeatable in every condition, you can even make your own way 😎

Great video as usual 👍🏻

The 'ding' at 12:01 was indeed in the video, (checked my devices for the mystery notification)
Thanks for the vid

Just a reminder to always wear gloves when handling the winch rope, and go hand over hand when feeding the rope back into the winch, never let it slide through your hands, if there was a stick or small piece of wood stuck in the rope you might slice your hand. Great video, thank you for sharing with us all...

Great Video Graham :) Love our 12K Carbon Winch on our D4 :) Cheers, Don B. (Dons Shed) :)

just a note - winch blankets without sand in them do nothing!

[neutronstorm]

Just a quick note to say that when using the ARB recovery points you are meant to put the shackle through the loop ( not the pin ). See the instructions that came from ARB for details. i am not sure if it makes a big difference however always best to follow the manufacturers instructions. Thanks for the video.

Just a couple of things I noticed in your demonstration, first the recovery vehicle was still shuttering at the end which would suggest you were still in trouble and moving that tree, I would suggest you don't stand anywhere inside the ropes or cable because if that pully wheel does give way for any reason you'll be in the line of fire. Much better to be standing on the outside of the ropes/cables to avoid being stuck by a flying object.

Hi Graham - your winch didnt seem to free spool very well? looking to buy a carbon winch, have a 200 as well

[volcanic]

Good one chief! Just wondering how the carbon winch is holding up, any issues, do you think it will go the distance ?

[TyFenwick]

What’s your opinion on the sound that comes out of these winches mate ?

I’ve had one for about 2 years and it’s has to be one of the loudest winches I’ve ever used, sounds like the gears are destroying them selves inside.

[guanghunglo]

What you do when you no have tree? In china most tree chopped down. No able to attach winch to tree. Maybe better to get donkey team from farmer to pull out.

[rbrdly]

Not a good idea to stand where this guy was standing when he used the snatchblock to move the tree. Had the shackle failed, it would have headed straight at him. Death triangle.

[mylesstanton]

Mate that's not a double line pull all you have done is change the direction of the rope, a double line pull requires 2 parts of rope supporting the load not included in the line out of the winch. So what you need is rope to tree with snatch block, back to car to another search block then back to tree.

[jimbrown]

Please explain technically how your winch runs at half speed when using a single fixed pulley system in your so called double rope pull, that has no mechanical advantage

Bit of a muppet, no gloves, but we all know dyneema drops with basically no recoil, that’s just mentally carried over from using cable, , and don’t forget to put your seatbelt on 😝😝🙈
