well i only have 2 so far with the start of snow, one guy went into a wall and bounced around a little but we got em home and as far as people sueing it does happen but i was always taught to inform the person with the stuck vehicle that you are not liable for any damage and if they want a liable person they will prolly be waiting for about and hour or two for one at least out here and i always have them hook it up and i just give my opinion as to where to hook it up if it was me. what ever it takes to cover your own A%& and help some one out

Last week I helped out a county sheriff out. He had stopped a vehicle and after the traffic stop, he could not get out of the snow bank on the side of the freeway. I stopped, backed up and pulled him out. I thought that was pretty cool.

Theres no freakin snow! I'm just north of Grand Rapids, MI and there is no f*^#king snow! Well, about 3 inches on the ground, but now the weather guy is calling for mid 40's all weekend! I, like most Jeepers look forward to the winter, and in west michigan, of all places, there is no snow. .. .

Not to be a jerk or anything but I wont pull anyone out who doesnt have a properly installed recovery point. Not worth the risk of damaging there stuff or getting hurt. I wouldnt even risk damaging my tree strap.

Oh and to add to the discussion regarding tow strap vs winch, I always use my winch when I have a choice. Of course I have a synthetic winch line which makes using a winch a heck of a lot easier.

Question, I get how to tow someone out and how to use a winch to get myself out but best way to use winch to get someone else out? Level ground only? what if they are down a bit of a ditch?
