Remember, when you use a mechanical advantage like a snatch block for a 2:1 theoretical advantage you also double up the load on your anchor and all the components in your winching system. When you use a mechanical advantage you increase the chance of gear failure somewhere in your hauling system. Snatch blocks are good solutions, when used correctly.
