Anyway, not to highjack, but more in the lines of adding to the conversation, these new synthetic winch straps......do they really NOT store energy like the companies claim? I just cannot see how that would work. Would certainly be a lot safer pulling with something like that if it's true. Any particular one yall recommend?

x2 on keeping any interested spectators at least two or three strap lengths away from a strap (or cable) under tension.

syth line just drop when cut under load even floats in water minus the end with the hook
as far as straps go check your strap before every use and everytime you clean it
you should clean your strap after every trip you use it on
not by just spraying it verticle but horizontally with the strap to keep the dirt from getting farther inside the strap
if the strap is only 2" wide I would not jurk anyone very hard with it
3" strap can take alittle more abuse but it never wise to get a running start
if you got to yank someone so hard you are have to back up 5' or more use a winch or get someone else to tie onto the stuck vechicle and pull in a v shape if possible
or attach to you and pull in a straight line
