I don't know anyone who carries three snatch blocks.

But- let's say you carry three all the time. The problem remains that you won't always have so many conveniently located winch points (all the trees in the video).

If I had to wheel solo in dangerous places, I guess I'd invest in a rear bumper winch. A friend has one (LeftHandRubi) and he can self recover and pull people forward with ease.

Thanks for the info-video. I've wondered how that would work, now I know.
Looks like I'll be in the market for some more snatch blocks.

Totally agree!

Great demonstration of physics though Hunty!
