ARB Winching and Recovery Kits - Winching How To
When the time comes to winch your vehicle, you will need to find a suitable anchor point. A vehicle parked in a stable position with a driver in the driver seat with foot on the brake is one method, but a tree also makes a good anchor point. When using a tree, a tree-saver strap must be used. The strap is wrapped around the tree and joined with a D-shackle, and the winch hook is then secured to the D-shackle. Not using a tree strap will not only damage your winch cable but could result in injury or death to the tree - and maybe a bystander. The ARB tree-trunk protector/tree strap is made from 100-percent polyester with reinforced eyes. It is 10 feet by 3 inches and offers a 26,000-pound breaking strength.
