Don't go out without this. Not only will you mess up your winch cable if you don't use the tree strap provided, but you will damage if not kill the tree. If we don't protect the enviroment we go 'wheeling in, they will close it off and where does that leave us. The leather gloves are also a saftey must. The snatch block allows for a double pull.

Since getting stuck where I slid of the trail partways on an off camber trail, I ended up buying another tree strap and snatch block. It was so off camber that when we had my winch on the back and another winch cabled to my front, when moving backwards the front tire lifted. I very likely would have rolled if not for the cable hooked to my front bumper. Now with two tree protector's and snatch block's I could have hooked on to both ends and done the recovery with only 1 winch.

I got this since trees are not always close enough or available around here. The best winch is worthless without something to hook onto! The Pull-Pal gives me a solid anchor almost anywhere. It also allows me to get the maximum pull from my winch every time by allowing me to unspool your winch cable to the proper layer that gives maximum pull. As the Pull-Pal web site says "You lose considerable pulling power (up to 20% on some units) with each layer of cable left spooled. So when you're really stuck, and you need all the power you can get from your winch, YOU NEED Pull-Pal!"
