Agreed anything that needs muscle power is too slow for most situations. I demonstrated the flip flop winch as an emergency aid using two broomsticks and a length of starter cord in the yard, never knew if anyone actually made use of it, I only used it to take down hung up trees.

Reminds me of the old emergency way to pull a car out of a ditch.

Tow-rope doubled over between car and a tree or sommat,

Then use a strong bit of timber to twist the two strands of the rope.

Hand over hand to tighten the rope.

And don't for gawd's sake let go of the timber
