Assisted pulling technique?

[Steve Bullman]

I can't believe I am the first one to say this but... I never needed any assistance 'pulling', however I am married now so those days are over!

 

 

Give it a few months

The average human male can put 35kg force of pull on a horizontal rope, given average ground traction. A three to one system would thus give you approximately 100kg pull. Thats a lot of messing around with rope and pulleys. One can buy a pocket size chain lever hoist for reasonable money which will give a 250kg pull. Just saying...

 

Aye that was my point, u can buy cheap 1 or 2T winches every now and again in aldi for 20 quid (not very good thou, right enough) but gives u an instant 1T pull or 2T throu a snatch block, and doesnae take up much room in van.

 

Even throu a 5:1 system if u can pull with 35kg ur only pulling with 175kg, but if its high enough that may be enough, but does seem an awful lot of hassle but worthwhile knowing just incase u've left ur winch at home but doubt i'd have enough carabiners to rig it up most days
