Hey all,
I was browsing the forums and I had a thought. What are the main differences between using a snatch strap recovery and recovery by winch when stuck in the desert? On my first drive with you guys I saw both methods used successfully, but I have been thinking about it ever since, I can’t understand why each was used in each situation.
Are there particular scenarios where each method should be used?
Thanks in advance.
