Synthetic winch line and recovery rings completely changed the world of winching and recovery. Then Alan at @YankumRopes came up with a solution to one of the only issues with the system when he designed the offset recovery ring. The non spinning ring stops any friction wear and heat from being placed into the soft shackle, and took the idea of the recovery ring a step further.
But when I got a late night almost panicked sounding call from Alan telling me that the offset rings also have another massive feature that no one had thought of, I had to try it myself!
Since I removed the hook from my winch lines, I can easily pass the loop on the end of my line through e center of the ring and use it as two snatch blocks in one. That allows me to do a 3, 4, or 5 part pull with only two recovery rings and three soft shackles and the whole setup weighs less than three pounds. To do that same thing with traditional snatch blocks and steel shackles, you would need to have four steel snatch blocks, and five steel shackles. Which is a lot of weight, and a lot of space taken up in your rig.
Now of course, these offset rings and the grooved fairlead that allows you to ditch the hook are expensive, no doubt about it. But once you realize the capabilities that they allow, you realize that they are actually cheaper than four quality American made steel snatch blocks and five shackles.
I’ve tested this setup a few different ways since this video, and am extremely happy with how well it works. This absolutely changes my entire mindset on how much gear I need to carry, and how I rig up recoveries. But as always, keep the working load limits of your gear in mind and be sure to stay within them. This technique can create a lot of force with a small winch and the gear your using, as well as the attachment points you’re hooking to on the vehicles needs to be kept at safe pull numbers. This is purely a demonstration of the type of force this technique can create.
