Your welcome[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] For the price they are on sale for[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I'm thinking about buying the kit myself[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Good ?

I don't know anything but this is how I plan on using mine.

Scenario 1 I am stuck all by my lonesome: Hook the ****** block to the tree/rock that you would have used to winch off of. Loop your winch cable around block and back to ATV. You have just doubled the pulling power of your winch

Scenario 2 Your buddy is stuck and you want to position your bike to the side.: Hook the block to a object in the direction you want your buddy to move, Position your bike to the side, Loop your winch cable around block and back to your buddies ATV.

Scenario 3 I just killed a really big elk somewhere I can get my quad.: Hook the block to a BIG Tree, Hook up Elk. Lift elk a little at a time, Skin elk, Lower elk onto atv trailer drive to butcher with a whole elk for a change.

Realistically I will have to quarter it and pack it out of some death hole as usual, but we can hope.

I am sure now I have these scenarios someone will provide some constructive feedback.

You can go to the local hardware or Tractor Supply store. I bought one there for $ 25.00 & it works great.

Yep, you got it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

By doubling the cable up on a ****** block, you double the pulling power. It works slower, but stronger pulling power[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
