The below is correct IF the winch truck is pulling ITSELF out of the
mud!
If you're pulling ANOTHER truck out:
Do this:
>From the winch to a pulley on the stuck truck, then to get more weight
to pull with, hook the end of the cable to a truck next to the winch
truck. That way you get double pulling force AND a better anchor to
pull from.
Now if you still need more force, put a pulley on the truck next to the
winch truck and run the cable back to the stuck truck.
There,........ that ought to confuse you even more!
