Kinetic rope snapping
Mudlark:
I think it would be interesting to see some of the replyees do a KERR recovery just to see how they do do it themselves - like davidlandy I've only seen it done as per the video on more than one occasion and with different people.
I can't stand the stuff either and would prefer a rope/strap or winch on recovery
Bulli:
no probs , whenever you fancy mate. I stand by everything i say and if you ask anyone who knows me im more than capable of backing it up. Im not some armchair offroader and neither is eeyore.
I am not saying im the great i am, and we all cock things up. I operate a simple policy when out..if it need doing i do it. I wouldnt have hesitated to get the winch out and try that and in those circumstances i think thats the most likely course of action.
My winch gets used very regularily. I know how it works and it is the second i have had on the truck. I also have a healthy respect for what can go wrong.
Im still to see you in action but as im marshalling a few of the scorpion rounds this year cant wait to see you showing em how its done :wink: .
Mudlark:
Not knocking Bulli, just intrigued, we are all aware (sometimes) of how something should be done and then forget it in the heat of the moment, that's why I posed the question.
As for scorpion - it may be a possibility but later in the year - I have work to do first :lol: :lol:
davidlandy:
I think the main problem on KERRs is the lack of information. All of the recoveries I have seen using them seem to be with the vehicle giving it full welly and gunning it away. And I have seen lots of recoveries.
When a new KERR is purchased where does it say how to use it? I have seen many for sale and none of them came with instructions.
so in the absence of these instructions there is a high likelihood that the purchaser will copy how he/she has seen the others doing it.
maybe theres a good opportunity for somebody to write up a safe recovery process for use for club members?
