Using a hitch shackle

Thought this was an interesting example of using a hitch shackle to winch back on the road. To read more about it, click here.

Let me see if I understand this . . . . either his rear end slid off the trail or the whole truck slid sideways . . . .

so he hooked up two pulleys to some trees using tree or recovery straps and by running the winch cable through them, he actually pulls himself sideways back up onto the trail!?!?!?

I'd love to see a video of this one.
