The Yankum Ropes XL Winch Ring had a BIG Secret!

Merry Christmas everyone! Here’s a 10% discount link to Yankum’s website! bit.ly/CHRyankum (Alan tried posting this but YouTube is acting a fool and blocking his comment because it contains a link 🤦🏻‍♂

The "flat rope look" is just like a Chinese finger trap. The more that you pull on it the tighter it grips because the fibers are tightening up, but when you stop pulling the fibers relax and it goes back to its normal condition.

There seems to be a supervisor (wearing a brown coat) on the premises, constantly… watching your every move, judging all you say…

Those rope-doughnut thingies sure are mighty impressive. But not quite as impressive as your efforts to disarm five minute experts. Very thorough presentation. Sidenote: I've seen enough Looney Toons to know that flattening things don't actually do any damage to them.

I absolutely love how much Casey embraces the negative conspiracy nuts, and how much they enhance his videos perceptions by the YouTube algorithm. Perfectly dry sarcasm. Thank you Casey.

Ships have been using stationary/non rotating points in their rigging for centuries. People have been connecting tow straps/winch extensions like you showed for a long time too, make sure you get the twist out. This is old technology that got replaced with new technology and is being rediscovered. Thanks for addressing the frictional loss, 10% is a much more reasonable number then the guy from Florida comes up with. Thanks for also pointing out the traditional rings spin on the same spot on the shackle, also with no damage. One last thing, all synthetic winch rope manufacturers use solid fare leads not roller fare leads.

You are doing great job of showing people how to use their winch the right way love your videos

The Yankum pulley is also a very good aluminium heatsink, the anodizing is an excellent heat transfer material, energy moves from hot to cold, so the pulley would soak the energy away and radiate it.

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 😁🎄🎉

Merry Christmas morning Casey. Had to chuckle that square knot you use is exactly the way we join a tapered leader to a fly line for fly fishing. It makes changing your leader easier than tying a nail knot. I’ll be using some of your winch multiplying tips to topple a high unsafe leaning deer blind so I can build a lower safe deer blind closer to the earth! My side by side winch only has 50’ of braid so I am going to have to use an extension as you demonstrated. Glad I watched. Oh and it’s hard to believe but in my Northern Ontario city we are having a green Christmas. My Kubota BX2380 with a front blower, rear blade and heated cab is relaxing in the garage.

Personally I think Yankum ropes have done wonders with synthetic job making vehicle recovery far safer and easier….As a Electrician/High Voltage tech you and Allan need to see a demonstration from Greenlee (a Textron company).. I started to do my first real recoveries using D6 to D9 dozer with massive winches chains cables etc. which was a seasonal job with some part time work in winter plowing and sanding…I went looking for a year round job and I found one with a electrical company that was into heavy industry electrical work where I got introduced to Greenlee tugging equipment and synthetic rope and I learned the art of pulling cables (personal have pulled cables that weigh 15lbs/ft).From owning my own excavation equipment and doing weekend recoveries(there was no off road recovery companies in my area like Cascade or MORR etc) I incorporated what I learned using the big dozers and the synthetics from greenlee…I personally believe if you and Allan watched/saw the wire pulling techniques and equipment from Greenlee you just might come up with more great ideas for off road recovery..

I'm becoming a fanboy. Not because I like watching winch lines being wound onto spools, not because I like watching endless miles of Oregon hiways, not even for Grumpy's passive/aggressive jabs in the cab, but for the thought and energy Casey puts into dispelling constant verbal tumbleweeds spewing from the pie Holes of mental midgets that once towed a riding lawnmower across town for uncle Larry. PRICELESS!!!!!!!!

There’s a huge amount of science in this and proper training to do this type of work. The more we know.

Good morning Casey! Merry Christmas !

Those winch rope's and soft shackles are a great game changers when it comes to winching, thanks for educating us on what's available, thanks for sharing, Wishing you and your loved ones, Merry Christmas and Healthy and Prosperous New Year

IMHO Casey delivers the perfect balance of knowledge, snark, and sassiness to his videos. Plus, he's got a pretty well-tuned BS meter rattling around in that head of his. 👍🏼

Been a driver for near 4 decades, and I’ve been thinking of buying a wrecker, thanks for the education

OMG! Conspiracies! But ring, but no move, but synthetic, but. . . Sounds like a great product! Awesome collab and yet another reason to support Yankum and Casey! On the wish list!

I never get tired of learning new stuff with your explanations ! Thanks Casey, Merry Christmas to you and all :)

Excellent video, Casey. An amazing amount of research went into the development of this system, Kudos to Alan at Yankum Ropes and you for proving this out.
