I was having a discussion with my buddy on safe recovery points on our ATVs. In certain videos I have seen, the guy who is stuck will have someone just come up to their winch and hook onto the their winch hook. Is that going to any damage long term? I realize it’s all spooled up and engaged so maybe it won’t do any harm. Just don’t want to break the winch prematurely.
I am unsure if that is an appropriate method, I would think personally that maybe a tree saver strap wrapped around the front bumper then a D-Ring through the two ends would be a better option.
