Will do :)

Although, I can't guarantee when I will next get stuck on my own!! And what are the odds that it is out in the open with nothing to winch from :)

Don't be put off by the low pull rate. Mine is only 2000lbs direct load but 6000lbs rolling load. that's almost
3 tonnes. My Shogun was over 2 tonnes empty, add camping gear etc it was closer to 2 1/2. The little winch
always managed to get me out of trouble. :)

And if you use double up the cable using a snatch block then it doubles the pulling power

Also with a snatch block, double pull halves the line speed. Handy if its a tricky recovery.
Slow and steady always the best policy. :)
