- Hopefully you never need to splice the winch rope on your 4wd winch while your bogged on a muddy hill. But in case you ever need to, here is how!
One of the biggest advantages of rope instead of winch cable, is that you can actually repair it out on the trail.
Appreciate the effort you went through to make this content. Also prob the best 4x4 tip content I have seen. Keep up the great vids!!
Thanks for the comment Ron, I really appreciate it 🙂. Glad you enjoy the channel so much!
@@SeekAdventure that rope was allready cut to break.. of that is 5/8 rope,should stand 5t. easy. clik bait,how about real vids. not bs..
Yes it was already cut as you can see at the end of the video 😉🙂.
What would you film to make the start of a winch rope repair video interesting? 🤷♂️ I could just start it with 'Today I'm going to show you how to'. But that's just not the fun nature of my channel 🙂
@@SeekAdventure shoulda put the end at he beginning.. makes sense..
@@phantomwalker8251 They are called outtakes for a reason 😉
From Soft Shackles to winch rope repair !! This rope is amazing !! Ive gotta get some. If you cut it 4 times before it broke....then its worth every penny of its price. I learn a ton of stuff here brother, thank you
Mate this could be the best off road advice I have seen I had no idea how to fix this stuff thank you could’ve a life saver for some
Well done very educational and well explained
Cheers
My God, man you are the best, I have been doing off roading for about 6 years now and this is the first time ever I learn this useful trick.
I know how strong (and expensive) a good winch robe is so the fact that you cut it on purpose for making this video just blow my mind. Respect form UAE 😊
You're an odd fella but you're also bloody serious, That's what I like about you. Great vid. Subscribed and hit the bell !
Thanks mate, glad I've found an audience that doesnt mind the quirky side. Thanks for tuning in! 🙂
@@SeekAdventure naw, we love you, dude
@@SeekAdventure I love the quirky side too....and the humour...lol
Wow, great video. I learned heaps from your Dyneema rope sacrifice. Thanks so much, man.
Outstanding video pal. I don't own a 4x4 but I still really enjoy watching your content. I do hike and hammock camp frequently; I've replaced my suspension lines with Amsteel, and the exact same principles apply with rigging and repairing the Dyneema material.
Congratulations on the "creator on the rise" designation. It's well earned. Cheers from the USA.
Really informative and enjoyable. I noticed in a previous clip you had a habit of stepping over the winch rope while it was under strain or tension, can I suggest this is an action best avoided. Keep the videos coming. 👍
I live in England (unfortunately) and will never experience what you talk about but your videos are addictive. Thank you.
A well-produced and informative video once again, thanks!
Today's video brought to you by the word, "virtually".
The effort you put in to create this video is proper standout stuff. Round of applause!
WOW, this showed up in my stream. I watched this when it came out, and it's still some of the best content for overlanding and off-roading I've ever seen.
What a major effort to create this informative video! Impressive!
One of the best vids i've ever seen !!
Your explanations are really clear...
Thank's a lot Mate!!!
Greetings from Ensenada, Baja Mexico....✌👍👍
Your videos are the best man. Love the light humour throughout
Great video. Also worth mentioning if you’re not in a position to splice the rope two bowlines work really well.
or a spare winch rope huh
Thank you,. Very educational. Thank you for being so generous with your time and equipment.
That was great. I swear, the things you do to make a great video, thanks!! Stitching 🧵 video next, please.
Please come back this has been one of the best channels on RUclips
Hope you can do another vid showing the permanent stitching. Not sure I trust anyone to demonstrate it so well! ;)
Love listening to this guy talk reminds me of the auses I worked with in Afghanistan 👊🏻
Greeting from Western Washington, U.S.A. Good skills and tips no matter where you are off-roading. I have relatives all over Australia. You might be one of them.
Thank you so much for all your good work I bet you enjoy your self because we enjoy learning from you thank you so much and don't stop
I also recommend using a snatch block if you are REALY stuck, easier on everything!
Great video! For me try to buy a reliable brand of recovery gears like Miolle recovery gears for peace of mind. Used there kinetic rope multiple times no signs of damage and worked like a charm. Nice hi-vis color makes it easy to see and, more importantly, stay clear of during the snatch. Seems very well made and robust. I definitely recommend this kinetic rope.
Id love to go for a 4x4 trip with you, you always seem so happy and would just take things on your stride. Happy days!!
I feel sorry for your winch rope, but thanks for sharing with us, the techniques for splicing the broken ends of the rope together. As always, your videos are very informative and educational, keep it up mate.
Great video! Very helpful and you did an excellent job explaining and showing how to do the various splices. Thanks so much
Nicely done brother.
I really like your little bloopers at the end. I've seen other you tube channels that have their little blooper sections at the end of the clip, and they are always entertaining.
Always learning something. I initially thought why not use a steel cable? Then at the end I saw how tough this stuff really is.. and repairable.
Plus steel cable weighs so much more (huge difference when running it up a hill), and you need to wear heavy gloves when handling it to avoid slicing your hand open on any loose strands, the only problem with rope is you have to avoid rubbing it against rocks (but you can buy sliding sheaths that just stay on the rope, roll up on the drum and be be placed where needed).
Great information! That’s a whole lot quicker than braiding ! They didn’t teach that one in the Navy.
I guess it helps to part the rope by leaving the parking brake on too! Good video/education all uses need when the line truely parts for; whatever reason! Enjoying the video's !
Youre pretty young but very knowledgeable. Thank you for posting these videos. I am beginning my off roading experience in a 2018 Jeep JLU Rubicon, my wife has a 2019 JLUR. (Las Vegas Nevada, USA)
watching the set-up at the end really shows how durable that rope really is.
Well done
Works like Chinese finger cuffs! Super easy I’ve done a couple repairs like youve shown but on smaller diameter dyneema for side x sides with 3500 lb to 4500 lb winches! Great demo man!
I can’t believe someone put a thumbs down on that bit of info ...... Not to many would think of the splice inside each other ,they op for a knot well done mate hope the new winch cable was worth it 😁
Had no idea you could repair a winch rope. Another tool for my offroad toolkit. Thanks.
Thanks, good stuff, I miss seeing your regular videos and hope you are well.
You do very good videos. Professional, simple but through explanation of 'How to perform, what -to-do' in an unexpected situation. I have found Life usually doesn't give one a classroom/ Lab example, rain, mud, fire, medical emergency, etc., and the best one can hope for is to have some training, back-up options, and maybe some ingenuity & luck. Amazing what a creative human can pull off if you keep your head, and your videos are an excellent training resource. Thank you.
Awesome Video Mate thanks
From New Zealand 🇳🇿
Brilliant, thanks for putting that video together, extremely informative & great information to know. I've really been enjoying the content you show. Grateful.
Ha ha ha Stanley you just can’t trust him. Great video didn’t think it was that simple but probably far from easy 👍👍👍
Great video mate 👍
World record for saying dyneema within 13 minutes though 😂
-Dyneema-
@Graeme Yamaha I meant what I said Graham. Grammar lessons are next door 🚪 👈
👍
Came by from RFB website. Thank you.
Great vid and thanks a lot for your impressive efforts. I really learnt a lot and I'm about to figure out what I already got in my car to use instead of the wiring rope🤔. Looks like I have to buy it next time I'll be back in Australia, hopefully soon after this corona mess. Stay in health mate👍. Cheers from Reunion Island👋🏿
I wish I smiled that much when I'm pissed off.
Awesome videos.
Thanks for the video and I appreciate the sacrifice of the rope, thanks to the sacrifice I already know how to repair it for emergencies
Very effective rope skills you have bud much appreciated
Thank you after buying new winch I can put a new eye into the old rope and that way I will have a light weight winch extension! ... that will be good reuse of old but still good rope .... Thanks again
Another awesome informative vid tho, great work Mike. Keep em coming!!
If you do not have a wire use the oil dip stick from the engine or transmission they work well. Good job with the information.
You, young fella, are bloody awesome. great videos and very educational.
He is one of those people that are genetically gifted. He's not that young. In fact, he is 62.
thanks for the informative video my rope split towards the hook end so will be fixing it using your second method, however I cannot find any information on stitching it anywhere as I want it to be hopefully a permanent solution, if you have any information on the stitching or could point me in the correct position that would be greatly appreciated, thanks again!
Excellent tip! very usefull content on this channel! greetings from Switzerland
Just discovered your vids, love watching them and in particular this rope splicing, love the outtakes as well
Debating between steel and synthetic cable for when I buy my first winch, finding out you can do this definitely sold me on synthetic
Great video. Now you ain't no pen pusher so interested in knowing what your trade is. Keep up the good work
Fantastic video, best way I've seen to splice. Bloody brilliant m8. Thanks for your efforts.
UHH OHH, VIRTUALLY IS BACK!!
Haha, maybe one day I'll learn how to control my camera vocabulary!
Word of the wise, some markers can be a solvent to the ropes material and cause a weak point under strain. Happens in the climbing world with synthetic ropes. But great video!
First info, then tainment. Great stuff. Love the ending 😂
Another excellent vid, and new knowledge for me. Winner winner chicken dinner! Thanks bloke.
Excellent videos and thanks for taking the time
"Not what I wanted to do but I'll show you how to fix it" could clearly see you holding the brakes though 😂 good video man appreciate the content
Was waiting for a video from you! Finally got one, yeeew!
You should push the end through the entire rope a couple times before putting it inside that Way its locked and it only takes a minute longer Else pretty awesome guide
Couple - two is good ✔,
three is too much 🚫.
Excellent information!!
Another one of your great videos Michael. Cheers mate.👍
Behold the power of plastic...enjoying watching your videos from the USA.
No need to stitch it if you weave the tip completely through the rope a couple times before running it through the middle. Also, no need for the damper you're using there, seeing synthetic rope holds very little kinetic energy. Great video, mate!
The fencing wire beats using a blunt needle - Thumbs up !
Great demonstration and very practical.
Could also just tie 2 bowling knots in about 30 seconds and continue the recovery. Can be easily untied after high loads since it was used in sailing and can splice once back at home off the trail or replace.
Pretty sure I would be saying a different word than Far Out if my cable broke, still starts with F though...
another good video, thank you,i have enjoyed all your videos ecspecialy the drone work in your photography.
New drinking game - skull a beer every time you say "make sure there are no sharp edges otherwise it'll catch on the dynema" :)
You'll get more jacked if you take a shot every time he says "dynema"
I have put loops on the end of many a nylon rope like that and spliced two ropes together like that instead of tying them and explained to the questioning observers that it is stronger and easier to take apart than a knot.
Excellent video! Well done as always.
a little late to the video, but you could do a quick square knot to get yourself out. its easy to make and easy to take out no matter how tight it gets. i would still cut it to make the ends nice. it might even go in somewhat easily when you wind it back up
I am rewatching all the old videos. Where is the new stuff you teased us with at New Years? Come back!
Think the note you added at the end about tapering should be over entire video. If you dont do this the strength is highly compromised. Great video though, as always
Only an Aussie would get mad at a winch rope for NOT breaking. Haha
Good stuff!
🇺🇸
Great content and very helpful, but why dont you use a steel cable?
Dyneema catches on everything; that’s why they make fishing line and ballistic vests out of the stuff as well. 😊👍🏼
When terminating the rope. I always thought it’s better to pull it all the way through once before burying it inside. This way there is an additional change of direction to prevent the rope from slipping out. Infact I’m pretty sure with ski rope you’re supposed to weave it several times before burying it
A double Fisherman's knot works really well to join the rope together.
especially if your winch rope is old and worn as it can be hard to splice.
Although this would be a better permanent fix as knots can have trouble going through a winch Farleigh.
The double fisherman's knot is an awesome knot for joining rope 👌👌.
The only trouble with tying a knot is that you don't have the full rope strength. While splicing gives you 100% of the rope strength 👍. At the end of the day a knot will get you out of the situation though 🙂
Great video as usual, thanks for your hard work.
Hi mate, great video, around the 2min mark you mention 2 marks but only say how long the 2nd mark is: 72 x diameter of rope. What about the 1st mark?
Nice job there buddy. If you don't mind answering quick question,would you happen to know what the strength compared to original dope would be. Thank you.
Rope but I'm sure everyone got it. I've written whole paragraphs and looked back at the word that iPad changed to another word and sometimes it fits and changes the whole meaning. I know there is a way besides better proof reading and rewriting the whole thing but I don't know how. Not very computer savy but thanks again for a great video
Great video, mate. Learn something new everyday. Cheers.
what a proper video, thanks for sharing
Another top video mate thanks for the great info
Great knowledge. I never know before.
thats a good area where you did that take, been there a few times..good tips mate !
That was an awesome video. Thank you. (PS: I hope you have a sponsor for your cable.....)
Another very good video. Thanks for sharing.
You will never forget where you were when “virtually” took over from “literally”.
great tips and info mate keep up the great work
Another great tip. Keep em coming.
Assuming most offroaders don't carry a wire to fish through the rope, I'd be inclined to tie a rethreaded figure 8 to join the sections. Just going back to my climbing days. Maybe some sort of video on a true trail fix rather than a more sophisticated fix like this that is more likely done at home? Dyneema has different knot tying characteristics, some knots might not pass through a fairlead, knots lower breaking strength substantially in many cases, etc.
