I did this table for winching, but it shows the variation in force depending on slope and surface.

I added that to the Links section. Thanks.

This is like having to take up an Open University course just to figure out how to rescue someone, I'll just tell them I don't have a rope

Rightly or wrongly, if the guys stuck don’t have a proper recovery point, I won’t ever snatch someone out just securing a strap randomly. I’ve seen a bullbar get ripped off a 4wd, and a shackle slam into the back of a wagon and lodge into the roof. Not going to be responsible for that.

100%. I once saw a guy trying to recover a stuck pickup truck in a telehandler with a strap around the ICBM, sorry the towball.

This is a good discussion about why the Ineos Grenadier/Quartermaster are expensive but WORTH IT if you use just cost of purchase from dealer as argument and plan on doing any offroading with them. Once you kit out a 70 series to have all the things you can get from factory on Ineos you might actually spend MORE...

I prefer the bolted on recovery points for light vehicles and road trucks. Most damage or distortion occurrs to the eye of the recovery point due to some change or unexpected movement in the recovery even with bridals, general wear or fatigue from multiple recoveries. Very rarely we see chassis damage from correctly bolted on recovery points. A damaged point welded to the frame requires cutting and welding and depending on the factory design this may not be recommend on some vehicles. Most owners or service departments don't check the integrity of a recovery point until it's too late. We regularly inspect and non destructive test recovery points with a crack testing dye kit, the easiest method, or magnetic particle testing. On machinery and vehicles the replacements are welded on by certified weldors. We do a lot of recoveries and post recovery equipment inspections during wet season.
The other point missed in many recovery videos is there is no mention of inspecting equipment at the time of recovery or derating of rigging in certain recovery scenarios. Most slings and shackles are rated for straight line pulls soon as there is angle or reeving involved the equipment has to be derated. Some rigging combinations will increase the loads on a recovery point beyond the weight of the car or terrain factors.
