The Chipper Winch Thread

We use a Chook on our winch line and choke the load with an endless loop sling. I don’t dare keep any metal on our winching system, people will always find a way to run it through the chipper.

Steel snap or carabiner. I usually splice when they're new but just tie an anchor bend or bowline after they wear out/break. I keep a short chain for dragging on asphalt or concrete, but it's rare to use it. I feel like the winch lines are kind of a wear item, they usually last a few years anyhow and we use a winch alot.
