I did spend a year after my A-levels at college and seem to remember there was another Revill, but I think it was a slightly different version - for the life of me I can't remember his first name - too long ago, too much red wine

Yes you can do this provided that the bridle is long enough so the apex is at a sufficient angle, around 30 degrees at the apex interior angle would be good. Also spread the load at the apex as the rope isn't designed for it, and ensure each end is properly terminated. 4wd Recovery Gear | 4wd Accessories | 4wd Equipment and Camping Gear Australia | Axe and Shovel Holder | Combo Shovel | Synthetic Winch Rope | Camping Lights| Autofridge Eutectic Refrigerators do something similar.

Nice to hear the differring opinions.
For the record, ARB sell these aleady made up. Can definately be used for a snatch as this was its design brief - winching and snatching.

That's interesting, theirs is only 2m long - I doubt that would give you a suitable angle at the apex, I was thinking 4 or 5m

Its a stretching one - does that make a difference to the theory?
