At ARV this year, I spent some time talking with Mike from OEX. One thing he asked was, how long was my winch line? I responded 100 feet - how the winch came from Warn.
He told me that they like to cut the line down to 70 feet, and use the 30 foot piece as a winch extension. Less line on the drum means more pulling power. A shorter line means you have to pull it out less to get to the pulling power.
To me, this sounds like a good, although unconventional, idea. I have mentioned it to a couple friends of mine (non-AAV folks) and they don't think it is a good idea. (I chalk that up to their limited world views.)
What do you folks think?
I ask here, knowing that most of you have expanded world views (like me )
