… that’s the question. Most in the knowing, and I tend to agree, claim that once you have it, it will be utilised mainly to help others – nothing wrong with that. Another theory and my main concern, when you really need it, i.e. sand, mud, river, etc., will there be something to hook onto. If not, it’s useless, right? Not quite.
Pull-Pal in action Copyright Pull-Pal
A fellow Namibian off-roader (thanks Werner) – funny enough we met through a German forum – pointed me to Pull-Pal, an American product also used by the military. When I saw it, everything came together and started making sense. I had a rough concept of some sort of ground anchor in mind for a long time, I just couldn’t figure out how to best do it, plus what kinda steel to use, as regular mild steel obviously won’t do it (Werner, I agree).
Looking at the product and its price, I don’t think it would be worth even attempting a home-made solution. I believe the Pull-Pal is properly conceptualised, manufactured and tested – no need to reinvent the wheel.
To me, that’s a no-brainer. I’ll order one and the winch question is now also a definite ‘yes’. It is one of those items I rather have than not have. If the rare occasion, where you really do need it, never arises, even the better.
What do you think?
