Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone might be interested in a free winch safety class. 4Mudders.com is going to have one in the Eastgate area on July 15th. Details are at www.facebook.com/4mudders

Would be great for someone just starting out, learn how to properly use that winch without hurting yourself or damaging your equipment.

Thanks!

i think its a good idea for newbies and probably rob :evilgrin: we dont need more people getting hurt so its another black eye that people can use against our sport but remember that theres no replacement for a big old log chain with some nice hooks on the ends for population control :D

Muddy Buddys had one last year I think it was, I took my daughter. It was a good class and now it is her job to winch the Polaris out when I get it stuck.:D

The class isn't just about how to press buttons and flip a lever on your winch, its about how to understand the limits of your winch, when and how to properly use a snatch block, where to hook your winch to, how to properly roll another vehicle over using your winch, and stuff like that.

This was a topic at our meeting, and I said I would ask. They do still have spots open to attend. If interested send an email to reserve a spot to adam (at) 4mudders(dot) com
