RE: CAPSTANS WINCH
I was out in Colorado a couple of week ago and camped with a group of guys that had what I thought to be the “Best Invention” out there.
They contacted the local phone company and asked when they were going to do a long phone line pull. After the phone company was done with the pull, a guy in camp asked if he could have the 2,500 pound test nylon strap they use to pull the phone cable through the ground with. Since the phone company only uses the nylon strap once (for fear of breaking it on subsequent pulls) they said sure.
The guys in camp now have a ¾ mile length of 2,500 pound test nylon strap to use to pull their elk out with.
