Can't laugh at that!Ok so don't laugh,
but I have a front mount winch and when I head off road I pull the cable out throw it under the truck and hook it to the rear bumper then pull up the slack and head out. If i need to pull backwards I free spool the winch and pull the cable backwards and winch, If I need to pull forward I unhook the cable from the rear and use the winch to pull it forward to the front and winch forward. An old timer taught me this trick pulling the cable back under the truck before it gets stuck is in his words working smarter not harder.
Have done this for years, and it works just my 2 cents worth.
There's literally endless scenarios where different things work and don't work
For me the odds of being able to get under the Humvee or pull the line under after I get stuck in mud or high centered or something that pinches the line up against the vehicle would be my luck!
And just throwing the The extra winch I had back there definitely couldn't hurt and it was cheap relatively. And easy!
