I used one that is similar to the Macscustom. It's doubled over on the loops and has about 12 inches of sewing for strength. I've had it a while and can't remember how much I paid but it was probably close to Macs.

I could of used a 17' Super Duty yesterday, when I was pulling out a stuck taco. Had a F-350, and a f-150 trying to pull him out, but all we did was slide. Ended up getting a maintainer to pull him out after a few hours.

Great story and experience Epic, I enjoyed reading it. So often today folks avoid lending a helping hand and that's sad really. It's been years now but back before our narrow, curvy country highway was widened and straightened I used to carry a tow strap with me to work every morning on snow days.

We get a lot of folks moving up here without snow driving experience and a single spin out on the old highway back then would block the road. It was fun lending a hand pulling them out but I did this partly so I could just get to work.

I am sure my current tow strap can not withstand the 6.7's power so I'll put that on my pre-6.7 to be purchased list.

I am glad to report our drought here is also over, in a big way. Lot's of damage throughout our region but most all are delighted to have the reservoirs full and a fantastic snow pack waiting up the hill.

Jacque (wife) and I drove up to Donner Summit last Friday to do some storm repairs and knowing some on this site enjoy drone video I thought I'd post this footage I shot that day. I edited it down yesterday. We are currently at just under 200% of normal snow pack for this point of the season.

That is amazing drone footage. Unbelievable how much snow and water has come in a single year. 5 years of drought done in a couple of months.
