A good demo of how powerful winching with snatch blocks can be.

I would love to know how he got to 45:1! I don’t doubt it, it just seems like odd number!

3x3x5 I think I’ve got my awnser and it fits the video

I am having a look at the rope and chains and think to myself, "hmm. We have a lot of faith in them"

I read in the video comments that if it was 300:1 it wouldn’t even need a winch. Dunno how true that is.

In rope rescue, we take it that 1 man haul is 20kg, so 6 tons.
It would also take a long time. 300:1 means for every 300m of rope that you pull in you move the load 1m

Or do what Manny does. His approach is to block snatch.
