Good winch exercise. One thing to consider. Synthetic winch line stores very little energy. When using a winch damper with synthetic line, it is generally accepted that putting it on the 'mass' is the better practice. This way it is directly acting on the high mass point ( the Flatlink in this case ). This way you don't have to wait for that mass to travel past the damper before it becomes effective if something was to fail in that rigging group. It is also a little handier because it won't reposition itself along the line during the winching. Bee Safe.

Hi, My understanding (after ruining two sets of deep cycle batteries) is that the vehicle alternator cuts off the charging when the vehicle battery is full, therefore not charging the house batteries fully. (There is a sign on the counter at batteries plus to that effect, which is why they wouldn't stand behind the warranty.) We put in a C-Tek charge controller and have had no trouble for the last 6 years. 😉

There’s no set expiration on a Jeep engine. Mine was just at 200k miles and it was a timing issue. The guidance I got was that, at the 200k mark, an engine replacement would be a more cost effective repair than replacing the timing chain. Fixing the timing chain would have bought a little more time, replacing the engine black bought a LOT more time.

@@carpathianoverland You are welcome. I used to be a professional photographer and I have never switched over to video, because I felt that it would overwhelm me. So believe me, I have much respect of people who are making video as I think making video looking good is really not that easy. It probably really takes time for everyone. I am not saying that all the channels that have lots of subscribers are doing good video, not at all. Still, in many instances I could see how KZfaqrs have been getting better over time. In your case, specifically I would recommend try to using the go-pro type super wide angle lens much less. Instead use a less wide angle and only if you are showing yourself. Then include more shots that are made with regular camera. Think through your shot prior and then pan the camera nicely, so it does not shake much. Honestly, when I decide to pick a new channel and I believe others may do this as well, I try to pick a channel that has good video. So in that sense it may be harder to stand out for ANY new KZfaqr, because in the old days, there was far less KZfaqrs, who just had to do something and then later improve their skills. Now it seems starting out, standing out is much harder, because there is already so much content and you need to “start out on the right foot” in order to get noticed. So like said before. I think if you do it long enough and figure out the little details, your channel will eventually take off. Best wishes!
