If you carry a snatch block and winch line repair kit you should be able to pull yourself up a tree if the branch will hold you. As for a long cable I would opt for shorter rather than longer and carry an extension. Your winch has more leverage the closer the windings are to the drum.

That's what I was reading. I was looking at the 17,500 lb recon which has 14k lb pull with all 96ft of steel cable wound up. Lol. To big for the bumper I ordered though. The 10500 has 8k or so lbs with all 80 some feet wound up.

I'll end up with the 10500 with maybe 30 ft of rope?

The recon comes with about 90' of blue rope. You can but extra line at www.masterpull.com

Ideally, you'd keep little line on the winch and have a nice long extension. Once I replace my line, I will be going this route.

Next time to do a Google search, it'll pull up FRF threads super quick with more keywords.
