what damage are you suggesting? i know of many situations on organized runs
where a single p/s hyraulic winch pulled the entire party up hills to steep
to climb with no damage. in fact, watching this first hand is what sold me
on hydraulic winching to begin with. i was riding my ATV on ft. bragg and
watched a hmmwv winch an entire convoy up a ravine.
