So THATS why your handle is Hosejockey! LOL. I was a fire truck mechanic for 10 years in the Air Force. We only had steel everything for winches back then and I had to replace kinked winch lines A LOT

Our wildland team had never had any type of winch training so I thought what a great opportunity. Then they pull this recovery bag out of our type 3 engine and I'm like what?! That engine behind me weighs about 38,000 pounds. It was a great class though and everyone had fun moving things around the drill ground.

That's really cool. I miss those days.
