Winch Familiarization

In our preparation for The Trans-Eurasian Odyssey, every system on The Turtle V must be tested and retested. While not a serious winching job, moving a huge boulder in front of the new garage driveway was a perfect opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the Warn 16.5ti Winch, (www.warn.com), mounted in the new Buckstop Bumper, (www.buckstop.biz), and the Viking Dyneema® synthetic winchline, (www.vikingoffroad.com). Drawing on two Group 34 Odyssey Extreme Batteries, (www.odysseybattery.com), we didn’t even bother to start the engine for this short pull.
