Book to buy

taikowaza · 05-12-2009, 07:27 AM

I read some reviews about Jim Allen's book "Four Wheeler's Bible" and I was wondering if this was still the book that you guys would recommend. I'd like something (of course ideally TOY focused) that really talks about fundamentals, picking lines, and especially works on winch technique. Any advice appreciated!

Wait is there an event or what? Why do you have the RSVP box?

As for the book i would just get out and wheel. You can read as much as you want but getting out and doing it is gonna be the best way to learn

sorry algranger, thought this was a normal thread not an RSVP event! Maybe I should move the question...
I agree nothing like experience for learning. Still, a good book can sometimes be a good idea, especially for winch technique, I'd rather be studied up than try rigging my snatch block wrong and end up ripping off some limbs. I'm pretty attached to them at this point

ha! get it? Attached to...sorry...bad joke!

Heheh nice.

Ok I was just a little confused.

Yeah i see how the book could be beneficial.. I dont know of any good ones. I still think you should get out with someone who knows what their doing and get some hands on experience

OP, go with algranger. He gets stuck all the time and has a winch. You'll get lots of training!

j/k! Seriously though, Mr Seattle, there's lots of us around here you can hook up with(no pun intended) and go play!
