logs and rope flip flop winch

So, your vehicle is stuck in the mud. You probably should have been more careful, but what good does regret do at this point?! And the only supplies you have are two logs and a bit of rope. You must be out of luck.

Wrong. You may have heard of the Flip Flop Winch, which is a remarkably innovative device that can assist with removing large items that are stuck in your path.

Not to mention it can be used to get stuck vehicles out of the mud. Mors Kochanski, who is considered the “God Father of Bushcraft”, helped popularize this amazing design.

There is also evidence of this device being used by the British Army in World War II to get vehicles out of the trenches!

You’ve got to learn how to make this. Take a look at some photos followed by a video after the break!
