I really enjoy Smarter Every Day, and he uses his 2.4l Wrangler in quite a few videos as well!
I like that channel a lot. My fav video was the backwards bicycle one that he did. I also like the "Technology Connections" channel equally.
That was a great video as well, really hurt my head to watch it!
Okay, I feel like I need to carry a book on recovery techniques with me when I go wheeling. There's some stuff in here I didn't know about, but I feel like it could be very helpful to have on hand when wheeling.

Thanks for posting this. Trying to figure out what I need for a recovery bag, so this is timely. The whole snatch block idea just makes my brain hurt. Double your pulling strength, I get. That also doubles the force at the block. If I understand it right, it cuts the force in half at the other two anchor points. Is that correct? I thought I remember Mr. Blain posting something about this but I have not been able to find it.
I'm getting a snatch block for my rig and whenever I pulled out it I'm going to say "SNATCH BLOCK" instantly. I just rewatched that video and forgot just how great it was!
Also me now . . . why have a 12,000lb winch when I could have a 4,500lb winch with 4 snatch blocks . . . .

Snatch block and rope length.....are we still talking about Jeep stuff?Who cares! SNATCH BLOCK!
But in all seriousness yeah I know!
Oof, no doubt! I am a winch/recovery newbie, and am hoping to hook up with a club or someone experienced to go over things. I have total respect for anything that can do serious damage to people and property.
There's a video on youtube of a guy pulling his TJ backwards using a front mounted winch. I watched it and still can't make sense to myself how it works.
Edit, here it is:
