Judicious use of a snatch block can keep operator out of the line of fire.actually an idea I'm also exploring. I will never be on a trail where I have to winch myself up for a long distance, it'll be most likely getting unstuck from something or getting over something, a couple feet of movement. For that rare occasion, a hand winch might just be all I need.
Just not sure about the safety rule to stay away from the winch line, if you have to be there hand winching it. Good safety blankets I guess might be enough.
More things to think about.
I'd just rather not have a winch permanently mounted for daily driving, if I lived close to trails that would be different.
