    Here with the above image, I would like to demonstrate the power of The Viking Kinetic Rope.
    The action is in the back with the cars, not in the foreground ;;) , and also the subject is not related to the brands, agreed “Peepers”? 😉

    How it happened?
    Car #1 got stuck at the top, just normal and typical situation at this kind of the dunes

    Car #2 came to help, and remained hanging on his own rope

    Car #3 came also to help, and didn’t move two cars above him for a single inch

    Car #4, removed its Energy Rope and connected it to car #2

    Simultaneously car #3 and #4 pulled and thanks to accumulated energy in Viking Kinetic Rope, car #1 and car #2 jumped out of their nests.

    How the Viking Kinetic Rope works?
    It’s made of nylon fibers, which stretch at pulling, similar to rubber. The Viking Kinetic Ropes stretch 30% at breaking point which makes them more effective than straps. The point of a Viking Rope or Snatch Strap is to provide stretch in a dynamic pull (opposite is true for winch lines in a static pull). The more stretch the more kinetic energy is built up to help move the vehicle, and the less impact on the vehicle itself. As the pulling car cannot move more, it hits the brakes and accumulated energy in the rope, pulls out smoothly the stuck car.

    Snatch Strap needs to be straight between connected vehicles, not twisted, at Viking Rope you don’t need to pay attention, just avoid knots.

    As Silvester pointed out the beauty of the whole thing is that the kinetic rope does it so gently…that it seems almost effortless.
    This is specially important in hard stucks when a hard tug with a conventional strap will be hard, jarring & perhaps damaging to both the cars and its occupants.
    We had a similar incident with Anil’s Land Cruiser when he pulled my Land Cruiser off a sharp ledge & damaged his gear mounts.
