snowbunjie?

[scrfce]

Was a massive sceptic till today. Blew a coolant hose and needed to be towed down a seriously whooped out trail,,, normally itd be hell, but with the SB it was no lie a breeze with no jarring and jerking, just smooth sailing all the way down

Heres one that I made several years back. It fold up nicely into my backpack so I don't have to keep it on the sled. It is about 30' of bungee folded and braided. Works awesome!

To make your own, how thick should it be? I've got some 1/2" cord. Should I make it 4 thickness thick or 6 for a sled to sled bungee? I'm thinking 4 would be thick enough; 6 will really be bulky.

I had to pull a sled with mine just after I made it. It held up fine and didn't do any damage to it. As long as your braid is tight and the ends are tied off good I think 4 is ok. Where the biener hooks in, I did a return braid. That way it will only pull on itself and tighten up when there is any force.

Thanks 4 it is.

I have a snobunje I will sell if anybody is looking for one, it has been collecting dust long enough.

I carry a jack and usually can get myself out of a stuck before help arrives to pull. But also carry one of his bungees that fits in your coat pockets.

I carry a Rattle in my tunnel bag I bought it off ebay shipped for $25 and have really never used it yet but it there if we need it.

Love the bunje. Have never seen one used like Dan Adams did. Worked awesome. Sled stuck up hill bunje hooked to a-arm, pulling sled going down hill almost 180 degrees to stuck sled. Pin and wiggle stuck sled, pin pulling sled. Stuck sled whips around 180 and launches though the air, grab brake for all your worth. Land 2" behind pulling sled. Are you guys that make you own putting a sleeve around the bunges? That helps protect you if it snaps off. You get hit anywhere with that hook or carabiner going Mach 4 and you will regret it.

Mine stays attached to the bumper using the nylon strap, like others have said drive by the stuck sled throw it on a spindle, a-arm or ski loop and pin it, just be sure the stuck rider knows to keep a finger on the brake. I have used mine at least 50 times, saves a lot of digging. Make sure you get some of the other riders in your group to get one so that your not the designated "tow truck". We hardly ever use the hand held ones anymore, and as far as homemade versions the two I have seen used both broke, just get the original well worth the money.

I have thought about incasing it, but just make sure we all wear our helmets and goggles just in case.

They work awesome and my boy likes them too for his trucks!

 

[rmk2013]

yes

If you don't have one you are missing out. I wwrap mine around the riser. Out of the way and ready to use. We are not all like Chris Burandt but ride in the same areas so we use them.

I use the rattler most times as well as use another strap in line with the rattler in situations where I can pull another sled out have not broke the handle yet. I have gave the handle plenty of stress with the pull sled.

I'm not as big of a fan of the sled to sled bunje just because it seemed like the pulling sled ended up digging in more than it got the stuck sled out. THe conditions have to be pretty perfect for the sled to sled bunje to work.

Don't believe this hype......it is all in the set up and follow through from BOTH riders.

1. Never pull up hill
2. Always a-arm to bumper, ski loops break
3. Use a favorable angle for extraction, the one with the least resistance.
4. I count to 3 when pulling, take off, and have the person being pulled blip the throttle on 4, just as the bunje stretches and builds force. You will see me counting in the linked video below.
5. Don't bury it when pulling, let off the throttle on 4 as well.
6. I coil mine around the back bumper. http://www.snowestonline.com/forum/images/attach/jpg.gif

The snobunje is a must have for off trail riding. This product has been developed and tested by snowmobilers for years. Pony up and get the real thing, those home-made ones look scary to me.

Here is a sample video showing the magic of the Snobunje.
