Field notes
Users can enter a loaded vehicle mass, winch capacity, and line breaking strength, then choose terrain conditions and aggravating factors such as blocked wheels or a ravine. Rigging choices distinguish a single line from one or two pulley arrangements, with stated force multipliers. The page says saved vehicle details and calculations stay on the device, while emphasizing that the estimate cannot verify anchors or replace an operator’s assessment.
