Offroad Recovery Gear - Testing Factor 55's LDP to shorten winch line??

Recently I was invited along to a day of testing some winch line shortening methods. You all know I own an X-lock and have done a few videos on this awesome device already, but hearing that another piece of gear could be used to do the same thing peaked my interest! I spent half the day with a few folks, including Matt Balazs from On Trail Training (an I4WDTA trainer I've taken multiple classes from), going over a few ways to shorten winch line, and test the piece of equipment Factor 55 recently promoted on their Facebook page as having another use than it's original inception.   / 3887884224576055   We got some interesting results with the LDP method (as well as the others we tried), and I wanted to showcase this in a multi-segment video. This first segment will be the LDP. Future segments will show the x-lock again, and some use of a screw pin bow shackle. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Happy New Year!
