Santa brought an ARB Magnum hand winch and a tree trunk protector for Christmas - now only if I could figure out how to set it up. Have used tirfor-style hand winches before, but always around the farm on stumps, logs, tractors etc - never used a 4wd tree trunk protector before as I've never winched off a tree.

How does it go together? I though you would simply loop the tree trunk protector around the tree as a sling, and use a shackle to attach the two ends to the pin on the end of the winch, but it simply doesn't fit - and trying to stuff the two loops on the strap around the pin doesn't leave much room for the wire to thread through. Are you supposed to attach the hand winch to the vehicle instead, or am I doing something wrong? 4WD recovery course is on the menu, but not for a few months.
