Winching
One of the Land Rover magazines did a series of teaching articles on this a few years back.If u can access these they would be useful anyway.
Some golden rules:
Make sure your jate points are up to it(fit them back and front).
Make sure others attachment points are up to it(seen lots of scrap left behind  )
Only use RATED shackles.
Use tag lines attached to the car/cable to partly stop throw of cable in case of failure.
Use blanket etc over mid cable
Wear gloves.
Do not allow anyone to sit in cars(in line of flying cable)whilst winching.
Stand well away.
All hairy stuff coz u won't do it often and therefore each time will be a first so to speak!
