Each motorist is known that in the trunk there should always be things like a first-aid kit, an emergency stop sign and, of course, a reliable towing cable. The road is unpredictable, everything can happen on the way. The car stopped in the middle of the road or bogged into the mud? It is in such such situations that the towing cable will come to revenue.

Choosing a towing cable, pay attention to those models that are equipped with a special carbine or a solid hook-hook (they are designed to reliably fasten your car to the tug machine). Better, if the hooks are with latches-locks - they will help to avoid random hook slipping during towing.
2
Pay attention to the method of mounting the carbine / hook to the cable itself. The most reliable are the twisted cables made of high-strength ship rope - the hooks are tightly fixed due to the interfising of the "tailings" of the cable to each other. Choosing a ribbon cable, look at the place of crosslinking ribbon with a hook mount - they must be stitched several times not only from top to bottom, but also diagonally.

Capturing the carbine to the left eye of the tug machine and the right eye of the towed vehicle, after that the movement starts. The recommended hitch option will give the rear car driver to view the movement along the oncoming lane and control the road ahead of the towbyer. In this case, the towing cable will be located almost parallel to the axis of the car.

In the absence of a carbine or hook, the towing cable is tied to the car. There are several proven nodes. One of these - Bulin (it is also called an ariammory knot). To make a boulie node-loop, bend one of the ends of the cable and twisted the loop. After flexing the resulting loop to the cable and through it, another new loop is pulled out. Now they are focused on this loop the second end of the cable, stretch it until the loop is formation of the desired size and put it on the hook. Such a node is a reliable option for attaching a towing cable without a hook. At the end of the towing, the Bulin node will not make any difficulty.

Also one of the most common among drivers is a towing knot. To tie it correctly, one of the ends of the cable pounce on the towing hook of the car-towing woman from left to right in such a way that the loop came and the free right end stretched from the bottom on the left side of the tensioned cable. Then make a conventional loop on the left end of the cable, put it on the hook and pull the free end to the right from under the cable. Next, make a conventional loop from the right end of the cable and again throw it on the hook. Free end tie the knot.
The correctly tied towing cable is the key to the safe towing of your Iron Horse.
