New to winching, what line should i get?

[disco2hse]

one of those would be worth looking into.

This is a good looking piece of kit.

This is also a very good option. Lan-cor. Review here.

Hmm. Winches? Shackles? Ground anchors? Snatch blocks?

Perhaps Nantucket is a little more of a remote, rugged, inhospitable operating environment than everyone thinks when they picture Nantucket? Kinda sounds like a 4x4 off-road enthusiast's heaven.

Martha's Vineyard is probably the tame, laid-back place I'm thinking of...

You say this, but I am reminded of when Jeremy Clarkson drove the new LR3 (or LR4) or whatever. He got stuck and then tried to winch himself, only to realize he was in the middle of a wide open field with no anchors available.

Same setup here.

You'll figure out how useless a winch is, if you have nothing to attact it to. Its one of those "Better to learn from others" mistakes rather than learn first hand

Im on Nantucket, we have no law and i used to date the troopers daughter in high school.

I just had to laugh at that comment. Are you sure that's a plus for you and not a minus?

Yeah--I was just teasing. But it IS Nantucket, the quaint summer tourist cottage rental hotspot.

Possibly. I suggest we go check it out ourselves.

spare tire

If you have a winch I would hope you would have a shovel and you can always bury your spare as and anchor
