The UPS man brought me a Self Release Snatch Block yesterday. I never had one before but I use regular snatch blocks all the time while running my winch. Mostly to avoid snags, avoid damaging good trees, and getting around stuff and corners in general while getting a log to the tractor. If you never have seen one work before I made this little video on my first pull with the new releasing snatch block. I am thinning a softwood stand. Its a small log but you can see how it works. Saves having to walk down the bank and unhitch everything when the log gets to the block then walking back up and finish the pull.
