Not a bad idea. I'd still probably throw a cheap Harbor freight packing blanket over it for good measure and better line visibility.

Agreed. I use moving blankets every time I winch. I fold it in half so it's a little thicker and the full weight of the blanket is on the line but it's still enough for decent coverage

Can always use the floor mat from the rear seat if accessible as well.

I did. Did he use the floor mat from the rear?

I'm also a little surprised that his winch line is constantly jumping around. Isn't the idea to keep tension on it?

He didn't tension it completely to show what happens when the winch line gets slack and then re tensions the rear floor mats on my jku are 2 small little mats would be less effective than the fronts he demonstrated

Ah. Mine is one solid piece, similar to this.

I don't use one and I know I probably should. With that being said, I've never seen a line break in person but I still make sure everyone is clear when I winch. The ankle weights are a good idea.

I went out and spent money on the ARB winch blanket. I usually keep two rocks in the back of the Jeep to put in the pockets to weight it down. I know I could have simply used an old sweatshirt, but this looks cooler. :blush:

I do the same. Get everybody at least back past another vehicle while I winch from inside my Jeep and sit low. Still using a moving blanket over the line as well. The blankets come in handy in so many situations too: line dampeners, work blanket so you don't have to lay in the dirt or lose stuff, cover for gear in the back of the Jeep so people can't look through the windows as everything, also when you need to stuff something between objects.
