Those of us who actually use a winch would never use a snatch block except for some recovery operations. His 12K lb Ramsey is a gear reduction winch that is rated a 4 fpm. Using a double block would make that 1 fpm... the guy would spend 1/2 hour just winching the thing. The secret is what I pointed ut to him, one or two good deep cycle automotive/truck batteries with the proper cables and good connections. BTW, your example about line load is correct but meaningless. Allowable winch load is determined by the number of turns on the cable spool; his 12k lb winch at 1 turn is really only a 7.5k lb winch at 4 turns... loading a trailer is usually done with a short line hence 3 or 4 turns hence a derated line load.
