Some real beginner questions:

1. What's the best way to put the synthetic rope under load when putting it on the drum? <span class="ev_code_RED">I find a slight hill (we don't have big ones) put my parking brake on about halfway and spool it up</span>

2. How do you get the rope to go onto the drum evenly without getting your hands near the drum and risk losing fingers. <span class="ev_code_RED">I use my leg to "guide" it back and forth. It will spool next to the previous layer fairly easily with little guidance. I just stand in front and lean into the line.</span>

3. What weight synthetic rope should someone buy to replace the wire on an H2? The ropes come in several weights. I have a Warn 9500 lb winch. <span class="ev_code_RED">I think I got the MP-LCP038100-SH from here: http://www.trailduty.com/products/mp/lcpline.html</span>

Thanks,
