The video is correct. However, the 1st strap is a bridle (similar to a tree saver) and is not designed to stretch. I still do not recommend that method because 95% of off roaders do not have these types of specialty straps and will use "snatch" straps thinking that's what it is.
If you have a bridle, then you're fine for method 2. I hope you understand why I didn't recommend it.
1. straps are nice in that they have some give and don't give as much whiplash. (talking about your average AAP strap with hooks on both ends).
NEVER use straps with hooks! They should be banned!
2. however, they snap almost every time you get slack and then have to "catch" the towing vehicle as the line goes taut.
Real snatch straps are designed to stretch and recover the towed vehicle with recoil. There are also some nice ropes out there too, that really stretch, literally yanking the vehicle out!
If your strap snaps every time, stop buying Walmart straps and get a quality unit from Warn or Pro Comp. It will be the best money you ever spent.
3. otoh, steel cables last and last, but don't have a safety factor of snapping before something important on the car. Good to use only after you've used straps for a while.
While some people may use chains or cables, I cannot recommend these for safe recovery. There is no give, place stress on vehicles and mounting points, can be terrible projectiles, and need to be very heavy gauge when compared to a 30,000 lb strap.
