Where are Yankum Ropes Made? I investigate the "factory" to find out...

Everybody on the internet loves yelling “MADE IN USA!” these days… usually right before the fine print says the zipper, bolts, major components, and pretty much everything else all came from overseas. There’s a BIG difference between assembled in the USA, and actually MADE in America. So naturally, I had to drag myself down to the Yankum Ropes factory to find out if their kinetic recovery ropes, soft shackles, and winch lines are ACTUALLY made in America… or if “Made in USA” just means they slapped a flag sticker on a shipping container from overseas. Turns out, these maniacs are over here actually building recovery gear in the USA like it’s still 1987. Real American-made kinetic ropes. Real American-made winch line. Real recovery gear designed for people who spend their weekends getting trucks hopelessly stuck in mud holes they definitely should’ve avoided in the first place. So in this video, we tour the Yankum Ropes factory, see how their legendary kinetic recovery ropes and synthetic winch lines are made, and try to figure out whether this whole “Made in USA” thing is real… or just another marketing buzzword invented by a guy in skinny jeans drinking imported sparkling water. We also get into: • How Yankum kinetic ropes are built • Why American-made recovery gear costs more • The difference between cheap recovery ropes and high-quality kinetic rope recovery gear • How synthetic winch line is manufactured • Why some recovery gear fails spectacularly • And probably a few sarcastic comments that’ll upset somebody in the comments section If you’ve ever wondered whether Yankum Ropes are worth the money, how kinetic recovery ropes are made, or why American-made off-road recovery gear matters, this video should answer all your questions… while simultaneously creating several new arguments online. Thanks for watching, and thanks to Yankum Ropes for letting me wander around their factory pointing cameras at stuff while pretending I’m some kind of investigative journalist instead of a guy who regularly buries trucks to the frame rails for entertainment. #YankumRopes #MadeInUSA #KineticRope #WinchLine #RecoveryGear #OffRoadRecovery #SyntheticWinchLine #AmericanMade #TowTruck #Overlanding #OffRoad #CaseyLaDelle --------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the companies that support us!
