Can we Tow a Loader with a Shoe Lace? Survival gear review

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Position two heavy-duty pickup trucks facing each other with their rear ends close enough to connect the hitches. Ensure the truck to be towed is placed in neutral gear and its brakes are disengaged. Securely tie one end of the Ironlace shoelace to the trailer hitch ball of the towing truck and the other end to the trailer hitch ball of the truck in neutral. Slowly have the towing truck accelerate, attempting to pull the stationary truck, ideally on a slight uphill incline to increase resistance. Observe the shoelace's integrity and whether it successfully tows the truck without breaking or stretching.

Goal: Test the shoelace's tensile strength by towing a pickup truck uphill.

Tools and materials

  • Ironlace Shoelace Ironlace — The connection between the two trucks
  • Pickup Truck — The vehicle to be pulled
  • Trailer Hitch Balls — Attachment points for the shoelace on both trucks
