I laid the cable out and attached it to the drum. The other end I attached to a Suburban. I pulled the Suburban up a slight grade to tension the cable. The cable laid quite well and has never been an issue. I keep the cable under slight tension with a couple of wraps of a braided rope through the eye on the cable and over a tow hook. I use the winch to apply the tension. I only have a eye on the cable which allows me to switch between a chain or strap as needed.
