I’m not the Bunnery Sergeant, but I know he’s talking about the murder spork(™) https://krazybeavertools.com/collections/frontpage/murder-spork

ETA: yes, they do have race red and several other colors. Sorry @Nex, no primer gray murder spork for you. They do, however, sell the murder spork, terrible shovel edition: https://krazybeavertools.com/collections/frontpage/products/light-yellow-black-handle

I found them at Costco of all places!?
It’s a seasonal item so not sure if they still have them.
Someone else bought them when I posted them a while back, I think they were able to get red?

I'll reply to my own question here and flag that in the video breaking down the AZ recovery (reposted below) the guy says NOT to connect the rope directly to the hitch pin, for the reason I stated above (potential to bend/break the hitch pin given it's no longer true sheer pressure). I trust that opinion, so it seems like a properly rated hitch & shackle is the way to go.

My opinion is the Hitch pin will work if that’s all you have for you strap if you can get it stuffed into the receiver. Again I would Not try a Snatch with a KE Rope, set up with the hitch pin only, as my weakest link in the system. So many variables to consider, are they STUCK or just hung up?
Bottom line is YOU have to live with whatever System YOU choose to set up. Someone else or I can give suggestions, but it’s Ultimately YOUR choice.
I’m not above walking away from a CHARLIE FOXTROT… Sorry Boys , I’m OUT, y’all are going to get someone hurt or fuxk up someone’s vehicle:)

A lot of good information in this thread. Hopefully it starts a few conversations and engages your brain housing group.

Bottom line, if you don't know what you are doing, then stop. Ask questions. Get out and look. If you have to stay stuck in the mud overnight, so be it. Everyone goes home.
