What recovery gear do you carry?

pto winch

4 x shackles
2 x 1t slings

Ooops forgot the saw

Snatch strap
10,000 lb Warn
Air compressor with all the extras
Hi-lift jack (fits holes front and rear of vehicle)
Disco hydraulic jack
Tree protector
60m Kevlar rope - can't remember the rating but never been able to break it
Stihl chainsaw 15 inch bar (sorry to the GREENER members)
Snatch block (depends on where we go)
2 off 6x3 wood blocks
long handle shovel
8528 Codan HF Radio (auto tune aerial + long line) VJN49

We use most stuff on trips - get bogged heaps launching the boat in unusual places - normally on our own. Erich

Very handy, especially if you can tie a cob & co with it.

I'll try and find a diagram.

A strop is probablly the corect name. With lifting and rescue slings or straps quite often you see them listed technically as strops. I would belive its a regional difference.
However in this case I would think its just a typo.

We shal see, maybe he has a Delvene as well as a Strop and a Hoges.
Anyone got a Winnie Blue?

None of the above - I drive offroad every time I drive, and what I carry depends on where I am going and the conditions, so there is no simple answer, although the 2a always has a drag chain and shackles (usually used for dragging posts, straining fences etc) and frequently a chainsaw and shovel, although these are not primarily for recovery purposes.

The 110 carries a tow rope, mainly for pulling trees off the road, and after strong winds a, a bushman saw.

If I have to travel in boggy conditions I will usually carry a towing strop, rope, hand winch, and a shovel, occasionally one or two high lift jacks, depending on my assessment of conditions.
