Thread: What recovery gear do you carry?

2 x Snatch Straps 9000kg (sometimes 3).
2 X 4.75 Tonne Shackles.
2 x 7.5 tonne shackles.
1 x Tow Hitch Recovery Point.
1pr Max Trax.
1 x ARB Hand Winch and 20m cable.
1 x Extension Strap
1 x Tree Trunk protector.
1 x Exhaust Jack.
1 x Bottle Jack.
1 x Blue Tongue Compressor.
1 x Set Staun Tyre Deflaters.
4pr Riggers Gloves
Long Handled Shovel sometimes.
1 x 30m length static kernmantle rope (3000kg).
2 or 3 cheap 1.5m x 3m tarps.
Most of this lives in the drawers permanently.

MaxTrax
Other standard stuff, shovel, snatch, etc.

Trouble is, haven't had the courage to get totally bogged yet. Have managed to keep going so far, so cannot tell you how good the MaxTrax are.

The max trax are great in the sand. have not tested them in mud yet. You do have to make sure they are right under or held in by something cause they can get spat out.

Snatch Strap
Drag Chain
Hand Winch
Wire rope
Hi-Lift
2x4.75T bow shackles
3x3.25T bow shackles
Other assorted chain
shovel
axe
pick
gloves
chainsaw (usually)

Being my first 4x4 in a few years i'm slowly building up my recovery gear and only have the basics for now ....... must rob a bank one of these days .

Snatch Strap

2 x rated Shackes

set of Leather Gloves

Shovel

Proper Recovery points

and that's all I've ever needed.

As a minimum, I carry the following:

1x Strop
1x Snatch block
2x Shackles
1x Chain
1x Shovel
1x Hi-Lift

With that, you can do most things.

Depending on what I'm heading into, I'll supplement with the following:

1x 10m strop
1x Bridle (1.5m rope)
1x 5m rope
1x 10m rope
2x Snatch blocks
1x Chain
Extra shackles.

However, at work, all we carry are 3x ropes and a shovel.
