    Normally I am always in radio contact with base. But normally have jumper leads and snatch strap. If I am trying to get somewhere then the chainsaw is your best friend for trees over the road.

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

    2x 3.2t shackles
    1x Snatch Strap
    1x Tow Strap

    This is in the Patrol, and it's all we need around the farm. If I take it 4WDing (which I don't do often as it's our only working vehicle) I usually go with someone who has additional gear.

    When I replace my Fairmont in a few months (Prob with a D2) I will kit it up properly (slowly, I'm poor...)

    I had up untill 2 weeks ago my snatch strap and tree trunk protector jammed into 1 of the rear side pockets, then something gave me a crappy cheap zip up bag for my birthday that i was about to throw out but then decided it will make a good recovery gear bag -

    snatch strap
    tree trunk protector
    4 x shackles
    ARB tyre deflator -good birthday present, that person can come again.
    Ex Vietnam War Aussie fold up shovel
    Tomahawk or Axe.

    Plus extra's if going further away.
