Thread: Advice on recovery equipment

Hi,
don't forget to take half a dozen 2x3" planks, cut to about 50cm long, should fit flat some where in your vehicle. Cheap as chips and very useful.
Good for jacking, packing, holding etc - never get under a vehicle with only a jack holding it up.
Can also be used as emergency kindling or even fire wood.
cheers

Hi Lift jack point out unless you got bull bar front and rear step bar tow bar on modern vehicle you going to find it hard to find a suitable spot to use it without damaging your vehicle panels.

If you need to lift a modern vehicle you are better off with an exhaust bag

No of times you truly get stuck in moderate situations doesn't justify a electric winch, for safety sake a hand winch with a block and sand anchor is fine don't foreget regardless of winch your tree protector strap.

A couple of snatch straps for recovery by another vehicle joined together if in soft sand etc worthwhile investment and in emergency extends line of the winch

A long handle shovel axe high speed air compressor good to have in your recovery tools as well
