gloves soft leather
small 18" 10K b.s. strap with 2 eyes for wrapping around soccer moms axle or? on non recovery point vehicles when stuck in snowbank graders windrow or?
small (very small) folding + telescoping gerber brand shovel just big enough to clear the tires of whatever I/they are stuck into.
all that fits in a 14"x 14" x4" bag that I use for a dampner when snatching.
onto.....
"THE BIGGER but still somewhat small BAG" of goodies grabbed when going wheel'n or outta town fishing/adventure trips
2..... 3"x 6' pro comp tree straps (bridle(s) or anchors for helping out someone winching or narrow steep wyndy trail towing straps.
1..... 3"x 30' 30K lb. m.b.s. rated snatch strap

2 adapters 1/4"to 3/8 & 1/2" to 3/8"
2 3/8" extensions & 1 swivel
10" long crescent spud wrench
screwdriver multi flex head with 36 bits
tire gauge in case air down is needed.
mechanix gloves
fiskars 17.5" splitting axe model X11
fiskars small forged pruners good for brush small limbs rope
gerber collapsable 10" bow saw in soft case
Pico brand Cold Weather 20' 1 AWG booster/jumper cables good to -50 degree temps (best quality cables you could find anywhere highly recommended)
few pairs of disposable rubber gloves
Gerber folding entrenching shovel (military grade)with case
shake flashlight + small mighty light clipped to outside of bag for searching in the bag in the dark.
3/8" x 50' reflective silver/black rope WLL 250Lb

plan for the worst pray for the best!
Have been involved in several hard off road vehicle recoveries as well as on the job equipment and heavy equipment rigging experience. I plan on setting up my 48" high lift for emergency self recoveries winching ect. have used them for various things in the past as well as chain and cable come-alongs (hate with a passion cable ones but the chain style are ok)
thinking total of **66ft of grade 100 crosby 3/8" chain divided into 2x30' and 1x6'
4-5 chain couplers
2 cradle grab hooks
2 regular grab hooks
1 sling hook
2-3 small shackles
48"x72" rubber mat for work area **
so far in between asteric items are just over 100lbs and around $500
my personal opinion is if used for winching using all chain is the best option
to get max speed distance with little to no stretch which would be certainly a PITA from winch extensions ??
trying to figure the easiest/fastest/safest way to winch with high lift jack and the items needed (I know some say buy a real winch) I want for sure mechanical get out:victory:.... not oops killed battery or alternator or winch trying.
Who else thinks $700 bucks for a outfitted highlift totalling 150lbs is cheap insurance for and almost certain way to keep the towtruck/wrecker from showing up.
and loose a few pounds doing it. LOL
