I carry gear to help others out of a jamb
Maybe some day i will need assistance

I also carry gasoline with me & my Ram is a diesel

I guess we'd better start using the word "pulley" instead of "$natch"... lol

Love my 55 Ultra (on my Land Cruiser) but haven't upgraded the PW yet.
As I'm in the Mid-Atlantic, I carry two tree savers, two straps, two kinetic ropes, a winch rope extension and 4 hard and 4 soft shackles. I have a HighLift Jack with all the accessories in the Land Cruiser. I'll put a 60" on the PW when I find the proper mount for the RamBoxes and my Topper. I have an axe, machete, saw, and two shovels (spade and flat nose) in each. I also carry bugout gear (Rain Suit, coat, hat, gloves, change of clothes, boots, knives, tomahawk, Bivy Sack, sleeping bags (2) weapons (pistol and long gun), but that's a whole other posting.

Never tie your straps together. I carry two dog bones. One homemade of oak and one commercial aluminium. I've even used a rolled up Sunday newspaper in a jam.

... and tools! I carry a full socket set with an impact driver and drill with manual torque wrenches and breaker bars as backup.
I keep a charger in the rambox with spare batteries and in the LC I have an inverter that powers the charger. Each vehilce also has a bag of assorted drivers, bits (allen, square, torx) pliers, and cutters.
Finally, each vehicle has a full blown first aid kit complete with two tournequets.

I saw him at the gas station yesterday. You'd be shocked at just how small the Morvair is in person.

Kinetic ropes or straps are cool
I pulled my brothers Ram 2500 diesel out of the ditch and I was on ice with my TJ
I was sliding back as he came out so he went out and bought a strap same as the one I used

 

[Xyleff]

What size kinetic rope and soft shackles would be best to have?

 

[Trailmaker]

I like to at least match the winch like the link I posted but typically I keep most of my gear at ~20,000 lbs. As ropes wear they lose strength plus it seems like I am always recovering everyone else besides me, since it’s hard for me to get my Wagon stuck.

I always have my recovery gear all of it is way over rated but that is because I get condemned lifting slings from work they are good for tow straps but not hoisting

[Xyleff]

A 7/8" x 30' is a pretty good size to have. Another high quality is the "Bubba" rope, and soft shackles.
