I have been using chains after seeing that pic.[/QUOTE]
Chains? *Maybe* for towing people, not freeing mired rigs from mudholes. A chain does not serve the same purpose as a recovery stap. No stretch, no storing of energy and no shock moderation. Even a gentle yank with a chain will snap the chain or rip the attachment point off the rig. I won't even use one to tow beyond moving a rig around in the driveway.
Chains are great for rigging winch cables to boulder for an anchor, or for attaching a cable or stap to a rig with no recovery points. Other than that they have no place in vehicle recoveries.
