Hey folks,
I'm new to trails and am buying this stuff for the first time. So far, I picked up:
- 60 inch hi-lift jack
- a Max (ax with shovel and rake attachment)
That is all.
I've got flares and first aid and fire extinguisher and stuff like that but nothing to unstuck the truck.
I've read about different straps and ropes (kinetic vs non) and chains but I'm on a budget (both items above are used) and can't go out and buy all of the available items especially since I'm not exactly sure how they are applied in a recovery situation.
I'm only looking at very basic trails that a stock 80 could do and when searching, it's hard to tell the difference between necessity and nice to have. I need a recovery 101.
What's in the necessity column in your opinion?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
