giant metal stake with a big hammer wench to the stake, pull yourself out
Comment from : C O

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned, but the heavier/stronger shackle is for vehicles that are towing You’re not just recovering the vehicle, but the GCM 😊

A tomahawk/ axe/ bush saw /chainsaw for fallen timber (at least one of)

Great video Ronny! Also choose reliable brand of recovery gears, like Miolle recovery gears there kinetic rope is awesome! Quality rope Was able to use the elasticity of it to safely and successfully rescue a 1-ton pickup that was high centered in deep snow Provided D-Rings make attachment easy and secure Also stores easy in the provided bag

An air compressor for re-filling the tires
Comment from : j Davis

Mr Dahl: It would very wise to strongly emphasize the critical need for at least two fire extinguishers, a high capacity tire inflator, and ever so importantly, very comprehensive First Aid kits with sutures, hemostats, etc and keep it up to date

A set of come alongs
Comment from : jo

The budget shouldn't be a factor if you wanna do some serious off-road excursions If you can't afford the necessary gear, you should find another hobby
Comment from : Marcus Harley

Bridle splits the load Doesn’t half it It’s a little more than half, depending on the angle A double line pull from a snatch block is exactly half the load though
Comment from : Nimbus

Airbag ??
Comment from : Carl Redmond

Hi Ronny, if you have a scissor jack in the vehicle do you still see a need for having a bottle jack? We don't go serious off-roading, just touring Great content BTW!
Comment from : Wayne Pallot

The only other thing I can think of is a come-a-long, if you are by yourself I carry winter gear if it’s frozen ground Extra fuel for winter, first aid kit, and a phone or radio, and a GPS locator to call for help Extra food & water, if you are going to desolate locations Recovery equipment only works with a functional vehicle, don’t forget your brain, too much guts will get you killed Personally, I travel armed, depending on the wild life I might encounter, will influence my choices I would feel safer with someone with your experience, when traveling remote areas Great 👍🏻 video, subscribed, now👍🏻

Terrific advice, just one problembrI can here looking for advice on which brand “recovery kits” to buy for my lad and selfbrNow at least I know what needs to be included but still no wiser which brand & model kit to actually buy?brARB?brMaxTrak?brBush ranger?brKings?brBCF?brGeorge4x4brVRSbrEtcbrbrAlso you left out an axe and an Epirb / Sat Phone
Comment from : Ian Moone

Communication a radio or satellite phone just in case you’re really screwed and you’re on your own you might be able to call for help!
Comment from : Russell Wood

Great stuff, Ronny! Now I just need to decide on a jack Either the bottle or the ARB
Comment from : littledetails

I really like your channel It's no BS, and you just don't throw money at everything like a lot of the other channels The shovel in my book is one of the most important tools to have, hell if you have enough time and the energy, you can dig yourself out of most bad situations Cheers from Canada
Comment from : Pete Miller

Hey Ronny Shouldn’t a tire inflator be part of the kit at some point?
Comment from : Michael Braun

Every one should carry their own snatch strap and when you are bogged you use your own one
Comment from : Banana

Have a snatch I stead of whinch extension in the solo traveller kit? I know a extension strap can't replace a snatch but surely a snatch can replace a extension and do both?
Comment from : ( )( ) thanks

Winch anchor Tire chains
Comment from : Micah West

Everything you recommend is completely reasonable I’m a solo runner and the solo kit you recommend is perfect
Comment from : Billy Wild

Man These wealthy overland guys have forgotten all about carrying trailer ramps Heavier than max tracks, but cheaper by a huge factor Home depot by me has 2x 72-inch ramps for 90 bucks We cut them in half and you have all four of your recovery ramps Plus it's rigid enough to do all kinds of really stupid stuff with ( being your jack surface is the smartest one)
Comment from : Logan

Thank you Ronny for honest suggestions You have been a big influence on my kit Keep up the good work 👍🤘🇺🇸🇦🇺
Comment from : Rick Whitmire

Hey Ronny, I’ve got a 2011 RC Colorado Only one company makes front rated recovery points but they only suit the factory bullbar I’ve got an ARB Deluxe bar so front recovery points are not an option for me What do you recommend ?
Comment from : Joseph Micallef

could you put a list in the description/ list of all the recovery kit that you have just featured please

Thanks for all the good videos, just getting into 4wd and figuring out what I actually need for solo trips
Comment from : eab62

The smaller straps for solo to prevent tip?
Comment from : MrAvid Outdoorsman

If going with only your truck, 2 more very important things to have/do, leave a trip plan with someone, where when and when return within a reasonable amount of time common sense, when to not go on turn around and know what you and your truck are capable of great information tho!
Comment from : Michael McDowell

:Are the 4X4 recovery straps colour coded for different uses, great work
Comment from : Harry Bevan

Seen folk who had a winch but liked 9 inches if cable, and no line to make it reach,, nice video,
Comment from : Glen Baker

Thanks Ronny this is very helpul!
Comment from : LeStade

Nice video For wheeling in the forest Must haves for me include gloves, head lamp, come-along (hand winch), tree strap, shovel, axe, bridle, snatch strap Chainsaw plus axe if you have it :)
Comment from : John Davis

Thank you for the amazing information
Comment from : Lumens

Take your brain with you and maxtrax and a shovel should be good Dont do stupid stuff when you are by yourself Your brain is your pre recovery kit id reckon BUT we all want all that stuff anyway, HEHE
Comment from : Rick M

A high lift can be used as an emergency winch
Comment from : Salad King

Outstanding, Ronny I love your channel

This was really helpful as someone whos thinking of starting overland by myself
Comment from : Rodrigo Mancillas

what about a wheel winch
Comment from : 1chrisandangie

Nice one Ronny👍🏻brNever underestimate the trusty old Swiss Army knife and a roll of gaff a tape! oh and Chanel your inner Macgyver😜
Comment from : Tennessee Thompson

Speaking from the Northwest US, chainsaw, last three weekends going out and the DNR has other things to do, none of that will properly move a 15 inch log that fell in the snow Snow gone but good way to stop a weekend
Comment from : Hans Erik Harper

My maxtraxs were stolen straight off the top of my ute (along with my rhino brackets and awning) AND I had them locked on with a coded lock!
Comment from : Edward Copas

Another great video Ronny Not really a recovery item but l think a fire extinguisher is a nessesity particularly for remote travel
Comment from : Venture Offroad Australia 4x4

Take a shovel and a spade If you are more than one person in the car and one is for the majority of digging the other for cramped spaces And in a convoy something like a Burkbar
Comment from : Den Samme

Hi Ronny You mentioned you only need the snatch block when using a tree for recovery, can't you use it when using the dead man as well?
Comment from : James Merritt

Thanks Ronny
Comment from : Ben Shepherd

How about a couple of 2x4 blocks and straps?
Comment from : Blazejunkie

I'd like to say thanks for showing the Factor 55 splicing tool and the short straps I hadn't heard of those before Just ordered them both for my kit!!! Awesome video as always!!!

When are you going to review a Nissan NP300 Ronny?
Comment from : Mark Lawson

Correction to earlier comment: I hate predictive text!!!brI carry two BOG OUTs, not a 2TB hard drive If you're not familiar with them, there is a comprehensive web site you can viewbrWith BOG OUTS you can pull your vehicle forwards or backwardsbrNo, I am not associated with them, but I do believe they are worthwhilebrA winch maybe more convenient for a frontal recovery, but I regard the BOG OUTS as more reliable and failsafebrYes, other gear such as recovery boards, recovery points, kerr Rope, shovel and shackles are also on board
Comment from : Alyson Turner

Instead of a winch I carry two BOG 2tb portable hard drive, each with their 15 metre long ropes I also take 80 metres of boat anchor rope (2T breaking strain) for use as an extension strap and a couple of other ropes and shackles to provide a straight pull The

Ronnie can you talk about strap ratings for different vehicles? The MBS ratings in particular
Comment from : Jamie Carlyle

Comment from : david barber

Solid, sound advice without a bunch of whiz-bang gizmos and gadgets that are designed primarily to extricate cash from your pocket, not your vehicle from misfortune Thanks for spelling it out Ronny!
Comment from : Sean Lewis

Can you use dyneema rope and a hi lift jack for winching rather than chains for self recovery for those of us without electric winches?
Comment from : Coyotee Lanchbury

Only thing I would add for solo recovery would be a “come along” or hand winch I carry one in case I need to add tension to the rear of the vehicle while winching For instance if the rear is trying to slide down while winching you have an adjustable pull available
Comment from : Matt Hopkins

Basically fill your 4x4 with a ton of shit that has been marketed to you because you're a good consumer that got sucked into thinking that you needed anything beyond a quality hand winch
Comment from : Barry Bartlett

Really coulda used some Maxtrax yesterday up in the Uinta National Forrest We made due with winches and snatch straps
Comment from : Rocky Mtn Redneck

Well, over in the east snow chains have got me out of the serious shit
Comment from : Fast Farmer

Hey Ronny, where is your dad and the JL Wrangler? I haven't seen him in any of your latest videos and he used to be a "regular" on your trips along with Torbins dad if I'm not mistaken
Comment from : Alan Smith

I didn’t hear the exhaust jack, that you’ve mentioned before Seems like it might be a good solo sand recovery item
Comment from : Andrew

Comment from : BiBo

I throw in a cheap head torch with my recovery bag so its always ready to go when i need it and often I leave my good head torch in my swag

Comment from : Ciaran Watt

XJ!
Comment from : Thatairplaneguy

if you go out on your own more times than with others i would say, even though its more advanced and difficult to achieve, would be to carry three pulleys and and a 12v winch with enough straps to be able to reverse winch yourself out if needed Not something you'll probably ever need to do but just something to think about and yes it does work, there are a few good videos on youtube about it the other option is to mount your winch to a hitch receiver and have a receiver hitch on the bullbar as well as the rear so you can winch from the front or back easily( cabling of some kind would obviously need to be run to the rear) Another way is, instead of a 12v winch, something like a proper heavy duty hand winch, not the easiest to operate in terms of effort required, but probably the most versatile for a solo traveler in that you only need a decent attachment point to pull from and doesn't rely on limited battery power in the case of a rollover in the middle of the nowhere

Thanks Ronnie and crew Most important, always bring your sense on humor LOL

Comment from : istoleurpancakes

wouldnt that dyneema winch block cause heat burn in the rope?
Comment from : BM Prado Adventures

Hey Ronny I think you got the pulley example backwards Putting the pulley on the tree (fixed point) only changes the direction of the pull brTo double the pull or half the load, the pulley must be on the vehicle being recovered and the tree (fixed point) near the recovery vehiclebrIf you're referring to self extraction with a winch you need 2 pulleys to accomplish that
Comment from : Paul Weber

Have you seen “trac-grabbers”? They are rubber blocks that you can strap onto the outside of the tyre, to give you a bit of extra bite Just wondered what you think of them, if you know them?
Comment from : Solar Bud UK

A Tirfor One of those is far better than an electric winch as it does not cook the battery and works under water, I have pulled a ten ton truck out of a ditch with a three ton Tirfor
Comment from : Equiluxe1

One thing I would add is Gloves
Comment from : magillasviews

Who sales those new maxtrac and how much thank you love the show
Comment from : Domenic Curciarello

I read further comments below It seems an extension strap (tow strap) might not be the best item if you want additional length (no winch) but you would be better having TWO snatch straps ?brHowever a lot of the recoveries I have watched would probably have been just as easy using a light tow rather than a snatch - there must surely be times when all that is required is just a little more oomph that could be provided by a tow rather than the snatch I myself have been assisted out of sand with a tow and not a snatch
Comment from : chrissybabe

One comment and one question Comment - I seriously think a long handled shovel would be easier to use than the short handled variety Question - is an extension strap the same as a tow strap ?
Comment from : chrissybabe

A small tool box and a couple of lights
Comment from : Munaf Al Sarray

Solo travel i also take a hand cable winch so i can winch backwards or put it as a side load to stop slipping further into trouble
Comment from : Mike Burston

Not quite sure what to call it but what about a kit that converts your high lift into a polling mechanism kind of like a winch let's say if you end up snapping your cable or your winch Burns Out
Comment from : M3chgeek

very good! would you mind doing a video on how to stow the equipment on the vehicle?
Comment from : donald watson

Comment from : Donald Duck

Hey Ronny how much did the air jack cost? thinking about getting it over a high lift because there safer and I only have a Suzuki sierra
Comment from : Colby McDonald

A shovel snatch and treds that's all you need anything beyond that is catering for a specific track or 4wd stylebrbrFor example if you do nothing but beach work get a compressor snatch and a set of treds/maxtrax and a shovel you don't need anymore than thisbrbrBush driving the above add a winch and extra straps brbrHardcore off roading brThe above add a high lift for busted beads and extra recovery equipment extension straps etc and beers because you will be stuck a lot
Comment from : 4x4 Camping and Adventures

Maxtrax a total must have, solo travel or in a convoy, two sets each
