What's in your breakdown/getting stuck kit?

[anonymous-user]

Hi, I'm interested in what kit you all carry in case you get stuck and loose traction and haven't got a mate with a tow rope Cheers

As a minimum:

• Gloves
• Round bladed shovel (not one of those stty folding jobbies).

Depending on the vehicle I might add the following (assuming the recovery points are sound):

• Tirfor (hand winch)
• Couple of shackles
• Strop
• Long rope (8-10m)

However, the rest of my kit usually contains:

• Short rope (4-5m)
• Bridle
• Pulley block
• Chain
• D rings

Hi-lift jack and base.
Pointed shovel (works OK in all ground types we encounter in UK)
Very long rope
Shorter rope
Tree strop
Long bow saw

Lucky in that my laning car has chassis structure front, rear and sides suitable for using the hi-lift making self-recovery fairly easy if sometimes time-consuming.

I have a pair of waffles; also just got the wheel winch thing after reading about it in the thread below; and also a set of plastic things that go on the tyres, after reading about people using ratchet straps to attach bits of wood to the tyres, link below.
You need a shovel, as I got myself unstuck once using one when my front diff grounded in some ruts.

No problem.

All I'd say is whatever you carry, make sure you know how to use it safely and effectively.
