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 😊 Comment from : Colin Clarke |

A tomahawk/ axe/ bush saw /chainsaw for fallen timber (at least one of) Comment from : neil lendrum |

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 Comment from : Wilson Stevens |

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 Comment from : Wuodan Strasse |

A satilite phone Comment from : Ron McCabe |

Best recovery gear kit video I have seen, really covers everything Comment from : Michael Becker |

Jeep owners should never travel alonebrAlways take a donor vehicle Comment from : Ian Richardson |
|
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👍🏻 Comment from : Hans- Jürgen Wiegand |

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 Comment from : Joel Culley |
|
Tyre deflator what’s wrong with a stick mate Comment from : Nelson Cook |
|
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 Comment from : GunGuyTV |
|
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!!! Comment from : Christopher Baxter |
|
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 Comment from : Alyson Turner |
|
Ronnie can you talk about strap ratings for different vehicles? The MBS ratings in particular Comment from : Jamie Carlyle |
|
Some way of cutting wood 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 |
|
Nice XJ :) Comment from : W K II |
|
Probably won't kill someone-haha Comment from : Leodhas W-S |
|

|

|
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 : Tom |
|
A wife 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 Comment from : k horder |
|
Thanks Ronnie and crew Most important, always bring your sense on humor LOL Comment from : slowboat |
|
Where can one buy two pairs of the new Maxtrax Xtremes? Comment from : DjPepelicious |
|
Watched an episode of 4WD Action Off-road and they had a spot where it took 8 max tracks to get truck and trailer through a spot Comment from : Harry Ballzack |
|
Exhaust Jack, shovel, coupla snatchies & phonebooks 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 |
|
Basic Tool Kit - Cheap Supa Centre one seems well thought out and quality is fine 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 Comment from : Rolly B |
|
What happened to 4 wheeling decal? 😆 Comment from : md kol |
