Title: recovering
Post by: jiffyman on January 08, 2006, 21:25:12: Which type of rope would be the best to have in your kit,

Kinetic, poly, nylon or the strop type.

As i'll be heading out more, with others who have no equipment, which would be the best to aid recovery if needed?

Cheers for help!

Post by: SteveG on January 08, 2006, 21:53:35: If buying just one get a long high rated strop that is 3" wide.

Kerr's are going for recovery in mud but to use one you need to be really sure that recovery points on both vehicles are good and up to the energies involved in this type of recovery

Cheers

The Niva comes with two sturdy towing eyes underneathe the bumper at the front, if I go for a bridle strop to spand BOTH eyes, what size shackels should I got for?
