Ever heard the saying 'All the gear, No idea'
It's better to add things as you find that you need them, rather than slinging a load of gear on willy nilly.

What is it you do for work?
With a 3 way snatch block it should be ok as long as you are only lightly stuck and aren't getting pulled in by a vacuum.
The 4500lb winches like to snap in half so keep a close eye on it. If you are out with others, you are far better off getting another vehicle to pull you out. I have an emergency 2 ton leccy winch and it's pulled some amazing things. As long as you are careful and know how to get the best from yer winch you'll be ok.
Don't forget that if yer on yer own and get stuck, a winch aint any god without summit to attatch it to.
im a builder, the winches have always come in usefull for hoisting kit up scaffolding! haha
ok thanks for the advice ill keep it in mind. im looking for a anchor now, want the flat type with the pins, any idea where i can get 1 at a good price?
want a kinetic rope and some straps if anyone has any for sale aswell??

Kinetic ropes are great but as far as I am concerned they are a last resort. I've had mine for over 5 years now and NEVER had to use it yet.
Get yerself some angle iron. Cut 5 lengths of about 18" and make a point on one end and drill a hole on the other. deploy em in a v with a chain and D shackles holding em together. Dirt cheap then.

Ground anchors from Anchor supplies
Forget the kinetic rope unless you are a very accomplished off roader with plenty of experience of doing snatch recoveries. I wouldn't bother. I'd never allow anyone to recover me using a kinetic rope. They put too much strain on recovery points and tow hitches. & if they snap can easily kill or seriously maim someone.

No probs.
I think you'll find that what MHM was hinting at is that kinetic ropes tend to start arguements between those that think they are dangerous and those that think they are the best thing since sliced bread.

I was indeed
I didnt think "want a kinetic rope and some straps if anyone has any for sale aswell??" was asking a Q about there useability, just their availability.

You're best buying recovery straps new. That way you know their history. You should also get the certificate which you will need to keep if you are using them for business use.
