I disagree .. strops and slings are absolutely fine for towing or as winch extensions, or if that's all you've got in an emergency, but for recovery from a 'stuck in the mud' point of view, a decent rope is a far better option, more resilient and much less likely to damage the recovered or recovery vehicle than any strap/strop/sling.

I do. I've not put it under any load as yet so next weekend will be even better...
Kinda worried about this strop that I've just bought. Any recommendations for a decent one???
Wrong person to ask, I'm after a rope

I bought mine from Adventure4x4 and they held when I tried to get Tim out.

I just got one of them but from here:- FRENCH ARMY SURPLUS TOWING STROP heavy duty nylon tow strap rope new / unissued | eBay
bit cheaper (not that i have short arms and deep pockets
Or if your after other recovery equipment you could have a look here:-
WELCOME - Recce-gear
Yep, thats the buggers, if you aint used it, send it back, chocolate and teapot...
definatly NOT suitable for off roaders, unless they happen to be, erm.... on the road.
I bought thinking, fender weight 3 tonne max, thats a 3x limit, presuming that 9T was the WORKING load, not the BREAKING load.

this saturdayHe's being converted
When are they going laning? Pics will be essential
usually "dead", or static. 24mm staple spun polypropylene. any length you want, I have a selection.
contact your local territorial army place and find out what they do with the old aerial runway rope after gala's. they make ideal recovery ropes.
Didn'"t get invited. You going

Don't worry .. if you've done them before and you know they're easy that can be part of the 'training' .. I'll try to show you or tell you what I look for when going down a new lane (they'll all be new to me probably) and what would make me turn around etc ... Sure there'll be somewhere we can stop, even if it's a pub car park ...
