Hi all

Finally got my truck ready for its first play and pay the end of this month, but need to get some recovery straps etc I have a winch fitted, but what else will I need for general winching out etc?

Also where is a good place to get straps, shackles etc from?

Cheers

Tree strops, snatch blocks, winch blanket (to go over the wire/rope), plenty of shackles.

Usually buy my stuff from here. Electric winches | Recovery accessories | Trailer winches | Winch rope

i use these for all my challenge stuff

Damar Webbing Solutions Ltd - Manufacturer of Lifting Slings,Ratchet Straps,4x4 Offroad Tow Strap,Recovery Straps for Vehicle transporter

the tree strops with a hook at one end and a ring at the other are pretty much the only thing we use in winch challenges

you'll need a winch sail too to cover your rope incase it snaps
