Shovel & Other Hand tools
Depending on your situation, sometimes just having
a winch is not enough. We recommend carrying
compact tools such as a shovel, Hi-Lift
®
Jack or multi
tools to help you out of those extra tough situations.
Military-style off road
shovel designs actually
fold up and are easily
stored under a seat. In
this case, it is better “to
have it and not need it
rather than need it and
not have it!”
Tow Hooks and Choker Chain
As with all off road adventures the gear you carry
other than what is suggested above is determined by
the terrain you will be going through. If you do plan on using
your winch due to advanced trail conditions we suggest
that you have front and rear tow hooks
mounted to the frame of your vehicle.
These tow hooks will become critical
when you need to connect back to your
vehicle when using a snatch block or
if you need a secure pull point for your
buddy to pull you out. Another tool of the off road is a
choker chain. This heavy duty chain with hooks on each end
can be used as a
way to securely
attach to an
alternate anchor
point (not to a live
tree) like a buried
spare tire, buried
log or a large rock.
