Good stuff! I'm gonna get some Sandy Cats shackles too. Some one used my bubba rope soft shackle on a snatch block with sharp edges. It didn't break, but many strands were cut through :(
Great points! I'm learning some things now. Now I know that I need to buy this extra gear especially those boards. At first, I thought it was a board to medivac someone out who had gotten injured. Next thing , I will have to figure out how heavy I want the vehicle to be and where to store these items at. My vehicle burns way too much fuel.
Kudos on not dragging a useless High Lift Jack with you and admitting it. Bottle jack and a stack of 2x4 blocks FTW. Also, I once heard it said, "If traction boards got you out, you weren't actually stuck." I have been off-roading for about 25 years and never owned a set. Maybe I'm missing something.
I swear by Maxtrax myself. I could have gotten out using just the winch on those occasions, but it sure is a lot faster to just throw a board down and drive out.
@@IndependenceOverland I've been on the fence about buying a set, but I might just get some cheap ones to try out first. And that quote is from Matt at Matt's Offroad Recovery. 🙃
Bout time someone actually said, "No Hi-lift jack." We don't use one either ... For multiple reasons. And you said "your going to get flack after you talked about tire size. Naaaaugh, not by folks that watch this channel. We run 33's on both our Jeeps and I think we are going to stay there. It's more fun... And I like having to use my recovery gear! "Wahooo! I finally get to use my winch." But you know what!?! We haven't use it on ours, it's been to help others so far ... And had I paid attention, it was probably to help people with bigger tires then us. Hahahaha. I'm only at 2:19 so let's go see what you got. We are all probably the same, with slight differences.... But this is great for the beginners. Great job
Thanks for the video, great info, and Sandy Cats is great. Do you have any links for which Synthetic rope you use on your winch? I am shopping and there are too many. Also any links for your Propane set up? Thanks love your content Tyler and Blue
Hey man! This winch comes with a synthetic line, so I was just using that. It’s been working pretty good so far! I had bought a MasterPull for my old Warn and it was a very nice rope. Top tier. For my propane, do you mean the mount? It’s from a little company called Refined Cycle. And the tank is just the typical Flame King 5lb tank. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKMT1YKP/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_6R8C1Y59WHJ7V566Q3NG?linkCode=ml2&tag=independenc09-20
@@IndependenceOverland Thanks Man! Yes, that's exactly what I needed. Way too many ropes to choose from. Great meeting you briefly at NW Overland. Thank for your work and content.
About those maxtrax, I have the cheaper version. Hard plastic, nothing special. I've failed like 5 out of 7 recoveries with them. My tires can't grab them. The best use for them are as shovels for snow.
Yeah man, a good set of boards really is worth the extra money. But I do understand they are expensive, I paid full price for my Maxtrax and paid nothing for the budget boards I tested. The cheap stuff isnt worth carrying along.

Ah man that sucks! I am looking forward to running around in the sand dunes this spring and testing out the kinetic ropes!
Thanks for taking the time to do this video , very helpful.
Thank you for the feedback!
Just got my FJ,
I’m probably gonna be relying heavily on your setup for inspiration.
Thank you!
@jurassicfrank1935
You’re gonna love the FJ!
Thanks man! I assume you saw my entire walk around video I did a few years back?
@@IndependenceOverland
Yes! I’ve watched it a couple times. The chapter’s really help when I refer back to it.

Custom Splice makes so good soft items and billet aluminum.
Thank you for your videos. For now I only dream about these things and trips, but I learn so much with your videos.
Thanks for checking them out man!
Just bought the NRS straps for my MAXTRAX. Used the link provided 👍
Thank you sir! I appreciate that!
Very good video, good to know and always learning 😎👍🏽 thanks for this

Another one coming soon, though not as exciting...
@@IndependenceOverland you'd be surprised. Whether it's one item or all, it's still informative. 👍🏽Keep charging! 👊🏽

I got a Sandy Cats Kinetic rope too! I should probably buy a set of soft shackles from them too 🤔
Do it!
Some purposely don’t have it readily accessible (I think ASPW) so they can add time and thought to a recovery. What situations would be emergent?

Real knowledge! And of course a Toyota will save you from your demise!

Snatch ring not snatch block
So what size tires do you run?

Ha ha ha! Yes they will be driving a Toyota as they pull the Jeep out 😂 💪🏻
