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. New 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 de-
termined 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
29
to securely
attach to an
alternate anchor
point (not to a
live tree) like a
buried spare
tire, buried log
or a large rock.
