Recovery Kit Questions
Hi, I am beginning to build a recovery kit and have a couple questions.
1) I saw a Hi-Jack kit that apparently has the business end of an axe, shovel and sledge hammer that uses the Hi-Jack handle. Seems like a space saver and since I plan on getting a Hi-Jack anyway. Curious to know if anyone has any experience with them? 2) Would including 2 or 3 re-bar rods be worthwhile in the event of needing the winch where there were no suitable or any trees available? I am a nooby at this, but it occurred to me this is a possibility and then what? Thanks, |
What's your plan with re bar?

I think hes thinking of using the rebar as a stake to use as a winch point. if so, dont bother, you wont really be able to get them in solid enough, and if you did, your xj ways a good 3000 lbs. and if its stuck, youll likely just bend the rebar.
I keep a hi-lift, 30ft strap, 6ft tree strap, a snatch block, and 100ft of synthetic winch rope, a 10 ft chain, shovel, and axe in mine. If youve got a winch, the cable youve got on the winch, and another 100 ft of good winch rope should be able to get you to something solid. I mean, around here, I have to TRY to find someplace an xj will get stuck with nothing for 200ft. |
