The TrailRecon Recovery Equipment Guide

Overlanding is easily one of the best ways to explore the great outdoors; however, it brings its own set of challenges and can be unpredictable. There is always the chance you’ll need to recover your vehicle or others from a sticky situation. This guide covers everything you need to know about putting together an effective recovery kit.

Winches:

A winch is a motorized recovery tool that adds a layer of safety and capability to your overlanding rig. Enabling you to recover your own vehicle as well as other vehicles, a winch is a valuable tool for any vehicle to be equipped with. Whether you get stuck in a mud pit, in deep snow, or just need an extra tug to get up a rocky hill, a winch will enable confident exploration. We also offer heavy-duty winch lines, hooks, fairleads, winch controllers, and recovery kits.

Jacks:

While overlanding, there is always the possibility of a flat tire or other issue that requires lifting your vehicle off the ground. Our off-roading jacks will help you get back on the trail in no time.

Traction Boards:

Offering impressive versatility, traction boards are a simple yet effective recovery tool. Traction boards can prove to be essential when traversing soft sand or deep snow, providing a grippy platform for your rig's tires to grab onto. They can also be used as a ramp when navigating down a steep ledge. Additionally, they are lightweight and can easily be stored on roof racks or in the cab of your rig.

Ropes and Straps:

Whether you are pulling a stuck vehicle out of the mud or replacing your winch with brand new line, a recovery rope is a must-have tool when out adventuring. Kinetic ropes are perfect for tugging vehicles that are stuck in mud, sand, snow, etc. Straps are a multi-purpose tool for recoveries and can be used as a tree saver, to extend a winch line, or used to tow a dead vehicle off the trail.

Snatch Blocks:

Another essential tool for recoveries is the snatch block; this tool increases the pulling force of a winch and allows for the redirection of a pull. This can prove beneficial when you want to safely pull a stuck vehicle sideways, rather than simply forward or backward.

Shackles:

Shackles provide a stable attachment point to recover a vehicle from. When you need an incredibly durable and strong recovery point, a metal shackle is a great tool to have. Soft shackles, on the other hand, are much lighter weight and are still incredibly strong. They also can be wrapped around a greater variety of surfaces such as axles and roll bars without damaging the paint or metal that it's attached to.
