Nylon Recovery straps

[Zrock]

definitely no hooks. they can and will break and end up through your window or hit someone. I always have a few good shackles stored with my strap

Straps are a thing of the past, for any kind of recovery job use a kinetic rope

In our offroad club, we were told 3 times the weight of the vehicle. For my Jeep TJ, I run an 18,000lb strap, I beleive. And yes.... NO hooks. EVER!

Yah there is a formula we use designing recovery lugs. I think its like twice the weight with a vehicle in mud up to is axles.... Straight pull, no jerk. 3 times would cover the jerk and some angle.

Never heard of snatch rope, but if it's made out of snatches, it's gotta be tough stuff......those things take a beating.

Bubba Rope

x2 braided has way more spring than straps

Kinetic, bubba... I know them as Boing ropes. IMO for sure the way to go.
I pulled out a Dodge 3/4 ton that was hung up on his rear ends with my 1200 lbs. dune buggy. Parked bumper to bumper and let er rip. Took a few jerks but I got him out. No stress, was a forceful but soft deceleration as the rope tightened up.

A good example in the link. Going up hill, in sand the stuck truck is in deep, look how easy to pull out. Both trucks would be stuck with a regular strap.

At one point pevey mart in Spruce Grove carried a bunch of the 3/4" x 20 foot but that was the only size.
