As a volunteer with the local county’s CERT*, I’m always on the lookout for safety items and search-and-rescue tools that can help in emergencies — plus it gives me an excuse to look at and buy stuff for my truck. This Rugged Ridge kit is aimed at the 4×4 crowd, but it could also be useful to the less off-road user. The kit contains a 2″×30′ 20,000 lb. recovery strap, a 3″×6′ 30,000 lb. tree trunk protector strap, a 20,000 lb. snatch block pulley, two heavy-duty 9,500 lb. D-rings, a winch line damper, a pair of leather gloves, and a storage bag. It’s available online for as low as $70.
Couple this kit with a 4.75-ton-weight-rating Smittybilt Receiver Hitch D-Ring in your 2″ hitch receiver, and you can be the puller — or pullee — of choice in an emergency.

Wow, that’s a really good price for a natch-block and tree strap. Plus you get all the other fun stuff.
That’s a great price for the equipment you need for doing vehicle extractions, and has all the safety gear you need (besides commen sense)
