Pull pal!
im sure there is more(more common sense is one thing...)

am i missing anything? what do you carry for recovery gear?

 

I used to carry most of that in my old Jeep (yes a Jeep cj was my recovery vehicle) light enough to get anywhere, and study enough to use see a bar for dang near any situation.

On item that I have found useful is carry a set of tailor ramps with grateing on one side and nice wide diamond plate on the other. They don't sink into the mud very much and they provide a high traction surface. They are great if your stuck somewhere in the mud and can't use a winch.

 

Let's see I guess I feel like typing...
