After my last stuck I go more prepared. I used to carry a 30x20,000 strap and 3 d-shackles. Now I carry a shovel, strap, d-shackles- a hi-lift jack, these home made wood ladder looking things I have seen someone use to get a rv out. You put them under the tires and the truck has traction on those. a cell phone. 6 pack of water, flashlight, a garden ho (easier to push and pull sand) two pair of gloves (burned my hands moving rocks last time) Magnesium (never know if you need to start a fire) and a hatchet. the winch will be coming soon. I need to get the bumper first then I will be a getting a 12.5 winch either warn or Milemarker.
