Essential Off-Road Recovery Gear from Harbor Freight

- If you are going off-roading, you need to carry some recovery gear. The challenge today was to see if we could build a decent recovery kit at Harbor Freight. Some of the items will be obvious like snatch straps, snatch blocks, soft shackles, and D-Rings, but I think we also threw in some other items that many people don't think of.
Let us know how you think we did.

A lot of people crap on HF..but I’ve been a fan for years. And those little shovels are a good buy… I’ve used mine a few times in the winter…my Jeep group goes out and rescues people stuck in the snow around town and it’s come in handy a few times…I wish they would make a Badlands max track!..that would be AWESOME
The Apache cases are a great buy for smaller items you want protected. Not quite as waterproof as pelican but budget friendly.
Been a HF customer for many years and I have to say their quality has improved considerably.
I could not agree with you more on the jacks. I carry a bottle jack too.
Man I’ve been waiting to get my gear because of the price tag on a lot of stuff. I’m gonna head over soon and make a kit! I’d rather have something than nothing at all and I can replace stuff as I go. 85% of my tools are HF Icon and I can’t say enough good things about them. I don’t know why I didn’t think to look at the recovery gear! Thank you very much!
You did a very nice and concise video. I think HF should make you a spokesman.
matts offroad recovery have taken a liking to the badlands winches.
im also with you on kinetic ropes>straps. used to break straps all the time, they were easily damaged and from a small nick in the strap, would break pretty soon after. however i am on the same rope for the last 3 or 4 years and its been amazing.
He also gets paid to promote them
Hands down that HF must of been a Walgreens at one point
Need a compact shovel.
I went with higher end for recovery gear. I have a hard time trusting HF stuff for that, especially when it could be a safety issue. Definitely better than not having it though. My local HF didn’t have near the selection of Badlands stuff shown here either. I did get all the tools to make a spare tool kit there.
You can build a Mars Rover at Harbor Freight
2:26 Some manufacturers specify "max breaking strength" as a way to make their gear seem stronger than it is. MINIMUM breaking strength is to what you want to pay attention. Maximum breaking strength is worthless and ridiculous. This soft shackle, even worse and possibly even more misleading, just says "breaking strength." So be careful. Having a soft shackle fail, especially during a kinetic rope recovery or a high tension steel winch rope recovery, can be fatal.
Couldn't agree more. I wish they had more information on those products.
@@TrailTraveler Me too.
