don't forget bleed-stop for the first aid kit. could save your life.
Used similiar ones with a strap for years when I worked out in the field, still have 2. I run 16 and 18 inch Greenworks battery chainsaws, I have to say I like them. What surprises me I so far so good no bar oil leaks. I keep a Kobolt 12 inch on my side x side it leaks like a sieve, but gets the job done. Same I'm for the straps vs chains.When (probably not an if with the progress they're making w/ batteries) they come out with an electric chainsaw that sawyers are actually buying—I'll make the switch back to a chainsaw
Agree w/ Poser, do not use a tow a rope (or a chain) for pulling someone out (or for someone pulling you out)- you definitely want a snatch strap, make it a longer one.
I don't have a winch on my truck, but I have one of these; not you're average cumalong

Our department would not equip or work trucks w/ winches for some damn reason; got all my guys one of these for their truck—we made quite a few impressive recoveries with them.
Condoms are like rattle snakes, I don’t f@$# with them lolCondoms?
Good idea. They are cheap enough at HFI always take a code reader that will read live data (engine temp, o2 sensor output, voltage, fuel pressure, etc). A friend had her newish car fail to start at the Target parking lot with no check engine light or code. I didn’t know anything about that year/make/model, but the live data showed an engine temp much higher than it should have - obviously the temp sensor was bad and the computer was injecting fuel as if it was hot, which was too lean to fire the cold engine. Unplugging the sensor put the engine into some default mode with a check engine light, but it started. Had this been some trailhead in the middle of nowhere, best case it could have ruined a few days of fun. Just the cost of a tow two hours from town and simple diagnosis will buy a new rifle.
