I've got a 6' long tree saver, a 30' tow strap with loops, a 20' tow strap with hooks that I hate, a roughly 10' strap I just made from a road find this week, and a 20' 5/16" chain. I also have 3 shackles I carry. I've never had to use it all, but I've been in a couple situations where my winch cable and 1 strap wasn't enough to do any good.

I carry two 30' straps, spare synthetic winch cable and a tree saver. Along with snatch blocks, shackles, axe, saw, shovel, tools, first aid kit and a few other odd n ends. They live in a 25mm ammo can and it never leaves the rig. Pull pal/land anchor will be added here shortly.

I carry this, it's just as strong as a good strap but lighter and smaller.

That's some heavy chain (5/16"). I carry 5/16" marine braid rope. It's alot lighter so I can carry more. Came in handy afew months ago when I had to reach out 75 feet to find a suitably sized tree to anchor to.

I have a 65' synthetic rope on winch, an additional 50' synthetic rope, a 20' recovery strap and tree saver. In these East Tennessee hills one wrong move can mean a long recovery. Usually requiring a chainsaw too.
