Winch
An important note to having a winch is to know how heavy your machinery is, that way it can serve it purpose in getting you unstuck💪
This one is perfect for me!

Let's say you're looking for something more heavy duty, Vevor has never let me down💪

There's even options under $100 that are for sure guaranteed to get you out of a bind!

Strap
Probably the most important must-have is a tow strap or even ratchet strap. Again, knowing how strong you need it so it will not break, is a must!
Absolutely cannot go wrong with a 4" thick strap for atv/utv, but may want more if you're in a truck or Jeep!

Another great option for getting pulled out of some thick mud is a kinetic strap, gives that extra bounce that is sometimes needed!
