Ultimate Recovery Gear Thread

Excellent points!

Hi guys,

From my experience, I feel that one big component is missing. Coveralls and boots. Here's why:

As most people on the site know, I love flyfishing and a lot of my overland involves getting to backcountry lakes or other spots. Oftentimes I go wearing my fishing clothing, shorts, etc. And do you really want to get that new LL Bean Bug-Off shirt covered in mud? No!

So I always keep a pair of steel toed rubber boots and a set of coveralls in the back for those muddy recoveries. If I see a spot that looks like it might require recovery before I go into it (like a mud hole), I will slip on the boots and coveralls first. However, most of the time I end up using it to help recover other vehicles who tried to go a bit further then they should have.

The extra bonus is, once the recovery is done, the mud stays outside of the cab.

Pete,
Great points! I usually wear "garage" or "work" clothes if I'm going out wheeling for the day. However, when my wife and I go camping I've often wondered how you guys stay clean. If there is grease or mud, I will find it and managed to get it on my clothes. Pehaps I'm just too nosy! :sport_box

Cheers :beer:,
