Mine is constantly changing because I am always developing new gear and ideas, but the basics are.
'Recovery' is a pretty broad thing for me.
-Some way to air the tires down (and back up). Airing down is usually the first thing I try in most situations.
-Shovel
-Kinetic Recovery Rope. Something about 25' long x 7/8 or 1" diameter lately.
-At least a half dozen misc soft shackles that aren't married to specific gear
Soft Shackle. This unit is constructed out of 7/16 'Amsteel Blue' SK-78 Dyneema in the 'improved' dual leg design. This gives a minimum breaking strength of 45,500lbs! This results 3:1 safe Working Load Limit of 7.5 tons. Each unit includes a long abrasion guard made from relaimed wildland fire...

-2, maybe 3 ( cause I was playing with backwards winching the other day ), of my Recovery Ring Packages. My new recovery rings allow a lot of new advanced techniques like double rigging.
Note: Major update! New best in the industry package price. Because of ongoing supplier issues, I am now providing a larger custom made CNC 6061-T6 Aluminum Recovery Ring of my own design in this package along with including the newest updated soft shackle made from the highest quality materials...

-For a receiver hitch based recovery point, I use one of my SSRA devices with a dedicated pre-rigged soft shackle. All my vehicles are 2.0 hitch, but I usually have a separate 2.5 unit just in case....or a sleeve adapter. A 2.5 to 3.0 adapter is also nice to have. Don't forget a spare hitch pin or two.
This 5-axis machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum masterpiece provides the perfect connection for soft rigging into a 2.0" receiver hitch. The SSRA ( Soft Shackle Receiver Adapter) from Brennan's Garage provides the safest, most direct, connection to the pin in a common receiver hitch while using...

-Two ( or more) 3" wide by 8' long Flat Straps. They work great for Tree Straps, building independent leg bridles, or a short tow strap system on the trail along with lots of other uses.
-At least one 8400lb (lift) rated endless sling. The 6 footers are pretty useful when you need to go around something a bit sharper than normal. I like how the load bearing inner is well protected by the outer sheath. Cheap to replace when they get damaged. Can also be looped over large rocks or stumps.
-Winch extension. Usually something about 100' long, but I have a few different options these days to experiment with.
-One hard shackle in most of the common sizes just in case I have to rig to a hard edge existing recovery point on another vehicle.
-Gloves are kept handy in the glove box or center console.
-Winch controller is where I can reach it from the drivers seat
