OFF ROAD RECOVERY ESSENTIALS I CARRY (and you should too!)

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

➡️ Do you think I forgot something in my recovery kit ? Tell me ! 🙏

[@spidifilerijder]

I have always with me: an (old) blanket - when it's getting cold - something to make fire: a lighter, fire lighters - an axe - a small saw - rain cover system -

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Perfect additions to the kit 👊 thanks for the suggestions. Since my Forester is dedicated to Expeditions all of this is permanently in it! I should have mentioned them in the video 😉

[@spidifilerijder]

snow chains. Always usefull.

[@essequamvideri]

- tire puncture repair kit?

[@bosshogg55]

An Axe

[@TheMode541]

Not sure if it's the language difference, or a quirky sense of humor but I got many laughs during this video, thank you! Well done.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Ahahah I'm still happy it made you laugh 😂

[@reeiss]

Something you wish you never have to use, but when you do it’s a lifesaver. Think I might get a hand winch with the accessories. Thanks for the video!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

That's exactly that! Well said 👊 The hand winch can be a good idea yes (and christmas is coming 😁)

[@v26224]

100% agree, soft shackles are awesome

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Definitely 👊

[@fredc.schulze6116]

Helpful information. I have most of the gear in my Subaru Outback while softroading in Arkansas; hope I don't have to use it. Your video reminded me of a few more things to get. You also reminded me that my wife & I need to practice using our come-along again. Thank you!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Thanks for your comment! 🙏 Awesome that the video reminded you of a few things, that's why I make them 😁 have fun training with your come along and stay safe 👊

[@softroadingthewest]

Nice work Jordan, great run-down of the essentials, and also an excellent reminder about the training, which I admit I haven't really done much of. And I still need to swap out my over-rated snatch strap for something better suited to my Forester. Definitely agree about keeping the recovery gear nice and accessible. Your setup with the rifle case and boards mounted to it is very clever.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Thanks Donald ! I'm glad you enjoyed it and a few reminders time to time is helpful for everyone 👊 Can you easily find "SUV" rated snatch strap in the USA ? I swear it doesn't exist in Europe 😂

[@Just4FunRC]

Nice jordan! yeah we cant haul tons of tools in oure subbies. i would like to ad 2 more items. a simple Axe and a hammer, incase a log is jammed in youre suspenion links. helped me a few times here in Norway

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Thanks mate ! The space is definitely limited and we also have to be careful with the weight ! There are a lot of stuff we can include in this kit such as axe en hammer ! I do have both of them I just didn't talked about it in the video. Hammer is with my other tools and spare parts in the spare tire well and the axe on the side of the driver seat ! I also have a foldable hand saw 👊

[@4n461]

You have a good kit for your vehicle. Other things I carry in my Jeep are a fire extinguisher (not sure if you mentioned that), a small axe, a folding saw for tree limbs, a blanket, a large folded plastic tarpaulin in case you need to crawl under the vehicle in the mud, extra tire valve caps in case you lose one (never run in mud without them), tie wraps (AKA zip ties), and a couple of ratchet straps are handy to have. I also carry a battery jump box (or jumper cables).

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

All of what you say are also good things to have! (I have most of them just didn't mention it in the video) the tarp is a good idea! I remember ripping my rear bumper off and had to crawl in the mud, under the car to put it back on 😂 wasn't fun!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

And thank you for your comment 🙏

[@v26224]

regarding training, i did a 2 day basic 4wd course a few months ago, lots of great information, and some practice vehicle recoveries, and then some real recoveries. was good to do some practices because it pointed out some flaws in our kit. I.E missing gear, that could be rectified before our next trip.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Practice and training is definitely the way to go! Good move doing one with professionals 👍

[@foresterboy2011]

As usual Jordan excellent vlog. There are a few recovery items i still need to buy but I'll get there... Once gain keep up the great work.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Thanks John! I'm glad to hear it helped 🙏

[@spidifilerijder]

6.30: I used the same "winch" to pull out my Dacia 2 wheel drive stucked in mud - with a trailer full of wood... It worked. I used this winch with an old alpin climbing rope because the nearest tree was to far ... It get me out. Lucky me.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Thank you for your feedback Bob ! These winch are very great tools and also pretty cheap. a win win !

[@boristemkin]

Nice. You forget axe and saw. And 5 tonnes strap is not perfect for Forester, especially if it is near to fully loaded (about 1800 kg or more). IMHO 8 tonnes is good. 5 (or even 6) tonnes is good for Suzuki Jimny, it's real lightweight. Forester is between middle and light.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

General rule is that the snatch strap should be rated for 2 to 3 time the vehicule mass. My foz is 1700kg so... we are good 😉

[@ItaliansAreFromItaly]

I've been starting to get into off roading on some trails and I always go alone and I am very new to it. I can't believe I've been going out with absolutely nothing in case I get in a bad situation and some of the trails are pretty hardcore. Deff gonna have to get some of the items you listed here :)

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Awesome mate ! You can start with a few basics like the recovery boards !

[@pastytit]

Use high lift jack and wheel strap. Lift up using the wheels.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

That's an option, not the best

[@RumbleOverland]

Great video! One other thing we carry here in NZ in snow chains, which also work equally well in mud.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Snow chains are great! And as you said useful in mud too. Sadly I don't think I have enough spring perch clearance to use them 😔

[@essequamvideri]

👍 for training & common sense. know how to use your gear. know the limits of your rig. keep up the good work!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Exactly! 🔥 Thanks for the support mate! 🙏

[@SmallADVentures1973]

That was a great, very informative video, brother, definitely helpful (especially since we don't carry much recovery gear in the FJ). Liked and Shared as always, wishing y'all a great weekend! 😁✌

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

It's time to upgrade your recovery kit then ! 😀 I'm glad it was helpful ! Thank you for your support, have a great weekend too !

[@Maximonious]

I need more training! Thanks for emphasizing that!!!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Yes! We always need more training 😉

[@miguelvives8927]

Another thing. Jump Start Automotive Battery Jumper Cables. Great video!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Yes a jump starter is great to have and now they also have a bunch of USB ports so you can use it a power bank too for your electronics devices. I had one before and removed it from my kit. Why? Because I now have my aux battery I can use for that 👊

[@leeperola7023]

Cool film man. You are super prepared for everything. I've got 2001 bug eye impreza and landrover freelander for offloading. Both I do the same as you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Awesome! Nice cars you have man 😁 have fun with them and thanks for your message 🙏

[@jhbryaniv]

Good stuff Jordan! Great video!

[@jhbryaniv]

Now that I'm done watching - I don't have enough recovery gear in my foz. When I had my tacoma my buddy and I were using our recovery gear at least weekly because we would get into sticky situations. That John b guy in Florida sounds like a cool dude.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Prepare for the worst and hope for the best 👊 It's also good to use this gear in real situations sometimes hehehe. Yes, that John is awesome 😁 Have a great weekend my friend!

[@jhbryaniv]

@@ALNSMOVERLAND you too! Sidenote, you can never train to much. You always fall back to the lowest level of proficiency.

[@slowstihatch677]

I need more training! Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. Hopefully, my wrx hatch will be as badass as yours soon! Cheers from California!

[@ВасяСтепанов-э3п]

Hi Jordan, nice video! Why dont you want to have a high-lift Jack? It easily can be used to lift Forester with LiftMate accessories on your wheels, also you have a metal rear bumper to lift. Have you used your winch in real hard conditions? I saw many reviews that almost all they are useless 😅 I think hilift Jack is much more durable and powerful!

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

I had one but sold it very quickly. it's very heavy and we have to be careful with weight in our litlle Subaru. I though about the LiftMate thing but lifting from the wheel is not very optimal. As you said, the hilift as a hand winch is probably thougher, more durable and powerful than the hand winch I have but I don't think it's worth it. I will re-think about it when I have a "real" big 4wd hehehe

[@boristemkin]

@@ALNSMOVERLAND You don't need to have "real big 4wd". Forester forever... :)

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Make more videos about the handwinch. I bought one because of your video :) 4t

Awesome! I have another planned! Stay tuned 🔥🙏

[@rienkhoek4169]

I would really love to see how that works when you're properly stuck.

[@slol144]

roll of baling wire, duct tape, spare pair of gloves for that other person and blanket to lay on the cable/winch line just in case it snaps under tension

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Yes! I would like to have a proper winch line dampener. You can put a blanket or jacket on it but it will probably end up really dirty 😂thanks for the reminder !

[@flyingjeep911]

Hello from the Oregon, USA

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Hey there! You are lucky, Oregon is beautiful 😉

[@powerofyourbrains]

We like having a machete, ax, or a chainsaw. Also, have you considered getting a powered winch? We used to have ours set up to mount in the tow hitch for when we need it. Worked pretty good, especially if you don't want to modify the bumper.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

I forgot to mention it but hatchet and handsaw is part of my kit and always with me! 👊 I'm looking more and more at chainsaws 😁 and I'm also thinking about a winch but I'm afraid about the weight... My n/a Ej20 is already struggling 😂 what is the capacity of yours?

[@powerofyourbrains]

@@ALNSMOVERLAND superwinch terra 45, 4500 lbs or just over 2000 kg. Weighs only about 16 kg or so

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

Okay, that's not a lot! But is the load capacity enough? 🤔

Great video! (And nice title 😉) How do you find accessing your gear on the roof? Looks like it’s a pain to get stuff out of up there.

[@ALNSMOVERLAND]

The title is perfect 😁 (Thanks !) The gear on the roof is very accessible from both sides, you can even open the windows and climb on the door to be very comfortable. Or even climb on the roof (roof top tent in my case) I do that very often ahaha
