Re: Hunter Range, Saturday 16 March 2013
Hi Gail don't stress too much about recovery gear for this trip. I have it all. In general, however, you should as minimum carry an appropriate snatch strap, a shovel and rated shackles if travelling with another vehicle. If travelling alone all of the above plus winches, maxtraxx etc. A chainsaw is not really part of recovery gear but can be valuable in the bush. I carry a hatchet which usually takes care of small stuff. I also have drag chains so I can move any larger obstructions (to a limit of course).
As far as recovery points, the front point is fine for winching and OK for snatching if only lightly stuck. A tow bar would be an ideal rear recovery point. Again, for this trip, I don't see anyone getting stuck but if you do we will figure something out.
In summary, for this trip if you have a snatch strap, shovel and shackles bring them. If you don't then not a big deal.

Just bring your own food. It's too hard to try and provide for everyone so it's every 'man' for themselves.

Sadly there isn't Dave. The only option would be to stop at the Colo River on the way back down the Putty Road at the end of the day.
