Recovery Gear Bag Recommendation

[PNW EXPLR]

Hey all!

Looking for some recommendations on a quality bag to keep my recovery gear in. Something you have experience with is preferred. Needs to be large enough to keep a extended recovery rope, several 3/4 & 7/8" shackles, a couple snatch blocks, and some tree straps.

Links would be helpful.

Thank for your help!

I went with 2 ARB recovery bags. The large and the side zip rectangular one for my gear. The large holds...........a bridle 8 ft.), a kinetic strap 20 ft, a 30 foot tow strap/winch line extension, and a Warn H/D winch blanket. It also can carry a simple scissor type snatch block (36k) The small rectangular bag holds a tree/bridle (8 ft strap), and 2- 7/8" shackles and the same 36k snatch block. I also have the HD type snatch block that WARN and Smittybilt offer (heavy wt.) that i carry separately. A couple of 3/4" shackles also fit.

I have a tasked zip bag that carries a 2 ton 'come-along' which goes in the option column if possibly needed. Decent bags are not cheap
overall, and at least with these they are specific

ARB Large bag.


ARB MICRO BAG
I like the bright recovery orange color. It makes for easy identification, like if you ask someone to get it when time is a factor) The quality seems HD also on both bags. Yes they are a little expensive, but can not be mistaken in a packed expedition rig......aka......easy identification. I have missed some small gear in the dark post use, so the bright color is a reminder also. Many places offer them, price is similar, but you can find deals either on sales tax or shipping etc.

Of course it does not have to be flashy, any bag will work, but quality and heavy duty construction will make for years of use, , Look at what gear amount you will need, and what will fit for your needs.


If I get a snatch rope, it will have it's own bag

I went the box route. Stacks far easier on the roof rack than a bag, otherwise it has to go inside. I picked up a couple of the Ridgid 22" stackable boxes. Have only used one thus far. Fits a Gear America 30' 3" strap, 25' Kinetic rope, 2 3/4" shackles, AEV Tree Saver, gloves, trailer pins, zip ties, etc. Stacks neatly vertically on the roof between my cargo boxes.

These bags double as a winch line dampener. Not so large that they are hard to handle when full of gear.

I've got a regular sized version of the above bag and keep a 30 foot strap, 2 shackles and a pair of gloves in one and a kinetic rope and 2 soft shackles with room to spare in another. The above one is about 6 inches longer and a few inches wider and may hold what you are trying to pack in there.
