Greenlaning gear

[AndyD]

So I finally got 2 more AT tyres to match the rears (had roads on the front when I got it), and I plan on starting to explore the greenlanes in my area.
The zuke's completely standard, so no winch, and I'll either be going solo, or with a friend who rides an enduro bike So no assistance available!

So I'm looking for advice on what gear I should have incase I get stuck?

Currently thinking at least a hi-lift jack, a pair of small waffle boards and a shovel.
Anything else that is either necessary or potentially extremely useful?

Found this guy who looks to have a great range of stock;

Kinetic rope with decent shackles and some proper recovery points not the standard tow points

Waffel boards are a good call and if you're getting the hi lift get a winching kit with it and a tree strop so you can use the Jack as a handwinch, as said you need decent recovery points front and rear, but safety in numbers is important too be careful if your out on your own matey

I did hear you can use a high lift jack as a winch, so I'll get the winch kit as well then:
2m 14t Tree strop, 4m 5t extension strop,
8m 5t Extension strop, 2 3.25t Shackles,
Leather gloves, Kit bag

And a couple of extra shackles to make 4?

And I won't be trying anything too challenging if I'm the only car out, just want some extra security incase I end up bogging a wheel down...


Don't think a kinetic rope will be of much use to me at first, although it would be hilarious to see a motorbike attached to a stuck SJ with a bungee chord then accelerate away...
But I see you're in Sunderland? I'm in Newcsatle, you ever out greenlaning nearby?

Few burly passengers will do the trick if you are out solo

[dunnin21]
