    Mine might get used this arvo to pull star pickets

      I dont think that a highlift jack for getting you out of deep bogs is going to be that useful. It might, but in reality if you are bogged in mud then a high lift is going to be a nightmare. If yu are bogged in sand it might help, but a set of maxtax and a good shovel will be far easier, safer and quicker, not to mention lighter than the high lift.

      Have you ever tried winching with a high lift? once again it can be done but it is very very slow, bloody hard work and you need to carry more heavy chain to make this work. Highlifts have their uses, however I see them as a last bit of kit to complete your recovery gear rather than a first option, jacking and side ways shunting in deep ruts is probably where they are the most useful, I have only ever done this once and it was the camper trailer we were shunting sideways.

      For my money, if you are travelling solo around the North of the country my recovery kit would go like this. In order until you don't want to spend any more, or cant carry any more.

      1. good shovel
      2. Maxtrax.
      3. Snatch strap, shackles, bridle etc.
      4. Electric winch, winch extension.
      5. Highlift Jack or air bag.

      I might even consider the winch to be more important than the snatch strap, especially if you are travelling solo, snatch straps are a lot cheaper though.

      Cheers Andrew
      Very solid advise there, bugger the high lift jack - i will definately spend my money setting up with this gear first- I will add a pair of rated recovery points to the list as well!!! Off on a daytrip to OL / TJM / ARB I go!!
