Lots of snow...lets talk recovery.

Easy way to hook two straps is to put something(1" diameter wooden dowel) in between the when you loop them together. It keeps them from knotting on you. There are pics of this all over the place. Good thing to carry if you have multiple straps. Also remember when you tie a strap you lose strength, the amount you lose with certain knots may shock you.

So it seems like a lot of us have had a tremendous amount of snow.
Let's talk about recovery.
I myself am a noob to the Jeep (only been driving Sahara Unlimited since Dec.) With the Jeep completely stock and my inexperience I wouldn't even know how to help someone out.
I know I have the two hooks in the front bumper, and the one on the driver side rear. What sort of straps would i need to use with these hooks? What do you suggest i buy? How would you hook them up, etc?
Where would you recommend hooking to someones car? I know my Honda had some hooks on the underside, but i would guess most cars do not have hooks.
What are your experiences recovering people in the snow?

The only time I really ran into an issue with that was recently a pair of chinese dudes in flushing were stuck in an infinity fx truck. I had no where to hook up so as far as i was concerned i was gone. But this kid was persistant, and wanted me to push him I told him no way that i would ruin his bumper and tail light and possibily scuff up my own. End result he had probably 2500 in damage I had a minor dimple in my already beat stock bumper and he gave me 300 for it. He was just so desperate to get home he didn't care. lol.
Bottom line hook up to a recovery point and you will not have a problem. You can even make a good amount of money out there in NYC. Good luck and congrats on your Jeep.
