What's in your recovery bag?

[TangoBlue]

Question: once you've mucked up your strap, rope, wire, hardware, what is your process/procedure for cleaning, inspecting and storing? Particularly interested in the cleaning of mucked up straps and synth ropes. Much appreciated.

Synthetic straps and rope: Dish-washing soap and water; stretch it out on the ground, not under load, and hose it down to removed debris from the inner fibers. Allow to air dry. Store.
Steel rope: Dish-washing soap and water; stretch it out on the ground, not under load, and hose it down to removed debris from the inner strands/wraps. You may need to hit some spots with accumulated grease or oil with WD-40 or similar water and oil displacing/dissolving material. Allow to dry. Apply a light coating of a dry lubricant and store.
Hardware: Any cleaning agent and brush. Apply a light coating of a dry lubricant and store for metal hardware.

not exactly, I carry 2 spansets (common in theatrical rigging) they can be used the same way. Looking at the photos, the lanyard appears to be a similar polyester jacket to the spanset just without the inner strands.

What I carry depends on where I’m going and with whom.
at a minimum I carry a first aid kit geared for auto accidents, a 30’ kinetic recovery strap, a couple of shackles, gloves, a few basic tools and of course a 226.

From there we can add water, food, InReach, compressor, tire kit, etc., etc.
