I use a 6 tonne flat strap (not kinetic), with hefty shackles at each end. Go for something nice and long, because if you get stuck, you don't want the recovery vehicle getting stuck as it tries to get to you. Also, for towing, you want a bit of space between you.
I also use a Tirfor which has been invaluable on occasion.
Range Rover Blues:
I quite like the Tirfor but I don't relish the though of getting it sull of S**t which is why I use the hi-lift. That said when we were using it in north Notts (Turtle and I) we neede 2 hi-lifts, one to winch and one to lift the wheels out of the gulley.
laser_jock99:
Steer clear of natural fibre ropes- they can break unexpectedly. I had a 20mm sisal rope fail this week pulling a tree stump. I then fitted a stout length of chain and had no problems.
littlepow:
I use a 20ft ARB recovery strap, as they roll up nice and flat for storage.
It comes with a built in worn / streched marker, so tells you when it's beyound safe use.
