I take only the most important things, as too much recovery gear makes me a little too brave...
2 tow straps for when 1 can't reach. A full sized shovel to drain the swamp my neighbor gets stuck in with his stock TJ. And most important of all, my wife an 16month old boy!

Be careful with those cheapo come-along things. I have one and I'd be scared to death using that thing anywhere near the claimed rating. With any kind of load it creaks and groans like its going to come apart at any minute. Take a close look at how well its made. On mine you have to make sure the ratchet mechanism engages with the gear on the cable reel every time for fear of it suddenly disengaging when you're moving the handle to get ready for the next pull. With these, I think you get what you pay for, and if you don't pay much you don't get much.

I wheel a bobbed 82' PU with a carbed 22R so I try to keep the weight down.
Along with all the items mentioned above, I keep a collection of nuts & bolts and other MacGyvering items to rig the rig back together if need be. I bring a water purifier so I don't have to bring an excessive amount of water. Also I always have my Jet Boil packed along with coffee and MRE's. In the winter I keep a propane heater packed.

I usually bring .... comealong...and yes its the cheapo version, and yes...last time I was stuck it failed. Maps and gps are a must( ok so gps is not 100% essential, but maps are) T.p. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go 50' of heavy chain Cell phone, and 2way radio (cell phone has a camera) Food, and water motor oil, gear oil, atf leatherman and I always keep a survival kit in all my vehicles, bandaids, neosporen, gauze, space blanket, waterproof matches, magnesium striker, and a hatchet. Thats it for me, I figure if I have too many tools, I will get cocky, and spend more time fixing my rig on the trail than exploring. O...almost forgot...I always wear comfy waterproof boots, ya never know how far you may have to hike out.

A comalong is important but your high lift can also be used to pull. A couple of shakles and a good tow rope (NO STRETCH IF POSSIBLE) and you ccan get 30-40 inches of STRONG PULL, that thing (a good high lift) can pull 5 ton no prob.
I also like to carry a small soldering style butane lighter, fits in my hand and good to 1800 degrees, some solder and flux (just a little) because elec. tape can't fix everything.

Not a bad idea to have some benedryl when in the woods, especially on those camping/wheelin trips. You never know what may bite, sting you.

So far in my rig:
tool set in blow moulded case multibit screwdriver set rope straps shackles come along (heavy duty) cooler with refreshments muskol afterbite bumperjack 20 ton bottle jack shovel spotlight depending on whether there's a chance I'll get really stuck somewhere far in, camping gear and food for my dogs what's to come? hatchet chainsaw more straps more shackles these are all kept in rubbermade totes and strapped down (especially the idiot makers like the jacks and shovel. Don't need one of those in the back of the head after a sudden stop)

I used to be braver, but now my list has grown for the FJ40...
Sunglasses 1-First Aid ammo box (based on 4Wheeler's Bible) 1-GPS 1-Topo map of area 1-Spot light 2-Mag lights 2-Survival knives 1-Folder knife 1-Machete 1-Hatchet 1-Leatherman 2-Gallons drinking water 2-Gallons non-drinking water 1-Lighter 1-Small box strike anywhere matches 1-30' Strap 1-Come along 1-Fold up shovel/pick 20-bungee cords 1-20' ˟˟˟˟˟ big and heavy chain 2-Big grade 8 bolts with 2 washers to each and nuts for chain 1-40' Nylon rope 4-25 kilonewton caribiners 1-Change of clothes 1-Set gloves 1-Blanket 1-Beanie ------------------------------For More Than One Day------------------------------ 1-Full metric set tool box (used to be a mechanic, so EVERY tool I might need goes on trips that I can fit in my carry around box) 1-Bottle jack 1-36" pry bar 1-24" breaker bar w/ optional cheater bar 2-Qts 20w50 oil 1-Bottle brake fluid 1-Bottle 90-140 gear oil 2-Army surplus Mummy bags 1-Winnebago 30X10 2 room tent 1-Tarp 2-5 gallon jerry cans of fuel 1-5 gallon jerry can of non-drinking water 2-Funnels (1 long, 1 stubby) 1-Extra day of food over planned trip 3-Extra days of water over planned trip 2-Pairs Mechanix gloves 2-M65 jackets 1-Haynes manual 1-4X4 block for chocking tires 1-Pack extra batteries for Mags I know it looks a little excessive, but my uncle got stuck in Death Valley once and had to hike out in the early 80s in July. Still has scars on his lower legs from the eyelets burning through his socks from the heat. Lesson learned: I'd rather be over-prepared than under-prepared. At least you can be the guy that people at camp come to for help because you have EVERYTHING but a welder, which I'm looking into, haha.
