When is a super stretch kinetic pull rope called for instead of a normal yellow strap for getting someone unstuck?

Thanks,

John,

I personally carry a 30 foot long 33,500 lb master pull super yanker in my truck for all non-winch pulling or recovery. It seems to be a little more gentle on the truck when used. However, for straight pulling, winching or towing, I would say the yellow straps are the best bet.

Everyone will have an opinion, but I think you couldn't go wrong if you carry one kinetic rope and a couple of yellow straps.

Just my opinion and 2 cents though.
