One of the things that can come really handy in any situation is a winch. If you travel in groups someone could get stuck somewhere, you could use it to winch away a tree blocking the road and a million other little uses.

The Ramsey REP 8.5E is a winch that will never let you down, and apart from the power, this is the most important factor for me. Durable construction, high grade materials and technical expertise make this part one of the best, but I think the lifetime warranty speaks louder than all the others.

If you need power you won’t be disappointed, you will be able to winch at 8,500 lbs, which is almost four metric tonnes! That is more than enough for most trucks and especially cars. A three stage gear for rope speed, built in brakes for safety and a remote for ease of use (and safety) make this product a bargain, but let us know if you know of any better whiches and we’ll take a look!
