Strap 100% of the time. Chains are way to easy to break and cause serious damage to vehicles and people. I have a smaller 10,000 strap for small work, and a 30,000 Pro Comp strap for larger jobs.

Strap. They don''t cause damage to trees when you have to wrap around them. And they don''t cause damage to people or vehicles as much when they break.

Straps definitly. A good snap strap acts kinda like a rubber band, allowing a good jerk, absorbing some of the impact and then using that elastic energy to aid in the recovery. Way better and safer than chains. Easier and lighter to carry too.

Preferred method....Strap. If I''''m stuck, I''''ll even go for a garden hose if available..I''''ll try anything! (If I don''t have a strap)
