My Towing & Recovery Kit – 06/19/2023

In this video, I show what I carry in my towing kit that I made myself. I show the most imperative part of it which is my hitch receiver shackle mounts. I do mention why they are important to have; especially because pulling by a ball hitch is dangerous & can be DEADLY! That is what caused the death of Ryan Woods; please see ink below.

First, here is a link to the story of Ryan Wood’s death when he was killed by a ball hitch:
