The Deadman Stretchy Band
The Deadman Stretchy Band™ kinetic recovery rope is an essential tool in your recovery arsenal for vehicle-to-vehicle recovery. Unlike a tow strap or the Deadman Earth Anchor which uses static fibers (non-stretch), the Stretchy Band is designed with fibers that stretch up to 30% under load, absorbing shock loads and acting like a rubber band to give a little extra yank to the stuck vehicle. This is great for vehicle-to-vehicle recoveries where one vehicle is stuck, but this stretchy property makes it a bad choice for towing (we advise you do not).
When deciding which Stretchy Band is best for you, try to match or exceed your vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This will ensure you’re using a Stretchy Band strong enough to handle your vehicle when it’s in a tight spot. However, if you regularly play with friends a little bigger than you, consider sizing up so you can safely yank them free as well!
Manufactured and tested at an ISO 9001:2008 certified facility in Houston, Texas, with U.S. sourced Cortland Double Braided nylon.
After the recovery, clean up the evidence with the Deadman Bodybag. Designed specially to hold the Deadman Earth Anchor, the bag is large enough to carry your soft shackles, and some gloves, pretty much everything you need for a straight forward self-recovery. Strap it to your roll bars or throw it in the back of your rig & go! Made from industrial grade PVC vinyl. Also there is a velcro patch for you to rep your favorite brands!

Please Note:
➜ DO NOT TOW with the Deadman Stretchy Band kinetic rope.
➜ Requires a minimum of two shackles to work. We DO NOT recommend using metal bow shackles–if they break in a kinetic recovery, the pieces will become projectiles. Instead, we recommend using soft shackles in most cases.
