Traction mats, a plastic snow showel for the fluffy snow, a metal tri-fold shovel for harder stuff, an elastic towing rope for towing, a heavy-duty inelastic tow strap for that gentle "tug" that can get you unstuck.

I have very limited room between the wheel and the bodywork. I want to find a chain that I'm confident I can put on without growing smaller fingers - and still be effective. I have very good snow tires on a car that handles really well in the winter, so when I need chains I really need GOOD chains that really digs into snow and ice.
