Dune Goons • Rescue Mission
Stuck Happens. Be Ready.
Premium American-made recovery gear curated by riders who actually use this stuff in the dunes, on the trail, and in the rocks. No off-shore knockoffs. No flimsy hardware. Just the gear that gets you and your buddies home.
The Dune Goons Rescue Mission is our way of saying recovery gear is too important to mess around with. Every product here comes from a brand we trust with our own rigs: Freedom Ropes, Bubba Rope, Warn, KFI, Factor 55, and Open Trail. We've personally pulled buddies out of bowls in Glamis, sand drifts in Dumont, and washes outside Bend with this gear. If we wouldn't run it ourselves, it's not in this collection.

Which Recovery Tool Do You Need?
The biggest mistake new buyers make is grabbing the wrong tool for the recovery they're trying to do. Here's the cheat sheet.
Kinetic / Snatch
Kinetic Recovery Rope
A dynamic rope that stretches up to 33% under load, storing energy and yanking a stuck vehicle free with a smooth pull. Use it when the stuck rig is buried in sand, mud, or snow. Not a tow strap.
Shop kinetic ropes →Vehicle Towing
Tow Strap
A static strap (no stretch) for towing a disabled vehicle behind another. Strong, but not designed for snatch recovery — using a tow strap to snatch a stuck vehicle can break it dangerously.
Shop tow straps →Winching
Synthetic Winch Line
Replaces the steel cable on your winch drum. A major safety upgrade — synthetic line won't whip if it breaks under load, it just drops to the ground. Steel cable recoil has killed people.
Shop winch lines →Connection Points
Soft Shackles
Synthetic loops that replace steel D-rings. Stronger pound-for-pound, lighter, they float in water, and they won't damage winch hooks or painted bumpers if they whip around in a recovery.
Shop soft shackles →Tree Anchoring
Tree Saver Strap
When you winch off a tree, this wide nylon strap keeps your line from girdling the bark. Required gear on Forest Service and BLM land, and good etiquette anywhere.
Shop tree savers →Hitch Recovery
Receiver Shackle
Slides into your 2" hitch receiver for a proper recovery attachment point. Never pull recovery off your hitch ball — it isn't designed for snatch loads and can break with serious consequences.
