Hi-Lift recovery kit

[deftrip]

So I'll be getting a jack soon and was wondering what you guys carry with you for recovery. I know that Hi-Lift sells a kit but was interested if there was a more economical "homebrew" way of creating a kit myself. What should it include, what length of chains etc. Also what other tools have you found that you would include that you feel would be necessary. Or would I just be better of getting the kit that Hi-Lift offers. Thanks.
