I would avoid any hooks, shackles etc, minimize the amount of metal **** that will be flying very fast if straps break.

If you do go for a proper kinetic recovery strap, decide on what weight you expect to actually using it for.

Honestly tho, a snow shovel, bag of sand and some of these would more realistically helpful.

*Furthermore, look into the legal aspects of helping someone you don't know. This is America 2022, you break anything they sue you for all your worth*
Don't forget insurance subrogation and exclusions. Helping people has become a lose-lose proposition.

Do those traction boards really work?
