I was just wondering what you call the tow straps used in off-road recovery? They're called recovery straps here.

Someone I know is asking someone there to buy one for him. However, the person buying might have zero knowledge on cars let alone off-road equipment.

So where does one go to buy this in the U.S.?
What do you say to the person at the counter?
Any tips (length, type, etc.)?

Does it include those metal D-shackles at the end?

Thanks!
