Didn't realize you are in Norway. I'm not sure what grades/standards you have, but these are the specs in the USA.
3/8" Grade 70 Transit Chain
WLL (Working Load Limit) 6,600 lbs.
MBS (Minimum Breaking Strength) x4 WLL 26,600 lbs.
I've gone up Rt. 3 to Rt. 2, did some of Rt. 5 Sec 2, then down Rt. 5 Sec 1. It was Spring and many trees were down. Some we cut to continue forward, other times we just turned around. Try to find the trail conditions before heading out. It's a really fun trip!
Tow straps have 0-3% stretch
Recovery straps have 10-15% stretch
KERR (Kinetic Energy Recovery Rope) has 25-30% stretch

The most "technical" parts are ruts from the rain. Sometimes they go straight down the middle of the road, other times they cross at different angles. It's nothing hairy, just go slow and pick your line. Air down and bring something (CO2 or compressor) to fill your tires at the end. Keep your...
Nice @DuncNasty08! I just finished packing as well. Got the roof rack loaded last night, and interior tonight. I forgot Quake's dog bed at work, so I need to stop there on my way to meet you. It's 3 exits before the Safeway and will only take a couple minutes. HAM will be on and monitored for you.
