I haul mostly equipment and well head testing stuff. I started with [8] 3/8 20' chains and 16 ratchet binders. After dragging those stinkin' chains around and having to deal with all the extra, I cut 4 of them in half and it makes it alot easier.
So that's:
[8] 10' 3/8 chains with a hook on one end
(4) 20' 3/8 chains with a hook on both ends
(16) 3/8-1/2 ratchet binders
(6) 3" ratchet binders
