    Don't forget a winch bar, hard hat, safety glasses, fluorescent vest, and a few sets of gloves.

    Amazed at all these guys lately hollering on the CB trying to sell flat bed equipment. Last three nights, and the guy in Breezewood last night had everything you needed. Binders and chains went fast.
