Tried out a Kinetic rope the other day and I must say I was VERY impressed.
In case you don't know what I am on about see here:

It seemed far easier and less stressfull on the vehicles to use the kinetic rope to recover - no snatching and stopping of the vehicles like you get with a normal rope or strop - just a more gentle tugging motion for both vehicles. And how about this for an example of the ropes ability - my two mates Range Rover conked out in a mud pit and they managed to pull it out manually by themselves just using a repeated tugging motion on the kinetic rope.
I am deffo going to get one for my next off road trip.
As with anything like this, make sure you read up and follow saftey advice, there is a good page here for starters:
