# Yankum Ropes
> Yankum Ropes manufactures premium kinetic energy recovery ropes and off-road recovery gear entirely in the USA, using only the highest-quality materials to provide safe, reliable, and vehicle-friendly vehicle recovery solutions for Jeeps, trucks, SxS, ATVs, and tractors.
Yankum Ropes is an American-made brand specializing in kinetic recovery ropes and off-road recovery accessories. Unlike traditional tow straps, Yankum's kinetic ropes absorb and release energy to pull stuck vehicles free with less shock and less damage to both vehicles. All products are manufactured in the United States and designed for real-world off-road recovery situations — from weekend wheelers to military and government fleet operations.
Products are sold direct-to-consumer via this Shopify store. The product lineup covers the full recovery chain: kinetic ropes, winch lines, soft and metal shackles, tree straps, tow straps, and complete recovery kits. The brand has an established affiliate program, commercial wholesale accounts, and special discount programs for military personnel and first responders.
