There's a whole other pile of things that's nice to have: de-icers, chemical heat packs, T4RAWR's number; one thing I've found really useful to have though is a breaker bar. Those wrenches that come with the spare and jack can be absolutely worthless against a seized or frozen bolt.

Its also handy to keep some sand/salt mix. I usually do 50/50 sand salt. When there's a patch of ice and you dont have chains putting down a streak of salt/sand infront of the drive tires helps.
Alternatively you could call me as others have suggested lol
Also with regards to tow straps. You should get recovery/snatch straps and make sure its rated for 3 times the weight of your vehicle. The recovery strap I carry is rated at 13,000lbs of pull. Also get shackles as the hooks on tow straps can break off and become projectiles.
