No one is ever left behind.  If someone breaks on the trail, we will either get you fixed, or someone will stay with you until help arrives.  

​

Stay within sight of the vehicle in front of, and behind you at all times, whenever possible.  Try not to follow too closely.  

​

Have some form of communications with you.  Common radios are VHF/UHF, GMRS handheld or car mounted radios, cell phones, etc.  Many of us use FRS, GMRS, MURS and commercial UHF channels.

​

Ask for a spotter if you are unsure about an obstacle.  Most of us have to drive our Jeeps daily so we cannot afford to destroy them.

​

First aid kit, fire extinguisher.

​

Tools, tow strap(s), gloves, flashlight, recovery equipment. 

​

Winch preferred but not required.  We all have winches and can bail you out if required. 

​

Heavy blanket for winch lines.  (Also works well to lay on for trail repairs right Larry?)

​

Pack some grub appropriately for the length of the trip.  Then pack a bit more just in case.

​

Any driver observed operating his/her vehicle while obviously impaired for whatever reason will be asked to park and wait until they are capable of driving without endangering themselves or others.  

​

Maps, nav or a damn good idea about where you are.  Most nav systems are not much use off road.  Our members use Leadnav, Lowrance, Magellan TRX, etc.
