Have everyone put there input of what is needed, not needed, what you may need. What you should do incase of such and such. Whats the proper way to do this or that. When alot of info is compiled, organize it and set it up as a referece guide.

Good idea. Where should we start posting though?

I was thinking in its own forum.

Heres a good one, when your out wheeling and you see a burnt up or bashed up truck in the woods, do something about it besides flipping it over, running it over or anything stupid like that. Clean up after yourselves and other not so bright people as well.

I think it would be a good Idea. When I was just getting into off road, I read everything I could about what to bring :cheers:

jopes had a nice list i printed it so if someone else doesn't post anything ill do the list later

Tow Hooks / Tow Straps.
Heavy Blanket to throw on Strap or Winch Cable so that if it breaks it will wrap around itsself and not come flying at your truck or at someone.
Flashlight
Fire Extinguisher
BF Hammer
Some kind of Jack

Here is one list. :)

^^^ that's a pretty good one ;)

Thats a really good list. But would'nt be easier to just invite that guy along with ya instead of trying to pack all that stuff?????

jopes had a nice list i printed it so if someone else doesn't post anything ill do the list later

Post it now. It will save some extra postings.

Two things that I think are the most important, that I carry all the time whether off road or on road, are a first aid kit and fire extinguisher.

Damn I missed it the first time then :flipoff:

If you've ever wheeled with Joe you'd know that even with all that, he still doesn't have everything. How about some C-Clip pliers Joe. Oh yeah, and a trailer to haul that stuff with you. That's why there's no room for a passenger. That dam drive shaft rides up front with the axel's. :cheers:

:stupid: Sorry Joe, that was me that posted that post as the guest. I thought I was already logged in.

The most importand item is the BFH. Not only can it "fix" ****led fenders and other truck parts, but in a total disaster can be used as an anger management tool to smash the :evil: s**t :twisted: out of things when you realize you could have avoided the problem in the first place.
:2guns:

a sleeping bag and some tarps (maybe even a small tent tucked away somewhere) water purifier, nylon cord, snack food

unfortunately sometimes ya just gotta spend the night .. whether ya like it or not. If you are mountain wheeling/backcountry there's a good chance you might not be able to make a climb or crossing if it decides to rain heavily for a coupla hrs...little flash flood and runoff..have to wait a few hours/overnight till it clears/drys a little...without a top on, that can suck hard

Never done anything like that. I am way to smart to do something so stupid to myself like chewing or smoking.

I will probably be dead by time I am 50 or 60 anyways

I smoked, drank and did drugs and I LOVED IT! Until I started to cough up blood, bloody nose out of nowhere, got caught stealing money, was almost shot by a crack head, got cheated too many times by pharmacists, coughed for at least 30 minutes before I fell asleep and when I woke up I couldn't breath, started to get painful muscle spazims. And the worse! My stomach couldn't stand one lil shot of brandy without having to throw up!

I'll still have a few beers here and there. Killed too many brain cells, if take one more hit off a joint I'll probably be a vegetable. Acid flashbacks still haunt me. The only thing I really miss is the smoking. That was the one joy in my life aside from the aches, coughing and chest pains. I wish I could smoke and have nothing happen to me.

I certainly don't want to tell anyone how to live their lives, I just wanna share what I've been thru. I just woke up one day and decided that I want to actually enjoy what's left of my life being healthy.

he works in a hospital and sees all kinds of stuff


yeah it's only a hopsital.... :cool:

he works in a hospital and sees all kinds of stuff

yeah, just a regular lil ol hospital. If it weren't for the ER, I would have called it a clinic ;)

That pic was bad enough Jon, I feel like im gonna ralf so bad right about now I cant get that f'in image out of my head.

That and my grandmother dieing about 3 weeks ago help me stay away from tobaccy as much as feasible! Still gotta have a victory cigar when we do some droppin(ok killin)

hope you mean when your hunting :shocked:

I loved tobaccy! If it weren't for all the aches pains and coughing I'd still be smoking. If I smoke anything right now I know I'd start up again. Smoking was the hardest thing I've ever had to quit

Ya thats what I ment, using an elephant gun to kill an ant or 2 :cheers:

I forget which country it was, maybe Germany, but it's illegal to kill ants

Don't forget the hi-lift jack!

I also can't go without a Gerber camp axe.

Don't forget the hi-lift jack!

I just want to forget that image!! AHH

BTW that was about as random as lightning out of the blue, even when it was on topic, the original one.


I forget which country it was, maybe Germany, but it's illegal to kill ants Glad I can kill em here they are everywhere in the tent, pagoda. Its illegal on this island to kill anything but rats and cats. All the cats are gone now, they brought them in to kill the rats but it didnt work!

now ya know I was gonna post this didn't ya?? :doh:

Take along a tire repair kit...inside patches, repair plugs, extra valve stems, valve cores, rubber cement, and the tools to pop a bead.
Some method of airing up a tire.

I like to add a second spare when I can... :roll:

OK.......... I have read some of these lists and links, and man I hope there are some stretch Bronco limosines with big deisel Catipillar motors in them to hual around all this crap. Now, I am not saying that all the items listed are bad, but some things have double duty.

i.e. Somewhere someone wrote potholders in there *kitchen Supplies section* (wont even go into why you would bring a kitchen) and then they wrote Pleirs down in there tool kit, umm color me stupid but a pair of pleirs IS a pot holder, in a pinch so is a damn stick.

I try to carry a good list of stuff 99% of the time, everyday. M.R.E.'s (Meals Ready to Eat) Axe, Shovel, Sledgehammer, Ok. But some things you can downsive, like Japanese cars and sexual organs (Smaller and Quicker) I want enuff stuff to survive but still have some cargo room for perishable items like beer and wimmen. I want to feel confident that if I am driving down the road and I make a right turn were there is no road that I will be ok.

People listed big serving spoons, spatula's, all kinds of stuff.

Hunting Supplies?? Ok, if you are going hunting, not and you think you might need to kill for food to survive, .357 magnum works fine.

I would like to see, a real world list. Something that takes into account weight, and space. And I do relaize that for some people some things are more important then others. But just like on the Cheesey Survivor show, you only gets a few luxury Items.

:mrgreen: Hope I didn't drag you all back to the topic

I know it's on Brian's list but just wanna make sure it's up here
[list]
Fire lighting

Calcium carbide
Lighter
Magnesium kit
Steel wool (#0000)
and 9-volt
Waterproof matches
(film canister)
[/list:u]

These lists cover almost everything but I havn't seen the chain saw mentioned. Helps clear deadfall in the trail and could help build a serious survival fire!

as well as a log cabin if you are stuck WAAAAY out in the backcountry ;)

I'd have to agree with a lot of these guys that there isn't enough room for all of this nonsense.

For those of us with 86's and older should probably bring along some starting spray.

It'd also probably be a good idea if you're going with one vehicle to bring a mountain bike and a backpack. Unless you're really that deep in, it's a quick and easy way to get out to a main road and hopefully find a store.

Also flares or a flare gun, you never know who else is around.

Some kind of protection, you never know who else is around.

A Jumper Kit, basically a spare battery fully charged. Good if you're by yourself, or cables won't reach.

And just to state the obvious, because it haven't seen it, extra gas.

It's a good idea to have a map, or some kind of aerial photo of the area too.

One addition I'd have to these extreme lists is a device for lifting a truck out of water. I'm not sure what it is, but I know fire departments have them. Kinda like a self inflating raft, and has more than enough power to lift a bronco. Only saying this cuz I recently had an experience where it would have helped a lot. Hi-lift was pushing burrowing into sand instead of lifting, and even the damn tow truck was getting pulled in too. The only way we could have lifted it out would have destroyed the entire top of the truck.

a third and a fourth is always nice in your case.

I'd have to agree with a lot of these guys that there isn't enough room for all of this nonsense.





You may think it is nonsense stuff. but I know my list is very tight. I carry it all because I know I might need it. when I am on a trail 30 miles from the closest house I wanna know I can fix what I break. Not have to wait 2 days for a friend to go get parts while I stare at it jerking off all night.

So bring a woman......... if you get stuck she can push too.

On a more seroius note, I think, duration of the trip, terrian, and time of year ie climate make a difference in what you bring.
