Personal - "Bring List"
Personal Items to Take Along on Four-Wheeling Trips
(These are not just for the trip you intend to take, expecting to be back off the trail at four in the afternoon, but the trip you didn’t intend, like the one which gets you back at midnight or even three PM, the NEXT afternoon!)
1. Water: 2.5 Gallons of water per vehicle for a 1 day trip. 2.5 Gallons of water per person for each day of an overnight trip.
2. Toilet Supplies: Potty shovel or port-a-potty & biodegradable toilet paper.
3. First-Aid kit: Fully stocked - not just a tiny personal kit, but a significant one. Also, a book on first-aid.
4. Sun block & chap stick. Remember to use them!
5. Sunglasses & hat: A hat with a full brim will provide much better shade than a baseball cap.
6. Food, Snacks & drinks for short trips. Real food & drinks for longer trips. Bring more than you expect to need.
7. Matches & something flammable to help start a fire.
8. Pocket knife or “multi-function” tool for use for a million and one things you don’t expect.
9. Flashlight with extra batteries: Not only for after dark, but to be able to light up dark areas under the vehicle or in the engine bay.
10. Jacket and other clothing: Even if it’s warm out, weather can change and night always follows the day. Clothes can also get wet and must be changed. Include a RAIN PONCHO
11. Miscellaneous: camera, camcorder, binoculars & other items of amusement.
12. Water: 2.5 Gallons of water per vehicle for a 1 day trip. 2.5 Gallons of water per person for each day of an overnight trip. Yes, water is listed first and last. It's very important.
