Stuff to Bring
O
(all items have fresh batteries and I carry at least one extra
set for any item)
1 gallon fresh water (Minute Maid orange juice jugs work
well for this)
- Ipecac (to induce vomiting)
Waterproof Jacket (Gore Tex or similar, appropriate for the
season)
- Selection of Band Aids
- Tweezers
- Scissors
- Splint (tongue depressors work well for fingers, rolled up
newspaper works great for arms/legs)
- Cold pack
- Face shield or mask (for rescue breathing)
- First aid manual (you really should know this stuff, contact
your local Red Cross and sign up for a class, the life you save
may be your own!)
- Tourniquet
- Sterile Latex/Nitrile gloves
- Sturdy case for kit
- Calamine lotion
- Antibacterial hand cleaner
- Hydrocortisone cream
- Antibacterial ointment (Neosporin or similar)
- Any personal medications you may need, blood pressure,
asthma inhaler, insulin, etc.
We've all done it, forgotten something important when we leave for a wheelin trip. Even a day trip can quickly turn into a stressful and
even dangerous situation if you don't have the proper equipment at hand. This is a suggestion of the things to carry, and is a compilation
of experience and suggestions from others. I don't carry every single one of these items, it is up to you to carry what is essential for the
type of wheeling that you do, and the group that you travel with. This list is constantly changing and being updated.

It maybe a litlle much but its a good idea list
to carry all that stuff i would have to wheel with a trailer behind both jeeps
must be a Early Bronco thing
Your list is missing something...the trail rig

Forgot the spare engine, tranny and transfer case.
Seriously it is a very complete list and gives us something to review. Everyone should carry enough stuff within there means. Not everyone is going to know how to replace front axle shafts or ball joints on the trail. I tend to carry less than I use to. Too much weight and have yet to use it. Now I made up a storage box that can go from trailer to trailer. I keep alot of those parts there. Generally the trailer is only miles away from the trail.
NIce list, Thank You. I will have to go through it and see what I am missing and what I think I may need. David A.
I know it's a little long , but it will give you an idea list . We all take things out of the trucks over the winter and forget to put it back .
