    O Towel (in Ziploc) - Alcohol (in small bottle)

    your local Red Cross and sign up for a class, the life you save

    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.

    Re: trail rig list

    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.

    I have a Jeep or two
