Researching what type of trail that you will be encountering will be an important part of your preparation. Once you know what type of trail you will be embarking on, you will be able to make an educated decision concerning your vehicle.

Off Road Recovery Gear List
Once your location and vehicle have been decided on, you will want to make sure that you pack some important tools in your vehicle. Even the most experienced off-roaders can find themselves stuck during their off-roading adventures. Make sure that you pack the following tools:
• Shovel: A shovel is the single most useful tool that you can pack for your off-roading adventures. When your tires are stuck, your hands and back will be grateful that you packed a shovel to help scoop out whatever your tires are stuck in.
• Carpet, Cardboard, Wood: After you have removed the sand, snow, or mud away from your tire, stuff a strip of carpet or cardboard in front of it. To prevent yours tires from spinning, you will want to put some sticks, branches, or plywood under your tire to provide traction. Slowly press down on the gas and allow your tire to get some traction.
• Jack: Your vehicle will come equipped with a standard car jack. You may want to consider purchasing a hi-lift jack as well. A jack can be used to life a stuck tire so that you can stick carpet, cardboard, or wood underneath it.
• Tow Strap: A tow strap may be needed to help get your vehicle out of a precarious situation. You will want to make sure that your tow strap is rated at 17,500 pounds. Caution should be exercised when using tow straps to pull vehicles out. If the strap breaks, it can be dangerous.
• Snow Chains: If you are planning your trip in a location where there will be snow, you will want to pack snow chains. Make sure that you put your chains on before you get into trouble!
