My Gear List For Off Roading


Just as it is highly unlikely that two people will drive vehicles in the exact same configuration, it is even more unlikely that two vehicles will contain the exact same set of gear (ie equipment, tools, supplies, etc.).

Here is my list of gear for off roading. This doesn’t cover additional items I would bring for overnight trips.

Please note that this list is continually evolving and will be updated periodically.
