We the committee have no qualifications or expertise in 4x4ing, safety & vehicle recovery.
We have found varying opinions of 4x4 clubs & training facilty instructors.
We have decided to offer the following as a GUIDE only.
It is up to the vehicle owner/driver to make sure the vehicles & trailers are safe & registered & in roadworthy condition.
Also that these aftermarket accessories/items be fitted correctly.
You might like to join a 4x4 club and/or obtain some 4x4 driver training.
A/T tyres (LT preferable).
Rated Recovery gear, should be in good condition (including snatch strap, bridle/equalising strap, rated bow shackles)
Air compressor & tyre pressure gauge
Shovel
UHF radio (handheld will be acceptable) please bring spare batteries.
1st aid kit.
Fire extinguisher.
Chainsaw to collect your firewood.
Any additional modifications or recovery accessories (e.g. MaxTrax, winch, lift, lockers, aftermarket recovery points, etc. may be useful but not essential).
Depending on track and weather conditions on the day, the Trip Leader reserves the right to refuse to allow a vehicle to participate if he deems it would be unsafe to the other members of the convoy, or to the vehicle/occupants of that vehicle.
We do not expect to be using recovery gear if conditions are dry.
If conditions are adverse we do need to be prepared.
Please have a look at the track ratings in post #4. we will be commuting on all 4 classifications.
Also be aware, that is the parks dry track ratings.
