Don’t get stuck in the mud. Learn to evaluate road hazards, overcome obstacles, and navigate the unpaved passages between your front door and your next adventure.
ASSESS CAR AND ROAD >> Know your vehicle.
Drive in a range of conditions so you’re familiar with your car’s capabilities. Measure the clearance (most standard vehicles have five to six inches) between the ground and the lowest point on the undercarriage. An experienced driver in a four-wheel-drive (4WD) can expect to tackle boulders and uneven surfaces. An all-wheel-drive (AWD) can maneuver over smaller rocks (within a few inches of its clearance height). Two-wheel drives should stick to maintained dirt or gravel. >> Scout road conditions.
Call rangers and ask about seasonal challenges like thick mud or stream crossings, specific hazards or impasse zones, and possible turnaround points.

Pretty good piece, as far as it goes. There is A LOT more to back country driving than one can read in a single trip to the can, however. Cross rivers angled WITH the current, BTW.

Hi, meanolddog!
I've been impressed with your list and would like to learn how exactly you use each of that items, what situations, etc...
Could you teach me?
Thank you very much!

Don't see jumper cables on your list! Have seen more than a few cars parked at lonely trailheads with interior dome lights, parking lights etc. discharging the battery - easier to get a jump from someone parked nearby than pay big bucks for AAA rescue!

30 years of off Roading and driving on down old logging roads in the Sierra's and the California Deserts taught me a lot, along with a lot of cross country hiking.
A.
#1. Carry at least two gallons of Water in separate sturdy containers do not put all your water in one container or leave in those flimsy store containers which are design to rot, per person in the vehicle.
#2. Carry extra personal Medications
#3. Carry an extensive First Aid Kit and know how to use it, with more than one Heat and 3 Cold compressess. Water Purification Tablets or a Pump
#4. Sleeping Bag
#5. Rain suit, comes in handy when it's cold out
#6. I carry MRE's and NO Dehydrated foods at all.
#7. Two wool Blankets
#8. Topographic Maps, not general area maps with little detail, detail is what you want.
B. in a plastic storage box carry
#1. 4 ton Come along, costs about $40.
#2. Knitted Nylon tow STRAP forget those yellow ropes every one I had snapped real easy.
#3. A real G.I. Folding Shovel
#4. A multi-use Battery, Air Compressor, Battery Charger Unit and charge it before you leave home.
#5. Tire Jack and spare Stand and Lug Wrench.
#6. Tire sealant

#8. Heavy duty canvas or plastic tarp 12x12
#9. 100 ft. of real 550 Parachute Cord

Thats enough until you become more experienced. Seems like a lot but I have used every item in both lists at one time or another, especially that come along.

The last advice to drive over two rocks may work if you're driving a Segway or over some long rocks, but otherwise you'll get hung up front to back while trying to avoid a side to side hang up.
