Travelling off highway in your vehicle is great fun and can take you to great places. Make sure you are prepared with a few essential pieces of equipment, and the knowledge on how to use them. Remember to adjust your gear depending on the season and how remote your journey takes you. Note that not all vehicle recovery companies will leave the highway to come and get you on a forest service road or deactivated road if you encounter problems. Some suggestions: a map, compass, communication device, bear spray / bangers, tire jack, tire repair kit, full size spare tire, spare engine belt, spare fuel, spill kit, tool kit, owner’s manual, first aid kit, shovel, water, snow brush, gloves, saw, recovery strap & shackles, cones, blanket, spare clothing appropriate to the season, snacks, grab bag, good footwear. Go prepared. Be safe. Have fun. #tripplan #train #takeessentials #getinformed #gooutdoors #respectyourself #respectothers#respectthemountain #BCSAR #beprepared#knowbeforeyougo #reduceincidents #avalancheawareness #coastsmart #surviveoutside #hugatree#paddlesmart #snowsafety #SARprevention #bcadventuresmart @bcadvsmart #4x4 #offroad #awd #4wd #driving#drivertraining #overlandingbc @Overlanding BC (at Whistler, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDACaQTHj3E/?igshid=1pbmkzljojss6
