Let's say you wanted to plan your own Ultimate Adventure.
Where would you go? What would you want to see?
A couple rules:
1. 10 days, 5 wheeling days, 5 driving days
2. Primitive camping, except for the night before the first day
3. Everything to camp, repair or eat fits in the jeep or the jeep/offroad trailer
3.5 If you bring a trailer, you don't have to tow it on the offroad park trails, but you have to be able to tow it on the "roads" on road days
4. You can't go where you've already been in the last 5 years, i.e. attica, redbird, harlan
5. Road days have to be less than 350 miles but more than 200 miles.
6. You end close enough to where you started to load back up on the trailer and go home.
7. You can start anywhere you can tow or drive to and has a hotel.
Not necessarily limited to the MWC, but be practical and think about taking time off of work, how far you have to go to get to the starting point, things like that.
Also remember that road days are often not interstate days, but mini wheeling days on back roads from one wheeling adventure to another.
So where would you go?
), good tire patch/plug kit and spoons, full size spare, a good jack beyond a highlift (thinking low profile light weight floor jack), fluids, coolants, a good heavy plastic tarp, tape n ties, rod ends, and misc electrical connectors/tester. I would not go balls out and say welder etc. Most those parks have access to a welder or can get a hold of someone that has that ability. No need to carry that much extra weight. Throw in some good recovery gear, a "day" cooler. No need for a bid super fancy or 5 day type or Yeti (unless you already have one) bc you will be in civilization daily and can restock with ice as needed. I would say that having a CB or FRS and a good cell phone would have you in contact with the outside world and maybe a GPS unit is available just for back up. Beyond the basics, clothes and a passenger and a "go for a good time" attitude and I would say you are set. It actually has me wanting to go wheeling when thinking about a trip of that magnitude. I have lost the wheeling itch for some time, but this sounds like fun.
