Who's Going?

I'll be there, whether I get my vacation pics or I use my sick-cation. Not sure about the wifey yet, she works for a crazy bipolar doctor now. Of course what would be really cool is if someone donated a bunch of money to me so I can finish my 44/60 axles and not need as much assistance rubbing through the hard trails. I should probably work on my overheating issue too.
 
I'll be there with some other jeepers that weekend...camping if I can. frankly I'll probably toss a popup on the back of the truck for the trip.

edit: due to the high quantity of "rules and requirements" I will likely be running with my own group, and abiding by the rules of the badlands campgrounds...not that I cannot meet the requirements, but I do have a couple guys who can't spend extra money on some stuff...which is why I carry enough gear for me, plus more.

Keep in mind that the small amount of stuff that's required for a NAXJA run is stuff that just makes good wheeling sense.

We've all been behind a group of people who didn't have recovery gear or recovery points on a trail run waiting. It certainly doesn't cost a lot of money to do it the right way. They should look into spending 50 bucks on that gear instead of 2 cases of beer they're going to have sometime between now and march.

everyone I wheel with has tow points, safe vehicles, properly mounted batteries, and no one uses chains for recovery.


of the 3 people I know that would probably come with, I have enough recovery gear to take care of them in most any situation. I carry two fire extinguishers as well as a hilift and a floor jack I'm building that uses a pneumatic/manual 8 ton ram, so we're covered. by then I should even have my on board air.

basically, I see no need for them to spend their money on any of these things when I have them covered already.

So....sounds like all they need are extinguishers and first aid kits??

Or am I missing something?

as well as jacks and recovery gear...they have tow points already.

I'm just pointing out that some items are more than covered by other people.
 
You are free to do what you want, but it would be worth the money to get them set up with the required gear. It is equipment that is good to have anyway. I carry a first aid kit in all 3 of my vehicles, and plan to add a fire extinguisher to my truck ASAP.
 
Do they have stock jacks?

The required jack needs to be able to get the tire off the ground on a flat surface.

So....looks like they need a strap each.

Hey....it is a public park, BUT we would much rather have you run with us.

Give it some thought....not trying to piss in your Cheerios.

you guys keep mentioning first aid kits. what do those have in them? both my parents are docs so i usually have compression pads, bandaids, suture kit, the little things you break open to wake you up, gauze, tape, pain meds, this universal splint thing. i could probably have them give me enough stuff to perform open heart surgery if i needed to lol.

what else is there though? fire blanket?
 
Basic first aid stuff.

Nothing fancy. Sounds like you got it covered.

Just for comparisson mine contains:
Band aids
gauze
sanitary napkins (they are real good for heavy bleeding)
cleaning wipes
tweezers
Benedryl (think bee stings)
Tape
antibacterial gel
gloves
CPR Mask
Pencil and paper.

8 bucks for the kit at walmart. It has everything you would need!
 
seems like i almost have everything covered, ill work on just getting some other small stuff that i dont have yet.

i dunno if i would wanna risk getting a cheapo wallymart kit, id rather have premium medical grade stuff. thanks for the input though!
 
Meh. I got a Johnson & Johnson first aid kit at Walmart for ~$10. Contains all brand name sealed stuff; Tylenol, Band-Aid, etc. And it comes in a plastic carrying case with a latch. Can't go wrong.

Yeah its not a bad kit.
 
the pain killers in it are usually Tylenol or Advil...which reminds me that I need to restock all my First Aid kits b/c I have robbed the pain medicine out of most of them due to prior years WF hang overs :D
