Top 5 Items to Bring on Any "Trail-Trip" While Keeping the Price Down

When your out in the sticks, you never know what can happen. Flat tire? Stuck? Drained battery? Warm Drinks? Of course, any of these could happen, and its essential to be prepared for these problems before any adventure. Here is my top five essential items while keeping costs low.

1. Winch

Eventually, you will get stuck. If you prefer to wheel solo, you will definitely want a winch. Attach this to any land anchor (tree, boulders, etc.) and wind your way out.








2. Jumper Cables

Dead battery out in the woods? Guaranteed AAA won't try to find you out on the trail. Get another truck and pump life back into your truck. Unfortunately, for these to work, you need another vehicle.





3. HI-Lift Jack

These can be used for multiple purposes, anywhere from changing a tire to giving your winch that extra assist. These are somewhat cheap, and come in very handy on trail.











4. Tool Kit

Toolkits can range in size and tool variation, but anything is better than nothing. Simple allen wrenches, screw drivers, ratchets, can all get you out of very sticky situations. A simple toolkit is easily stored and can most likely fit under the seat.









5. Cooler

This may seem odd, but who doesn't love a cold drink while on the trail exploring? Not only do they keep drinks cold, they also keep food edible. Maybe this isn't a "must-have" but more for comfort.
