Snake foods/pb&j, as many tools as you can take with you. going off the tools make shore you have stuff for working on your suspension and brakes. Always bring fluid for everything because you never know what will happon. If you are staying over at the place then well you know what you will have to take.

I figured straps and winch and tools ,but is there anything else needed? What would I need snake food for? I live in Ohio. Not many of those out here. Should I take extra clothing ? Im sure Im not thinking of something.

Extra water and food are always good. A first aid kit is nice is a NEED! things happen its nice to have the kit to repair yourself if the need arises. Recovery straps, Tolit Paper, tools, fluids. Just to name a few

he didnt mean snake food, he meant snack food! take some blankets its cold in Ohio, right? a knife, extra fuel, make sure your spare is fully inflated. if your jeep is lifted then the stock jack is worthless and you'll need a high lift or another jack like that. if you have one, an air compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter. so nice to have! you better not be going alone!!!

We expect a post trail report with pics so a camera is essential too.

A can of either is nice just in case you blow a tire off the bead.
