Thoughts on having certain items present before a club sanctioned event can take place?
I was thinking about the trip to Tellico during MLK when we didn't have a snatch block to rescue a stranded vehicle. And since I'm the safety guy it's time for me to start doing my job.
Maybe we should have a list of things necessary for 4x4 outings.
1. First Aid Kit
2. Emergency contact for each member
3. tow strap
4. tree saver
5. snatch block
6. winch
7. cell phone
8. handheld radio
9. cb
10. water
11. Hi lift
12. Who knows Emergency rescue
What else?
I personally think that every driver should be required to have #8. There are many in the club like myself who have more than one for those who don't have them. But a count of who does and who doesn't before the trip might be a good idea.
#1 should be required for any group and at least have one for every five vehicles partaking in an event. Or one very large one.
#2 should be required. If you get injured on the trail. I would think you would want us to call someone. At least two people should have this list.
#3 Should be required and at least two for more than ten vehicles
#4 If your winching from a tree you have to have one. We are not here to tear up the environment.
#5 this should be required and more than one if more than ten vehicles.
#6 it's no necessary but would be very nice. A come-a-long or Hi-lift (#11) would work but at least one of something per 5 vehicles.
#7 at least one per 5 vehicles. (I don't see this being a problem)
#8 this one device has proven to be a life saver as well as a time saver. Nothing worse than a bunch of people yelling out there windows at each other. If you have a loud vehicle like mine I'd suggest an earphone to hear what everyone is saying.
#9 I have no idea on this one but some other clubs use them and I think they are a requirement for GSMTR. Something to discuss.
#10 I have no idea how much but Alex usually carries 5 gallons with him at all times. I'm pretty sure we cannot live without water nor our cruisers.
#11 discussed in the #6 items. It seems every time we go out wheeling we use one of these things.
#12 If i was in trouble on the trail I would like the person most qualified for the job to help me. If we know peoples qualifications before the event we have a better chance of surviving an accident. Last thing I want to hear if I'm having a heart attack is "Does someone here know CPR?"
These are just ideas and nothing is set in stone without David's and Alex's approval. So punch some holes in this guys.

......... if marshall is the safety man I would say either me or chuck should be the anti-saftey man
