Atleast you will have all the spares you need then lol

Just laning and off road on private land etc also i might not have other people if I'm just around in fields and woods so what would be of some use ?

I carry:

Strops
D shackles
Tow rope
Hi-Lift
Tools

and most importantly a mobile phone!

Ropes n shackles are a bit useless if you by yourself. got a winch?

I would love a winch but not got one yet, I could dig or use boards to try and get myself out ?

if your on your own then i guess a shovel and waffle boards are your best friend along with a mobile, but i guess most importantly , know your limits! so you can avoid any unwanted surprises

get a tirfor. cheaper and you can put it away when you not using it.

This is always a hard one to answer. Mainly because it should be common sense to an extent.

However, im in no rush so I'll proceed.

I carry:

Spade, ground anchor, hi lift jack and bottle jack, multitude of strops, couple of nylon twist ropes for road towing, bridle ropes, shackles and snatch block, comprehensive tool kit, various spares Inc wheel bearings and seals, swivel ball plus bearings and seal, pot of grease, 2ltr gear oil, sachet of swivel ball grease, cable ties, rags, gloves (heavy duty and disposable), hand lamp and spot lamp, overalls and waterproofs, fire extinguishers, wd40, spray grease, waterproofing agent, wiring equipment and spares winch cutoff switch, bow saw, air compressor, hand winch (vehicle fitted with winch on front also), warm clothes, first aid kit, ratchet straps (handy for securing bodywork or loads etc), 10ltr water and cooking equipment etc when greenlaning, 240volt inverter, chest waders, various bungee cords and small straps etc, spare spark plug and distributor cap, handheld cb radio (vehicle fitted with cb also)

That's probably it I think.

You could say that you are never that far away from help in the uk, but in my view it's good to carry equipment.

You will very quickly learn what you should carry or need to carry after you have had some problems and learnt the hard way!

Do you go to the amazon often, or is that just down to the shops ?

i dont go alone, its hard work when you get stuck

What would you carry greenlaning ? How far away from your house are you going ? Do people travel light, what are the essentials ?
