My Gear

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Nice looking set up. & on the second comment, speaking from experience, the day you don’t think you’ll need it is the day you do. Ha ha.

Also speaking from experience, you don’t want the first time you use that gear to be because you HAD to use it.

Take it out, set it up, pull a vehicle, set up the rigging, get it a tiny bit dirty. You want to be familiar with your equipment before you need it. Often I find in the practice process that I either am missing an additional piece of gear I hadn’t thought of, or there’s some type of skill or knowledge I’m missing. Good to catch before when it’s fixable and no big deal.
