Navigation and Communication
Off-road communication and navigation are paramount:
Two-Way Radio
Invest in a reliable two-way radio for communication with your group or for emergencies when cellular reception is unreliable. Use an off-road navigation-specific GPS device or smartphone app. These tools allow you to track your route, mark waypoints, and better plan your journey.
Essential Supplies
Be prepared for any scenario by packing the following:
A first aid kit should contain bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and other essential medicines.
Emergency Equipment
Always have a multi-tool, flashlight, fire starter, and spare batteries available. These items could be invaluable in unexpected situations.
Food and Drink
Carry an adequate supply of non-perishable food and beverages. You never know when you might need sustenance during an extended off-road adventure.
Compact and lightweight emergency blankets can provide warmth and shelter if you find yourself in a dangerous situation after sunset or in adverse weather.
Winches and Recovery Points
A winch on your Ford Ranger can be a lifesaver off-road:
Ensure there are appropriate recovery points at the front and rear of your Ranger for attaching recovery straps or a winch.
Winch
A winch with sufficient pulling power can help you out of challenging situations like deep mud or steep gradients. Ensure it's securely fastened to your Ranger's frame.
