Hi guys, as I get closer to having my BII on the road (come on driveshaft shop!) I was thinking about one of my favorite places to go fishing here in the Cherokee National Forest in East TN.
There is a large creek that runs along a forest road that is stocked with rainbow trout by the state every week from the end of February until the end of July. It is a graveled forest road, but can get tight and rough on certain parts, and being in the National Forest, there is certainly no cell signal.
I plan on taking the BII there often when they begin stocking with Trout soon.
So this brings me to my questions, what do you carry with you in an older vehicle to be prepared?
I've got an array of fluids, a bottle jack, and new spare tire in the BII already. I need to get a small tool set, and maybe a spare TFI.....
I'll be driving this rig on my daily commute as well, but that doesn't worry me much as it is a major highway and I have cell signal.
On the other hand I could see it being difficult if something was to go wrong out on the national forest road with no signal.... I was thinking about possibly a CB as well? I'm sure the park rangers and game wardens monitor the emergency channels?
