Making a 4WD Remote Area Tool Kit

When travelling in remote parts of Australia or your home country, having all the tools, spare parts and recovery equipment is essential to ensuring you have an enjoyable and safe trip. Having the capability to replace faulty parts or do simple repairs or servicing while in the bush, may be essential to your survival should you break down in a remote locality, out of communications range.

A decent 4WD remote area tool kit should be developed for your vehicle before venturing into the outback.

This is a guide for some of the equipment you should carry in order to repair or recover your vehicle should you come to greif.

My Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon is well kitted out for safe remote area travelling. You will need to personalise your equipment to suit your vehicle.

Where I grew up in the Southern USA we called this type of kit common sense. But when I moved away from home for a new city job, I began to see how I'll prepared most motorists are. You have a great kit, and much of it is low cost. I never throw away an old belt or hose, just replace them annually and keep the old one as a spare.

@wb5mgr Very true mate. But common sense is no longer common. Thanks for watching.

Mate this is a great video. You need to be getting paid for this stuff by a netwok tv station. I was in the army for almost 15 years as a recovery specialist, and you are so correct about the humble hand winch (tirfor). It is the most underated piece of equipment you can own. As for your tools, you can not emphasise enough the impotance of spending a little extra on quality. No good saving a few bucks when you are on side of track with busted truck and busted spanners.

Great effort.
