Off road etiquette........

IF your on a trail and someone is behind you eager to pass you slow down let him go ahead of you.

 

x2million.


#2. Dont go ripping past someone whos stopped; two inches from the side of their truck, OR making tons of DUST.

 

3. If you find someone thats stuck help em. Even if it's just taking them to where they can get cell service.

 

I noticed that in the desert everyone always ask if you need help good thing!

 

I think it's because everyone's been stuck in 3 foot soft sand that they didn't see and they know how much it sucks

I have always been taught that the vehicle going up the hill has the right away, because it's easier to lose control backing down the hill than it is back up the hill.

 

That's my contribution. I'm the owner and producer of that website.

But, if I have to input them into 1 message at a time, I can do that too.

 

I think Killer Red Taco is correct, uphill charge has the right of way, but if met in the middle the downhill vehicle should (if able) pull to one side. I know in hiking trails the uphill climber has right of way.

 

The downhill vehicle has priority because of 'braking'. Gravity is pulling them down the hill regardless, if their brakes fail....there's nothing they can do. An uphill vehicle has momentum and power (gas pedal).

And seriously - if the hill is steep enough where you can't make it up under normal power (or could get stuck on it), then there should only be ONE VEHICLE at a time. Wait for that vehicle to clear the trail entirely before making the decent/accent.

 

If the hill is that slippery/dangerous etc then a spotter needs to get out and close the hill down to anyone coming the other way.

 

Bump to pass.

 

You always smoke a doobie or have a beer with the guy that pulls you out!

 

Fixed it for ya.
Never drink & drive. Never go offroad alone. Always wear your seatbelts (to name a few).

 

I always mess that one up, because it's the opposite for hiking etiquette. Uphill hiker always has the right of way.

 

#34- Never steal a guys lighter that gave ya a ride off road to go shooting.

 

Stay On The Trail:
Nuff said.

Do Not Litter:
If you pack it in, pack it out. Keep Co. beautiful.

Leave the area cleaner than we found it:
When we are stoped, take a look around, if you see trash, just pick it up and throw it away.

Don't EVER bring a sick truck to the trail:
If your rig isnt running right, leave it at home, catch a ride with someone, it really stinks fixing someones rig on the trail, even worse when they knew it wasnt running right, and it just puts a bummer on the whole day.

Keep pets under control:
No one wants to be hurt, or hurt your pets.

Respect your fellow wheelers:
If you use their stuff, offer to get them a couple bucks, especially with respect to airing up. For folks who run CO2, it costs to refill, and its nice to offer.

Radio Chatter:
Keep it short and sweet and no foul language.

This is just a few things we do.

 

As a hunter/target shooter, these are really important to me. REALLY important. Good post.
