ORV Park, Equipment to Pack.

Well I am taking a road trip 7+ hrs to Hot Springs Arkansas. Planning on going to the Super lift ORV Park http://www.orvpark.com/. I have a toolbox packed with a few things but wanting to make sure I don't leave out something I will need.
Toolbox:
2 Tow straps
Hand Saw
Shovel
Boots
Air Compressor

Inside Cab
Toilet Paper
Jumper cables
Flash Lights
AC Converter
GPS
Hand held radios (No CB)
First Aid Kit
General Tools

I have never been to an ORV park, and where I live we don't really have any trails or obstacles. Just crawfish ponds and bumpy ass levees.

Any heads up will be appreciated. I am heading out there with a friend, he is bringing his truck but I would also like to have another more experienced person with us, would there be any takers here on TW?

 

Damn I wasn't aware of that list. I have a few others saved. Thanks Tiger.

 

Oh that I have covered. I'm not new to off roading just an actual park designated for Vehicles. Hell been hunting a few places that I am sure were more difficult than their 1 star trails.

 

But I'm not bringing Chris!!

 

I remember his brake/horn trick. Trickery.

Wish I would have had more time to plan this out. Its kinda last minute. Would have like to have a few members along.

 

Will you have a trail guide while on the trails? Or will it be YOU and a couple other people guiding yourselves?

If you're gonna have a park respresentative guiding you around - they should be equipped with everything to take care of basic issues while on the trails.

Have you looked at the park rules & regulations? Requirements? etc

Make sure your spare tire is good & ready.

 

If that's the case, then why bother going there at all? If you're gonna break all that stuff, gawd knows what the body & undercarriage are gonna look like.

 

+1- If you are going hardcore wheeling some spare parts aren't bad...but if you need to take all that for a regular wheeling trip...That blows.


Some snacks....and water too.

 

From my exp, the main 2 things that will happen is 1. getting stuck, and 2. flat tires.

1.Bring the appropriate equip to to pull, or be pulled, both forward and backward: hooks, straps, etc.

2. Bring your spare tire, some plugs, air pump/compressor, appropriate jack(s), etc.

 

And that's exactly my point.....

Sounds like the park isn't catering to the lesser equipped vehicles. They should have trails designated for everyone - where you don't have to drive in FEAR of breaking all that stuff. And not to mention, people need to drive their trucks home.....there's a lot more things that can break besides CV axles & such. If you don't have the spare parts, your screwed.

Sounds like a place to avoid if you're a beginner or aren't equipped enough.

 

I beleive you- I blew out a CV avioding an asshole on the road and that sucked...I don't want to imagine how much it sucks to have to repair on the trail.

+1...If the advice is bring lots of spare parts....I'd be weary of going without some more intel...

 

I appoligize for not responding but I was at the park!! We had a Blast Nothing was broken and the tires look good. We stayed mainly on the 1-3 rated trails. However we did come to a place marked as a 3 that had a tree fall, directing us to a 5 rated tail. We couldn't turn around because it was a 1 way trail, and there was no way to go around. The had a very large path allowing us to pick our lines well, I must say the guys at the top of the 5 were mighty impressed with us when we got up there. I'll be starting a thread with the pics, I'll post the link here. Thanks for the great replys.
