Getting stuck with your vehicle can cause a lot of panic if you are inexperienced – it can feel like you’re inventing the theory of relativity from scratch. To get unstuck in a relaxed and more confident way, you’ll need to own the right outdoor equipment: Flashlight, Towing Hook and an Air Compressor.
Flashlight
May there be a flashlight and enough illumination to make everything visible. Yeah, sometimes you can get stuck somewhere at night. A busted tire or engine failure while on a tough terrain at night means that the flashlight can be your superhero. You can easily inspect the vehicle, see where you’re headed and even signal for help. Whether online or in a physical shop, you can find a wide range of flashlights, but in Australia, without any competition, the LED Lenser flashlights are leading the way. It’s both due to the energy efficiency feature and the durability it offers why it is such important piece of outdoor equipment, however lacking in importance in may appear at a first glance.
Towing Hook
Yar, where me hook be? It’s on your vehicle Captain! Oh, right, another thing to consider is the towing hook. Getting unstuck in some of Australia’s tricky roads can rarely be done without a towing hook. A tow hook or tow bar is a device that is connected to the chassis of the vehicle. The installation process goes like this: the towing hook is mounted on the lunette ring, and the loop is connected to the other vehicle. A well-built towing hook can work at any terrain, rough or smooth.
Air Compressor
Fully Inflated Tires, Connects all the Wires. Like it was mentioned before, Australia offers rough terrains that demand a lot of amortization and durability from your tires. However, even if there is nothing wrong with them, as you drive through a rocky terrain, the tires can lose little bits of air and won’t be in 100% working conditions. Tires that are not fully inflated can add to the fuel consumption, make the ride uncomfortable and create dangerous situations for all passengers in the vehicle.
To sum it all up, the road is treacherous and full of danger. However, owning the right outdoor equipment for your vehicle can help you cope easily with any tough situation you may find yourself in, especially if there’s no one around to offer a helping hand. Driving well-prepared means reaching your destination safely.
