RimRock Safety Equipment List

Assemble the following items in a storage container to keep on-board. Be sure to tie down and secure all items in your vehicle. Loose tools and spare parts can become dangerous projectiles if the vehicle stops suddenly or encounters large bumps along the way. While chances are slim that you'd actually need them, you should pack enough food and camping equipment to be able to stay alive and relatively comfortable for several days in adverse conditions.
