3. Communication Devices: Bring a satellite phone or a two-way radio to stay in touch with the outside world in case of emergency.
4. Camping Gear: Bring a tent or rooftop tent, sleeping bags, and cooking equipment to ensure you have a comfortable place to sleep and eat.
5. Water and Food: Bring enough water and food to last the duration of your trip, and pack extra just in case.
6. Clothing: Dress in layers and pack clothes appropriate for the weather and terrain you will be traveling through.
7. First Aid Kit: A well-stocked first aid kit is essential in case of injury or illness.
8. Tools and Spare Parts: Bring basic tools and spare parts for your vehicle, such as spare tires, extra fuel, and a jack.
