Communication: Establish a group chat or use radios for communication during the trip Meeting Points: Decide on a specific meeting point and time to avoid delays.

2 Formation and Spacing

Adequate Spacing: Keep a safe distance between vehicles to allow for adequate reaction time in case of obstacles or emergencies Dont leave the vehicle behind you behind! Its ok to wait

3. Pace and Speed

Consistent Pace: Set a comfortable pace that accommodates the slowest vehicle

Signal Changes: Use hand signals or radios to indicate turns, stops, or speed changes

4. Trail Etiquette

Right of Way: Yield to larger vehicles or those in a more precarious position If you encounter oncoming traffic, the vehicle going uphill typically has the right of way.

Stay on Trails: Stick to designated trails to minimize impact and avoid getting lost

5 Obstacles and Recovery

Assist When Needed: Be prepared to help fellow convoy members with any difficulties, such as getting stuck or needing repairs

Clear Communication: If you encounter an obstacle, communicate clearly about the best approach and ensure everyone is aware of any potential hazards

6 Breaks and Stops

Regular Breaks: Schedule regular breaks for food, fuel, and rest, ensuring everyone stays hydrated and alert.

Group Gatherings: When stopping, gather to discuss the next leg of the journey or any concerns

7 Tread Lightly

Pack Out Trash: Ensure that everyone in the group packs out all trash and waste

Respect Nature: Stay on marked paths and respect wildlife and vegetation

8. Emergency Procedures

Emergency Contacts: Share emergency contact information and agree on a plan in case someone gets lost or injured

First Aid Kit: Make sure someone has a first aid kit and knows how to use it

9. Respect Local Regulations

Know the Rules: Familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding off-roading, including permits, speed limits, and designated areas

10. Have Fun!

Enjoy the Experience: Keep the atmosphere positive, encourage camaraderie, and make sure everyone has a great time!
