I found this list of gear & supplies while doing some research. Great for a newbie like me to the sport. You old timers to the sport probably have even more items to add to the list.
Off Road Safety Gear & Supplies To Take Along
Better safe than sorry. The following safety and recovery equipment will get you out of most predicaments. And, if you're riding with a group, then these items could come from any one of the vehicles in the group; it's not necessary for each and every vehicle to carry it all.
Air pump/compressor
Axe
Blanket
Bow saw
Bucket
Bungee cords
Can opener
Candles
Cell phone and/or CB (Note: steel whip CB antennas can be dangerous out on the trail)
Cigarette lighter
Coat hanger - don't underestimate the number of uses for the common household coat hanger!
Compass/GPS unit (remove GPS below)
Duct tape
Extra gas - enough for a round trip & in an appropriate container
Extra motor oil (1-2 quarts)
Fire extinguisher
First aid kit (packed in a tight weatherproof container)
Flares
Flashlight/lantern
Flashlight/lantern/spotlight - with extra batteries
Food (dehydrated foods take little space and last a long time)
GPS unit/compass
Hydraulic/hi-lift jack
ID card, with emergency phone number contact info & medication/allergy information
Jumper cables
Leather gloves
Maps
Mirror
Multi-fit hose and a roll of rubber-weld tape - to repair a blown radiator hose
Paper towels
Pen & paper (a china marker writes on anything!)
Radiator Stop Leak / Tank sealant putty
Rags
Repair manual for your particular vehicle
Rope
Rubber gloves
Shovel
Spare clothes
Spare key kept on your person
T-style lug wrench
Tarp (6'x6') - to keep yourself out of the mud and to catch small parts
Tire pressure gauge & tire pump; fix a flat
Trash bags - heavy duty
Water - enough for you (to drink, clean up) and your vehicle (battery, radiator, washer fluid)
Waterless hand cleaner
Waterproof matches

Whistle
