THE BAJA EQUIPMENT TRIP LIST
Left off the BIG BAJA TRIP EQUIPMENT LIST: a jack platform.
Custom made for your Pro Baja Jack and vehicle.
The platform for a floor jack and Econoline with hellwig rear bar is at:
http://picasaweb.google.com/datakollmarineresearch/JACKPLATF...
nice Washington 2x4.
The floor jack’s rear wheels are off the platform with jack body rails resting directly on plywood, front wheels set against the plywood lip on the
2x4’s.
Safety and maneuverability on soft surfaces.

...dunno if it's in here,,,but the #1 biggest thing I reccomend to campers in Baja is a doormat,,,preferrably one of those
with thick-pile,plastic 'grass' mat.......somewhere to change without standing in sand,,,keeps sand from the van and bed,,,easily brushes feet
off even when you get-up at night

If you're towing, I always have an extra set of seals and bearings for the trailer hubs along with two spares and an air compressor.
I also carry 47 fishing rods, 5 tackle boxes, three spearguns, nine filets knives, a skillet and a frying pan. And a bottle opener. But that's just
me...

After 7 years I don't know what this List is about anymore... Sleeping in a truck is one thing, tenting is another, towing is a different thing again.
Different kits for every scenario - perhaps only car kit remains the same.
About that lost-misplaced ignition key: after calling AAA a few times (no such thing in Baja of course), I just ordered 3 spare keys. One is a
designated car key, with a big pendant so it's easy to find (old car, no remote). One is on the ring with my house keys (you carry those in Baja
anyway). And one more is in my desk at home. Make your own variations if you like - ex, one key in sleeping/clothes bag. Have never failed. For 2
people make more keys.

If you see my F150 (we call it the Silver Bullet) look under the back bumper and there will be a spare key taped up to one of the brackets.
Always there when I need it.
And, if you need to borrow the Bullet, well you know how to get it started...

Funny! A friend has a 12 volt dc electric model that plugs into a ciggy lighter socket and another on his golf cart. This has been a great and
helpful thread, after years of travel there is always something that will make it easier/safer. We were supposed to head south on Wednesday but are
holding off until we get a handle on the road/gas, especially gas, situation in Baja Sur. Besides Baja we run around the desert in Anza Borrego and AZ
so a lot of things cross over.
There is a product called 'After Bite' that is great on stings, ant bites, bug nastiness in general. It is an ammonia based topical that comes in
what looks like a marks-a-lot and has a pocket clip. We keep one in each vehicle, our backpacks and kayak kits. While kayaking past Puerto Escontito
toward Juncalito once when Baja was wet/green and were hit by a swarm of bees. They usually don't sting when swarming unless threatened so we were
lucky but the boats must have looked like a convenient resting place. I was surprise the bees were making a passage over water.

PS Its darn hard looking at our loaded and packed vehicle parked out front and not being on the road ~8^)
