I can add some things such as Sand, Cinders, etc, -for Traction, boards, mats and etc, -for when you want to get out of Desert Sands, etc, -and Tire Chains and Tire Changeing / Checking gear, -to your list. Thats just what immeadiately comes to mind, -I'm sure there are a good many others, -that I just can't at the moment think of!

Also, -I'd suggest a book like Chris Scott's "Sahara Overland", -as a Great Source for such a list! (Though it doubtlessly concerns itself primarily with Desert Vehicular Travel.). The Lonely Planet guides may also contain some good lists, -for such Travel in various Climates and Terrains of the World. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]Derek[/email]
