Hello everyone,
I was looking at the grading systems and noticed that there is a minimum required equipment and emergency equipment for anyone to join any drives. I have some of these equipment but not all. Does anyone know a one-stop-shop for me to be able to pick up these equipment for a reasonable price?
Thanks in advance

Merhaba Taha,
The one (very expensive) stop shop would be ACE except Flag Pole (who knows where can you find it, I am using glass vacuum + fishing rod). But I would buy:
- rope&shackle&hook and wood piece for jack from ACE,
- compressor, shovel, walkie talkie and jack from Dragon Mart (check forum for compressor and walkie talkie)
- Fire Ext from petrol stations...
Hope to see you soon in sand...

Addtional to the info by [MENTION=2569]muhtar[/MENTION]; as it is hinted in the name of this weekends CM drive, you need a deflator with gauge and/or something to deflate your tyre and a pressure gauge, for sure an accurate one. Probably these are the first things you will need and use.
See you on sand...
