My first time going out too so I messaged scrappy early on. Here's what he told me.
"You will need front and rear recovery points, that's a must. You probably have front and rear tow hooks. If you can afford one, I'd buy a good tow strap. It's always good if everybody has one. CB is A good Idea too.
Other than that, it's up to you. I always bring a CB, camera, tools, shovel, recovery gear, gloves, trash bags for muddy clothes, change of clothes, boots, snacks, n/a beverages, saw (for downed trees), full tank of gas, full tank of windshield wiper fluid, and money for a car wash on the way home."

Really gonna try and meet up with you guys next weekend.... its just very hard now with my daughter being born. First baby, so it's all new for me(and no, i'm not complaining - I'm loving every second of it)....and no, I can't bring her! 
I guess IF I can't make it, it's not like it'll be the last run either. Plus, by the next run...I'll have my 37's and gears, haha....GETCHA PULL!

I may have you by an inch or two on a good day. We all take turns hooking up people to get them out, it's just nice if somebody has waders so we don't have to get changed each time.
