Newb info stuff

I'm thinking here that we have had some new guys show up over the last little while, and it might be a nice thing to set up a sticky of some sort that outlines the basic needs for hitting a trail like Minden. I seem to remember from years back we had a does and don'ts sticky, but it was more for guys who had been around the block a few times, and really just trying to push off bone-heads for our trail runs.
This club is now moving into 4th gen folks. And 5th will be up soon. They are going to be the ones that take it over. Let's start them up on the right knowledge, from us old timers who just kind of know stuff, and don't really know we know it.
Anyway, if we older guys all chipped in on a few things, from what the basic stuff you would want in your truck, or on it, to some of the more "you could have it, but not truly necessary" stuff, maybe we could build something for the new guys as they hit trails for the first time. This would alleviate some of the same-old-same-old posts, and truly give the guys and gals new to the sport a launching ground.
So, from here, I am going to ask the guys in the club that have experience to chime in..... From that info, we can harness the best and most often said stuff, and make a sticky. Just remember it's for new folks, probably with no lift, AT tires, nice carpets in the truck, and stuff like that.
What would you have wanted to know for your first couple of trail runs, but no one told you?
I'm thinking bug spray. But maybe that's just me...
Go nuts oldies!
