Also, if I do go out, I'd like to bring back accurate results, what should I be rating the sinking spots on?
Can someone tell me the things I should bring with me, besides the most obvious change of clothing? I'm still timid and also need to be able to get home looking as if nothing happened, this little kit still lives with it's family. I'm probably walking too, won't be able to carry much. I'm sure I could figure it out on my own, but I want to get some tips and pointers from those that have done this before, make sure I don't go and do something stupid.
Stuff to take with you:
A washcloth and a towel, and maybe even some soap.
A change of clothes, complete with shoes & socks
water. I bring drinking water in a cooler, as well as washing water in 2 or 3 liter plastic bottles. (used soda containers) How many you need depends on how hard the mud you play in is to get off your body.
Plastic trash bags. I usually try to bring 3. If I want to leave in any hurry, then 2 plastic bags and the towel are good for covering the seat in my car, and I can leave without cleaning up. Otherwise, it's 1 plastic bag for all my wet clothes and the wash cloth.
maybe a snack that won't go bad from sitting in a hot car (or that you can put into the cooler with your drinking water)
