Good morning All. I just recently joined DO and I would love to go for a drive this coming Friday. Let me know if there is a spot available. Also, I haven’t bought yet my recovery gear. Will that be a problem?

you can join this drive by simply pressing the thumbs up (im in) button above, your name would then appear among the rest in the registration list …..
however, it is very important that you at least carry a compatible radio tuned to DO frequencies, without which you will not be allowed to join the drive unfortunately….

Main thing for the first drive is having a radio and flag (safety).
Compressor comes second (comfort and safety), then recovery rope and shackles (in case you get stuck, is better to use your own gear, as if someone else’s gear breaks down… :-ss ).
Hi guys. Thanks a lot for the info. I will try to get a radio by Friday and a flag should be easy.
@Joe I tried clicking thec”i’m in” button but for some reason I can’t get through. Any ideas?
Just click on it once. I see u registered, and then removed registration. Same button does both ))
Cheers!
Hi Den. I am afraid I will have to wait until next week, have ordered a radio but will be only delivered in a few working days. Thanks a lot though and keep in touch. Have fun!
