When we decided upon the trip we knew very little about 4wd vehicles, the places we were going and what to do in an emergency.
We knew that it was going to take 3 years to save up for the trip, and hence decided to utilize some of this time to get ourselves trained in 4 key areas:
1. Vehicle Maintenance and repair
2. Off road driving
3. Learning a language
4. First aid.
All of these things we managed with varying degrees of success. Certainly we now feel a lot more prepared, but feel that with further application we could have taken each area further.
