Many Russians are going on holiday by car this summer, some for the first time. Collecting and preparing is half the success, so good advice along the way always comes in handy. You don’t remember everything, you don’t read it on the forums, and you don’t ask your neighbors. After all, this is an experience that you only gain in practice. For example, seasoned car travelers know it would be nice to have a powerful magnet in the trunk. And why it can come in handy, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
For some reason, it is believed that in the summer you should definitely go to the sea. The country’s barely crawling main road, the M4 Don, monstrous traffic jams on the Sochi serpentine or in Gelendzhik, hours of standstill in front of the Crimean bridge, and also breathtaking prices. But in Russia there are numerous destinations worthy of vacationers’ attention! Including those that match the off-road capabilities of the car to live unforgettable adventures.
We have enough different types of “jeeps”, such a formation of a vehicle is popular among the people. So at least once every owner of the nameplate “4×4” wants to test the car with a real off-road. It is another matter that it is not the one with the coolest SUV who gets to the desired location and returns, but the one who is better prepared. And there are many to stock up on.
Of course, the car must be checked and “treated” before the trip. A pump, a cable, a shovel, good and suitable fasteners, a tire repair kit are a must. By the way, about the latter: it has already been noted more than once that the “wild” rides, as a rule, are not very happy with the inhabitants, along whose lands, forests and beaches the routes run. That is why they often arrange barriers for tourists, and do it in the most barbaric way. This is where a magnet comes in handy.
Placing concrete blocks, forest fences and other highly illegal constructions is a mediocre activity. You can see them from afar, and they can only slow down a good company of several cars and chainsaws for a short time. Therefore, the country people made it a habit to fill puddles with bent and soldered nails, working like a police pen. It costs nothing, but the effect is palpable: a huge puncture of the wheels can completely stop the entire expedition.
The earth is full of rumors, and if similar cases have already happened in the chosen direction, an experienced “jeeper” will not only cross the puddle with his feet, but also not be too lazy to get a magnet out of the trunk to check the “reservoir” for the presence of “foreign objects”. Even a found “thorn” will say a lot, save tires and, with a high degree of probability, prevent an insurmountable “headache”. The magnet is cheap, takes up little space, but the benefit can be very, very big – look for a tire service in our beautiful outback. But for him, honey, you’ve got to get there.
