Since I would rate my wheeling at basically tooling around not blazing new trails good way to walk ahead to tell if I'm going to get in trouble. In particular I have a side slope device but that is what I have the most trouble determining.
Thnx

I would never wheel alone. I would find another rig there to tag along with, especially if you are going deep into the parks. Another experienced driver can help spot and can help with recovery/repair if needed.
If you absolutely have to, then I would take all the communication, extra gear and supplies I may need in a worst case scenario and tell someone where I am going and a time to check in- but again I wouldn't go alone. Often times, the truck can "break" and it is not an issue of recovering it or getting it unstuck, it has to be towed out. Not to mention that personal injury is a probablility also.
Here is a basic list of supplies when wheeling with someone.
High frequency radio
Flare gun
matches
food
lots of water
blankets
bug spray
first aid
standard heavy duty tool kit
winch
recovery kit
extra gloves
shovel
axe
saw
tire repair kit
flashlight w/ extra batteries
Hi lift Jack
GPS/Nav equipment
cell phone
any spare parts that you have
and a good sense of mechanics and MacGyver like quickness
