I was setting up my rear rack bag,, and want to get some ideas on what every one else carries..
I have tow rope (for my friends), camp saw(fold out),tire repair plus can of fix-a-flat,Toilet Paper, Bushnell Binoculars,Band aids and eye wash,,Rain suit,,and extra poncho,,Gloves,,pair of socks,,?????????????

 

xtra gallon of gas!

 

What you said plus tools, and cooler full of drinks and food or just a knife, lemon and salt in case I feel like "Rambo".

 

A couple painters dust masks?

I would get rid of the fix a flat and get 12v air pump. Takes about the same amount of room and 10X more convient and re-usable. I carry about 20 tire plugs, glue and a small bicycle hand pump. But if I had room or a utility with a rack I would definitely go for the 12v

 

Flashlight w/extra batteries, matches, whistle (If you end up walking in bear country, a whistle will announce that you're there. Also if you get lost and people are looking for you, it's easier to blow a whistle for them to hear than it is to keep yelling or whistling yourself.), compass and maps or gps.

 

I always take a cell phone no matter if it's for long or short rides.

 

safety wire, waterproof matches, water, proper attire.....

everything you might need to survive a night (or more) alone

 

All I usually take is an extra 2 gallons of gas and a jacket. Maybe some water thats all I can haul on the Shee.
