Default trip tommorow need help

well guys tommorow me and my friend are going on some trails in the next town over and don't want to have to tow a quad home so i need to know what parts i should bring and what tools. I am bringing my 1993 yamaha kodiak 400 4x4 and my friends bringing his 1991 yamaha warrior 350, we thought of a new chain and links for the warrior, wire, wire cutters, a hatchet, hunting knife, cell phone(lol), and well thats all i can think of? if anyone has any ideas on what would go wrong please reply.

Thanks

Bring a too. kit that has like a 15-17 metric wrenches and screwdrivers across the board, the wrenches differ due to different quads so find the wrenches that fit on pretty much everything. Bring extra gas and most important- rope to tow the other guy out if need be. and a GPS if you have one

yeh i forgot to mention i got ropes on the rack, the trail is along side of a highway so theres a gas station at eery exit so thats not a big deal but I am still bringing a 2.5gallon tank just in case, so i'll bring every size wrench up to size 17? and no its to far to go back and get tools its most likely the warrior to break because my kodiak is the most reliable quad i've ever seen.

also, take some duct tape, zip ties, and a few quarts of oil. You can never have too much duct tape and zip ties along, I used them to fix a broken tie rod end so I could limp 5 miles back to the truck.

I would bring a tire patch kit with a small electric air pump. You can put aligator clips on the wires in place of the car lighter plug and it will hook directly to your battery. It has come in handy more than once. Also bring along a first aid kit. You never know when you may need one. Zip ties, duct tape and extra clothes are also things I keep in my bag. As far as tools go,bring some metric wrenches and screw drivers. Also bring an adjustable wrench and a set on channel locks. They work good in a pinch. Then have fun and don't worry about it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
