Default Emergency tools/packs?

Just curious if anyone caries any extra tools or has purchased any of the tool kits online. Any recomendations on which ones are best or what the must have tools are?

Besides the small tool kit that came with the ATV I just have a tire plug kit, air compressor, bottle of Slime and a good 10MM socket and 1/4 inch ratchet.

I run with pretty much the same things. I put them in a small soft sided cooler. It keeps them dry and when you strap it on the back rack or in my front storage being it is soft sided it colapses down and also keeps them from rattling around so much.

I went around my ATV and took a good hard look at the fasteners. I thought about what I could conceivably be fixing on the trail and looked at the fasteners I'd be removing and went from there. I keep a small set of sockets and wrenches I might need, screwdriver with appropriate bits, tire patch kit, compressor, mechanic's wire, duct tape, spare spark plugs, etc. Stuffed all of it in waterproof bags and containers that I stow in my fender bags.

if you have the polaris rear cargo box gettin small rubber maid container works awesome for in there, sits perfect in the bottom without moving around. I carry a spark plug, new belt, ratchet set, small open end wrenches, allan wrenches, pliers, some clevises, tow rope, hand cleaner, a small hammer and it all fits in there good with lots of room to spare
