Tools to carry; Is to replace the crappy cheap tools with some good quality ones. Some sockets and end wrenches which fit the machine you're riding. Most machines use metric sizes. They make spark plug caddies (little plastic containers for your spark plugs. These are great because they protect the plug. Bunjee cords, ratcheting tie downs, Wyoming saws or something similar. These break down and take up little space and work wonders on trees which have fallen on the trail. hatchets, waterproof matches, lighter, rain gear, rope 50- 100ft. 3/8" or larger. Plasma cable also is great and takes up less space. Tire plug Kit. Either a 12v Air compressor or CO2 cartridge pump. (you need atleast 3 cartridges to pump up a tire), emergency blankets, fire starting tablets, bug spray, compass, maps, GPS, flashlights, first aid kit, flares, extra fuel, extra gloves, clothing, garbage sacks, if your machine is equipped with a winch a come-a-long is a good replacement, All of these items fit nicely in my front box and fender bags.

I generally take plenty of snacks, drinks, food to last more then a day. My motto: is better to take it and not need then to leave and wish you had it!!

If you're coming to Utah in the spring bring good rain gear. It may be warm and sunny one minute and then a down pour the next.
