For Those Who Dare: ATV Winter Survival Gear

Are we forgetting any necessities?

I just wear lots of warm clothes and carry an extra pair of gloves in case the first pair gets wet.

 

If riding in the bush I always carry a chainsaw and extra gas for it, comes in handy incase the trail is blocked or if you have to spend the night for whatever reason, nothing like a fire to keep you warm.

 

Carry one of those micro stoves, lighter, and extra fuel along with something like soup , or water for hot chocolate. Extra gloves and wear winter coat and flannel lined jeans. Full face helmet keeps the cold off your face and head along with a balaclava for neck and chin (or in my case double chin). Winches are a good thing to have too.

 

so do you carry one or two??

 

In addition to the multi-chin (patent pending), I've got shoulders that go up to my ears. I just take an average sized person's jacket and wrap it around my neck. (So the legend grows)

 

sounds like you have it covered

 

gear: 5th gear all the way

gear: carhartt ,wranglers, gloves, hat x 2

 

Laytex gloves for under the winter gloves (save the dr. jelly finger jokes). They keep your hands dry when your winter gloves get wet and they act as a windbreaker. Try it you'll see.
