Does any one have a list, or know of a web site that might have a list of must have items to take on day or over night trips.
Maybe if we all list the must have items we take on trail rides we all can create a master list.
I got the idea from the "Flat tire" thread, Slime -tire patch- air pump
What other survival items can you think of?
Matches or magnesium fire starter
Tow strap
Energy bars
Water
Extra fuel
????

 

Here's what we carry on our trips:
extra riding gloves
rain gear
gps
2-way radios
spare batteries
flashlight
sanitary wipes
first aid kit
medication
spare keys
water
food
dust mask or kerchips
insect repellant
spare fuel
maps of area trails
bungee cords
spare spark plug
tool kit, tire plugs, and air pump


I hope that helps

 

Good ideas Thanks

 

In addition to what has been posted:
Space blanket
Folding saw
Pencil and paper
Signal mirror
Pistol
Pistol
Pistol
Did I mention pistol?

This was pretty well covered in a thread about 2 years ago. Check this out:

Remember, it all depends on where you're riding. I'm always in the desert, so I always carry a complete survival set-up and pack along a firearm... ALWAYS.

However, depending on your age and where you ride, you have make accomodations for your worst case scenario.

 

beer, I ride with a group of guys that all carry a giant cooler filled with beer, I swear every 5 mins of riding they stop to drink beer, then when they finish all the beer we take the back roads to an outta the way bar and drink more beer. Tell me? Does life get any better than when you can use back roads and a trail and ride ur ATV to a bar then get totally knocked out drunk then ride ur ATV home without worring about getting a DUI and losing ur drivers licence? If ur ATV breaks down or gets stuck you won't care cause ur too drunk to care about anything.

 

No wonder why there's so many atv accidents, cause it's people like you that make it bad for the rest of us. I'm glad that you don't ride in the same state that I do

 

You don't think you can get a DUI if you were caught riding your ATV?? Don't know what the laws are down there, but it'll still hit you up here.

You receive a lot of greif for your posts on this forum. I was starting to feel a bit bad for you, but you've blown any chance of respect from me and most other forum members with this post.

Odds are fellas that he won't be in the gene pool a whole lot longer ..
