The Things I take on long rides is what makes my rides fun I bring everything sometimes my racks are not big enough. But the things I used the most is My Military issued folding shovel{folds to about 2" thick to about 10" long} I love it a folding hand saw with changeable blades one for steel and one for wood, maglight and leatherman. Them are the Items I used the most I have a winch and what not on my fourwheeler but thats the main Items I makes sure I have. Oh how I do Love MY Yellow H.0>

 

I also carry a GPS Cell phone something to sleep in if I have to and something to start a fire with then being in the mountains I also carry a gun. Chuck
