I am a newer rider and don't have all the essential gear yet. I am curious to know what you guys like to take out on the trail for a day of riding? What do you like to keep on your back and what gets packed on the sled? I read one real good post that focused on winter survival and fire starting equipment. I am also curious what you bring to help with stuck or broken sleds?
Based on the other post you referenced, I will only list the items I carry that are in addition to the basic survival gear;
In my pack (on my Back) I carry the following;
1. Spare goggles and lens
2. food (I'm a fat guy so this is a must)
3. spare light weight gloves
4. GPS AND
5. GPS Radio
6. Rope (light weight but strong enough to tow a sled etc. Dock ropes for boating work well)
7. Maps
8. Matches and Fire Starter
9. Batteries
10. Shovel w/saw
11. Cell Phone
Maybe a few other items but you get the point
On my sled I carry the following
1. Snobungy
2. Basic tool kit
3. Spare mixed fuel (sometimes)
4. Maps
5. Plugs
6. Lens cleaner and wipes
Sounds like a lot of weight, and it is, but Id sure rather have it then not if something was to happen.
