Emergancy Supplys

Great idea, srg, but I've got to draw the line at the monkey wrench.

I'd throw in a couple plugs and plug socket too, especially if it's a two-stroke... and a couple hose clamps, a chunk of fuel line. The tape and nylon ties can save a long walk back, too- multiple uses and light weight.

Not sure about your machines but mine have the sprocket tubes and axle hubes that are pinned or bolted on, spare bolts are a good thing for me.

Good post SRG...we are on the same wavelength. I am putting mine together as well. I'm also going to add first aid kit (canine and human), MRE's and water filter. The Jack Daniels is an excellent addition. Also, I would recommend an extra belt, as I actually shredded one this year, and it was nice to have a spare.

EDIT: Add mosquito repellent and baby wipes to that list.

Great post srg! I think your list of supplies covers just about anything that you could need in an emergency situation on on the trails. I have broke down on the trail before, but luckily it wasn't that far away where I couldn't get another one of my other 6 wheelers or tractors back to recover it. I've spent more time working on my machines to make them reliable than riding lately, but when I do take my rigs on a long ride you bettter believe that I will be loading up everything that you mentioned. Thanks for posting up this up, I'm sure it will save a lot of 6x6World members some trouble and frustration.

do yourself and your buddies a favor,pack a tool kit!! could save you a long walk through sometimes unwalkable terrain when riding alone!when riding with a friend could save you a lot of time riding home for tools.if your by yourself and have a cell phone it could save your buddy the hassle of coming to get you!!here's a pic of my tool kit,only weighs 6 pounds and can be secured anywhere to help balance aatv!good idea to carry a first aid kit as well!!! there are many different kinds of multi tools that save weight.these are my favorite ones.the 3 point vice grips are really good on stripped,rusty nuts.this antique combo is my favorite its a little heavy but can be used as a hammer,mini vice or adjustable wrench!sometimes multi tool don't work well so specific allen wrenches your aatv needs and sometimes custom cut wrenches or one or two sockets are great also. a little fuel line,master links and add a links,extra spark plug,some wire and crimp connectors too. depending on how far and how hard you ride might be a good idea to carry an extra axle,if not you can swap a bent front for a center in about an hour or less,metal cutting saw blade for cutting bent section off so you can use the rest for center strokets! cell phone and water bottle are also good ideas. depending on what breaks...might be a good idea to hide a flask of jack somewhere TOOO...
