I mite have missed a few things but I think thats about it

how good are the foilding saws? do they work?

only additions to Cutters would be:

Glock

one MRE

WetOnes wipes (any wet-type antimicrobial wipe will do)

if there's room. a can of wasp spray....the kind that shoots a 12ft stream!

Mike,,,,,,,I have one of the folding saws and it works great, I bought in Chico at fano saw works (I think)


TOOLS.........Some times when I am working on my quad at home I try and do the repairs with the tools I carry on the quad. This is a great way to find out what you should be carrying.

hey dave thats what i was thinking they make some good stuff. i will check them out thanks!

After saving my butt a couple times now, I don't leave home without a stick of Quiksteel or Jb weld anymore.

Here's my 2 cents worth. Alone, or two or more will change what I take. The terrain determines the caliber of my defense.
Never a auto-loader, they have way of failling when needed most. A .41 mag for bear country, eight shot 22mag for all else,
in wheel guns only. Now to my short list, A metric set of 1/4" sockets, 4" cresent, one screw driver with many philips,& standard.
2 Butane lighters, with a Magnesium striker bar.
Aluminum Police whistle
2lb Hudson Bay Axe 36" version
3 8'x8' blue tarps
2 suture kits, 2 Kotex pads, Ace Bandage
6" knife [SOG SEAL pup}
50' 3/16 braided nylon rope
pain killer, Tylenol will do
water tablets for purification
sunscreen at least a 70 spf
ONE pain of boot laces
Fishing line 10lb & 4lb [ Flossing]
Seasonal clothes [extras]
1lb Kudo Bars, trail mix.
2 sewing needles with a spool of thread
snuggies or wetones [ a great idea]
Most of this I leave in a nylon tube bag packed & ready. We ride in northern Yukon Terr. & I would add Mosquito spray
& a large roll of netting for sleeping purposes. There's my view Guys, Tarmo

@Tarmo - Good point!

I forgot to mention, a few extra LUG NUTS...I learned the hard way. (and matching lug wrench)

and

A ratcheting type strap for re-seating de-beaded tires on the trail.

Great Post!

GMRS radios
I carry a Satellite Phone

what do you guys think about mounting this fireman pic axe. it will be bolted down to the rack and then extend my rack down to mount the shovel.



so what do you guys think any other ideas? let me know!

I see your ready, shovel for snow and an axe to keep you warm. I like those hold downs you got there you build them yourself?

yes i built them. im still looking for a real good mount for the axe and shovel. hey auendave when you going to take me mining?

Mike, I like the idea of mounts for the axe and shovel........I also like to keep the weight spread out evenly on the quad. front to rear and as low as posible.

i might have found a place under my back rack for the ax need to come up with a latch .still looking!
