A few ideas.

 

[skiingmaniac00]

Here is what I carry:

2 tow straps
Racket Strap
Full socket set
tire repair kit
extra belt
air compressor
toilet paper
water/snacks
bungee straps
Allen wrenches/screw drivers
Green Slime for the tires
3 different pliers
4 extra spark plugs
spark plug socket
tire gauge
Fire Extinguisher
Towels/hand sanitizer/wet wipes
rain cloths

I think that is all...

Mine is mostly standard. But I do have a couple of metric wrenches for things like the battery terminals (10mm), and certain engine parts that might need snugging.

I am by no means capable of fixing a motor/transmission or any other serious problem in the woods...Thank got for friends...So I don't carry much in regards to tools my thing is comfort and survival more then mechanics..

machete
echo folding saw
GPS
maps
flares
bungee cords
10' tow strap
fishing tackle/fishing rod
Rain gear
extra lens for goggles/anti fog
slime tire repair kit
walkies
buck knife
multi tool
magnesium stick w-flint
LED flashlight
first aid kit
$50 bill always stashed on my bike
gum
chocolate
beef/deer/bear/goose jerky what ever is in season
There maybe more but my bike is up north at the farm so I can't double check. This is the list for when I go to moose camp or to the boonies.90% of the time I ride on private property and and in populated areas so carrying survival gear and tools is really not necessary.
But I do keep tools at the truck
extra spark plugs
extra plastic rivets
ratchet set
driver set
torx bits of useable sizes
allen keys
duct tape
zip ties
olfa razor
small pry bar
hammer
electrical tape
small tube of die-electric grease
grease gun with amsoil grease
extra air filter
soon to be extra belt and tools required for my buddy to change it..lol
extra axle bolts and lug nuts
a piece of pipe for added leverage when removing/installing lugs nuts
extra head and tail bulbs

I'm sure there's more but moose hunting is not for another 4/5 months so I'll worry about it then.

Skiinngmaniac -

If you carry 4 extra spark plugs maybe you need a tune up !!
lmfao - I'm sure you have a reason

 

[dbmachine]

I am the same, can't fix too much, but want to survive.

Do you also carry a strike flint, or a magnesium flint stick, or both??

 

[skizmo]

absolutely Will that's what I meant by the mag fire starter....its a magnesium stick and on one edge it has a flint strike...I never go in the woods with out that and my buck knife.

Oh, ok. Where did you buy it?? We have an outdoor shop up in Barrie. Don't want any of that novelty stuff, that is for sure.

I will soon start putting stuff like this together.

Thanks. Looks exactly like what Les Stroud has used, simple and effective.
