what is in your backpack

[powderhound1]

Looks like we might get to ride a little this year at least hoping so, so what do you have in your backpack, ie, extra socks, gloves, goggles, sunglasses, fire starter, first aid kit, chocolate. I know this is probably an old topic but we may have some new riders out there that need to know this kind of stuff, so ride smart and ride safe

Add beacon, radio, saw, zip ties, duct tape, rope, bailing wire, hose clamps, a couple glow sticks, energy bars, and lots of fluid, hydrate or die.

I carry a lot in my backpack. I've been told I carry too much, but I beg to differ. Here is a list of what I carry in my backpack. Flashlight, glow sticks, avi probe, shovel, windproof lighter, matches, fire starter (firepuffs.com), mirror, whistle, compass, extra socks, extra stocking cap, extra balaclava, flashing beacon, hand warmers, toe warmers, bungee cords, bailing wire, emergency blanket, candles, bright colored ribbon, toilet paper, spare air valves (for Fox Floats), leathermans tool, maps, GPS, two way radio, first aid kit, tool kit, survival knife, folding saw, trash bag, zip lock bags, Snobunje sled tow kit, mule tape, Bivy sack, a small Gerber hatchet and a Chainmate pocket chain saw. It seems like a lot, but really it's not. I carry a Klim Krew Pack and have plenty of room in there for some other things. I also carry a pistol with me, which some think is silly as well... to each their own

On my one lousy ride last year,I did a 35 mph superman with a half twist but missed the sled and hit the hard pack with my back. Shovel nearly broke ribs in my back. Bruised and sore for weeks.

I know it's cool to have your shovel in you pack so you can dig out quickly, but I will be putting mine somewhere else. This old man can't take hits like he used to.

Ill bet there is an old cliff bar in my backpack.
