What's In Your Emergency Kit?
If you ride away from camp much, you're going to want some sort of kit in case of emergency. I carry the quad's tool kit under the seat, I also carry a camelbak that has my emergency stuff. My kit isn't complete, I plan to add things like a tow strap (wrapped to the quad's bumper), more (better) tools, including swapping elect tape for 100mph tape, a first-aid kit, and possibly a hand-held radio in case of lack of cell coverage.

The camelbak is nice because I can send it out with anyone that goes riding, and they have everything right there.

I carry a lot of stuff. But it seems all the rides I've been on so far are at least 5 miles, (usually more like 15+ miles) from camp and there's not always people around, so I go prepared for anything I can think of. The chances of not needing stuff I have are high, but in the event I need it and don't have it, it's all worth it.

Emergency Kit Contents:

* 100 oz water
* a hip knife (in addition the Gerber hip knife I carry at all times)
* a utility tool
* elect tape
* several yards of nylong string
* a compass with magnifying glass
* a wind-up (no batteries) radio/Flashlightlinks/signal becon
* a flint and steel
* matches
* cloth (usually a hand towel or other)
* a GPS
* a cell phone
* ziploc bags

The water sensitive stuff is in one of the ziploc bags.
