What do you carry in your quads??

[Summitric]

This thread is probably out there somewhere, but i had a look and didn't see anything...... What do you carry on your quad, for tools, equipment, emergency parafinelia, etc????? We are new to quadding this year, so would like an idea before we head off on our own.

 

[Summiteer]

sling
100' cable
first Aid kit
space blanket
air compressor
tire repair kit with plugs, stem, CO2 cartridges
camera
binoculars
Insurance and registration
All but the sling and cable are in a pelican case with pick out insulation to keep dry and so they don't get rattled to peices on the trail
boat bilge pump with 20' cord and a 15' hose for rad cleaning
I always take a days worth of food and water at a minimum, doesn't take much to turn a three hour ride into Gilligans Island.

What would you use 200' of 1/4" cable for?

This is what I carry Rick

Tree Saver - (4 ft Sling)
Snatch Block - (cheap pulley with hook from Princess Auto)
200 ft 1/4 cable
12V Air Comp
Valve stems & Puller
Tire Plugs & Puller
Patch Kit
Ratchet Strap
First aid kit
Fold up saw
Flagging tape

It's all small, light stuff & goes into the back box nicely.

Try and co-ordinate with your riding buddys before heading out. For instance if the people that responded to this thread were to all come out for a day trip together there would be 614 feet of cable and slings I like to pack as light as possible. Its much easier on the machine and my body.

Oh ya...pack lots of Zip Ties, the really really big ones. handy handy handy :d

Ruger 10/22 when I get to go.

 

[kingkris06]

orange garbage bag (use as rain coat, in an emergency it helps to flag someone down)
bear bangers
electrical wire and tape
flaging tape
couple of zip ties
tow rope (wire cable dosent streach when towing a broken quad out of bush)
i keep a flint nap in my quad since its about the only thing that will still light when wet
hatchet
compass
comealong

ive thought i should keep some water treatment tablets and some MRE(meals ready to eat) cause if you ever have to spend the night or have to walk out your food probably wont last


i would recomend a 12 volt air compressor over the CO2 canisters, you will find out if you ever have a tire come off of the bead

 

[wellluck]

Pretty much most things already mentioned, plus a bag of miscellaneous nuts/bolts etc.

 

[tekimsbro]

I made up a small set of booster cables with alligator clips...Used them 2X this year. My 800 Outty does not have a pull cord. Fuggin battery gets low when I winch a lot...anyone else run into this?

 

[sledderdoc]

Thats what I like about those two up back seats! You sure can pack alot of stuff. Nothing beats some wine and cheese, a small meat platter, more snacks .... BEER to wash it down and to lend to those who pack to light ... not mentioning any names but you know who you are lol. :d
