smclelan Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 When you go saddlebagging in PQ, what do you have in your bags (not including clothing)? Lets make a list, I'll bet it will make a good resourse when packing for your next trip. He are some of the things I always take along: Flashlight Extra Turnbuckles for Saddlebags Plastic tie wraps Small tool kit (sockets, multi head screwdriver, adjustable wrench) Tow rope Sharp knife Extra heated shield cord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobraap Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I 2nd the extra heated shield cord. Mine was acting up last year and we stopped at a dealer in Sacre Coeur and they wanted $37 for one!!! I figured I could fix what I had instead!! In additions to what Smclelan carries... I also carry a small LED flasher I can stick on the sled in case of a breakdown at night. Cheapo digital watch as an alarm clock Leatherman multi tool Cold medication Rolaids Tooth glue, If Ike is reading this he'll understand!!! Skidoo batteryless light English to French translation booklet Camera Cable lock bungee cords(for those broken turnbuckles) Electrical tape Cell phone Plastic bottle of "Ron Carioca" for after the ride. Fuses + Relays (I ride an ski doo SDI) A couple of small nuts and bolts as spares. Holy crap now I know why it weighs so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Duct Tape, heavy-duty wire ties, drygas, and of course a small roll of TP in a ziplock bag. ;) Duct tape is the single most important thing to have. It has saved the day many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSE800 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Doo any of you carry a portable shelter? Yesterday I was watching Storm Stories on the Weather Channel and it was about some snowmobilers out west riding the contential divide. A storm came in and they all got stranded. (If it's on again you all should check it out, it was quite interesting) Anyway at the end of the segment the WC had a list of stuff outbackers should carry with them, and a portable shelter was one of them, I thought it would be a good idea.

MichiganRev Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Just to add, I carry a map of every region in Quebec, cause when the trail is smooth and fast (which is most of time) you never know where your sled might take you. Trails change from year to year so I get a new set every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
