I intended to just take a short trip. Didn't bring water or food. It's a really popular trail. "If anything happens people are already here" I thought. Well I didn't get very far before I realized they shut down the bridge for repairs (old train bridge). Oh well. I'll just take the back trail home. We'll that ended in disaster. Flipped the bike. Took hours for anyone to find me. The fall was bad enough that my teeth were impaled on the inside of my lips. No food, no water. Did have cell service though. Would have taken a long time for anyone to find me. Luckily a couple of dad's friends happened to see which direction I went in so he was able to get to me before it got dark. Now I always take 2 phone chargers (one solar powered one quick charging) as well as at least 2L of water and food for 2 days. Even if it's only supposed to be an hour long trip.

You forgot an emergency beer. Never leave home without one.

First thing that came to mind is water. That's because I forgot water once :)

Good to see you on a video Charles! Good stuff and I don’t even ride quads

Ratchet strap, so many uses for one. I've nursed my quad back to base with a front wheel that was flopping with one and you never know when you need to anchor something down on a rack

Number one trail accessory is a map. Number two is to not ride alone. I do a lot of trails and i find lost people to be the most common issue on the trails, also no gas which can sometimes be from being lost too long

Nice video! I recommend adding a vise grip locking pliers, and an adjustable wrench.

Very entertaining ✌🏻

Depending on where you are and what time of year, insect repellent.

Lol sounds like I've been running old school this whole time

Many people overlook fire extinguishers and think it will never happen to them. I had a 2002.5 (iirc) polaris sportsman 700 very first gen EFI that had a recall which mine was NOT apart of where I want to say the harness rubs through, grounds, and starts and electrical fire. If I had not been right next to my camper and thinking on my feet it would have burned to the ground.

I just keep zip ties and couple cold ones

You didn't have duct tape on your list

Water/Liquids, Coat/Jacket, Cell Phone/Walkie Talkie..

When ur rocky mnt atv and u buy silly straps because you cant tie an 8 on a bight or bolens knots.

Tusk, tusk, tusk 🤦‍♂️

You don’t need any of this shit if you have a Honda
