Had a blowout over the weekend and was restocking my bag, so I thought to share.
I've got:
Looking at this list, I should probably add a quick link. They're sitting in my tool chest right next to me. My saddle bag is also right next to me... now would be a great time to do that.
Anyways? How do you all pack?
I do mostly trail biking. I just started carrying a mini battery operated chainsaw in my bag a month ago and it’s already come in handy twice. I also carry the usual tools, a spare tube, a GMRS HT, solar powered GPS, first aid kit, and snacks. If I’m biking on the river trail, I throw a collapsible fishing pole in there, as well.
Chainsaw?? That's a first, never heard that before.
To be fair, there's been a few times in my travels where I've thought... I need machete rn and maybe a similar feeling took a hold of you. Vrrrnn Vrnnnnnn
The trails around here are very prone to fallen trees and branches and sometimes there’s no easy way around when they come down. With that chainsaw, I can get myself and everyone else on the trail moving again before trail maintenance even gets the call.
Thank you for your service
