[QUOTE="Bryce R, post: 13936, member: 345"] Most have figured out we love riding in the back country. The farther from life we can get the more we love it. A few rides this year it was 2 hours for the ambulance to meet us at a main road if something where to happen. Alot of the time a 4 wheeler or bike was the only way in or out to where we were. Even to get to where a chopper could land. We ride very careful but we also try to be prepared. I thought out a little senario and thought we would see how everyone would respond. Hopefully this could save someone or atleast make them more prepared. I know there are a ton of details that are missing but lets do our best and keep an open mind. Okay your 20 miles in on a old mining road in the woods that only a 4 wheeler or bike can ride because of its condition. Your 2 hours from the closest town or city and you have no cell service until you're to town. Its you and 2 other riders. You come around a corner and there is one of your riding partners bikes laying on its side in a pile of rocks when all of sudden you notice they are still under the bike! You race over and get the bike off of them but they are unconsious. You notice a bone sticking out of there leg below the knee and its bleeding bad. The helmet has some bad scars and scratches on the left side and has slight cracks. They are breathing and everything else seems to be fine other then some scratches and bruses. They are laying face down in the rocks. Your other partner pulls up to the scene. Its in the fall and its 2pm and its going to be dark around 6pm. Temps are running about 75 and will cool down to 40 shortly after dark. You have what ever gear you normally carry with you. What do you do? Would the people you ride with know what to do? have you made a plan before you ride? [/QUOTE]
