[QUOTE="Neversurfaced, post: 14214, member: 251"] Fire source, a half dozen or so energy bars, some idolization tabs if you like, a map of the area and a compass / signaling mirror, emergency bag (better than a space blanket because you can crawl inside), extra medication if you take any, a basic first aid kit and a index card with all your vital info (emergency contacts, allergies, blood types, pre-existing medical conditions). A cell phone (if you have coverage) or SPOT if you don't can save you a few cold nights... I think bike failure is more likely than anything. A busted chain can ruin your whole day and a chain braker & master links are light. I usually only ride solo in OHV parks (where someone will find me eventually), but if I'm going 'off the map' I often carry a 40 S&W DAO semi-auto. EDIT: Oh yeah, I also carry about 25' of 1" tubular webbing (the kind rock climbers use) for towing bikes or a hundred other uses. You can use it to secure a splint, help build a lean-to, tie up a meth head, hang game, or (if you add a couple of well-placed carabiners) you can use a mechanical advantage for extracting a bike...
