Whether you’re heading out on a short jaunt or packing up for an extended journey, it is important to make sure you have everything that you need to make your ride as enjoyable and safe as possible. One of the most important aspects of ensuring that you are prepared for anything is having a well-stocked storage compartment on your all terrain vehicle (ATV). Here’s what we recommend packing before every ride.
What to Bring
Tools and Supplies
Every ATV should be equipped with a basic toolkit, including pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches, and adjustable clamps. These tools can be used to repair minor repairs on the trail, such as tightening loose screws or patching up small holes. It is also a good idea to bring along some duct tape and cable ties in case you need to temporarily secure something until you can get back home
Safety Gear
Safety should always come first when riding an ATV. Make sure your storage compartment has a helmet stored in it at all times. A pair of gloves will also help protect your hands if you ever need to do any repairs while on the go. Additionally, it is always wise to bring along extra layers of clothing just in case the weather changes unexpectedly.
Food and Water
Whenever you’re out on the trails for an extended period of time, it is important to stay hydrated and nourished so that you don’t tire yourself out too quickly. Pack some snacks like granola bars or trail mix that are easy to grab on the go. Also, be sure to bring along several bottles of water so that you can stay hydrated during long rides.
A well-stocked ATV storage compartment ensures that no matter what might happen while out on the trails, whether its a mechanical issue or simply being unprepared for inclement weather, you will be prepared for anything that comes your way. So before heading out next time, double check your storage compartment and make sure it contains all these essential items! With this checklist by your side, there won’t be anything standing between you and enjoying your off-road adventures!
