[Closed] riding alone.. what do you take with you in your pockets / bag?

Not quite - I do carry a kit in remoter areas but it is questionable how much difference you can really make with a kit you can carry easily. What can you do with a first aid kit for the person with a broken leg that you can't otherswise. Painkillers is about it. Everything else can be improvised

First aid kit might be useless for a broken leg, and I'd probably not want to move them unless conditions wee getting really nasty. But that's where the space blanket and survival sack come in, toasty warm and bright orange wile you wait for the rescue people.

A quick read of the 'worst ride ever' thread and 50% seem to involve getting caught out by crap weather. Whilst stopping might not be the right thing to do if you're capable of getting back to the car, at least if adds an option if things deteriorare further.
