I take a full roll. I see so much game, and such big trophy animals, that it scares the crap outta me.

Go to Princess Auto and get one of those small wrench sets for $6. The stock ATV tools are usually a bit lame. Instead of a toque I wear a bomber hat over a ball cap to cut the wind down on the old noggin. On colder days, a fleece scarf is nice. Lined/insulated/waterproof gloves are better than the gortex ones to stop the wind. I carry a can of that tire sealer goop, plus a tire plug kit, plus a Crappy Tire 12V pump - haven't had a flat yet, but they are common. A couple of rags to wipe of dew-covered seats, and a few pairs of nitrile gloves to keep your hands clean if you have to do a repair.

Pack spare fuel for that Scamaha 'cause they have small tanks and are less fuel efficient than Polar-asses.

Oh yeah, your BCWF membership should be carried at all times to save a $345 fine.

Add a spare spark plug to the list, and extra fuel if out cruising. You may not need the fuel if you plan your ride accordingly, but if you come across another hunter who didn't, they'll sure appreciate it!

First aid kit also.

extra fuses as well I learned me that lesson the hard way last year LOL...

This is not a troll or attempt to cause any uproar. It is just information as I have been advised. Check on the BCWF site and see what is written about the Liability in reguard to ATVs. There is no coverage when "joyriding",there is no coverage on "public Roads". I have been advised by Forestry that in the eyes of the "Law" FSRs are a public road. Therefore, not to start any debate or arguement, please,check with your local Forestry,RCMP or the BCWF before riding a FSR without valid Liability Insurance,wether fishing, hunting etc. The BCWF states that when listing what is covered. It will be a painfull,costly error.

[Fisher-Dude]

Ern, is that you?

Joyriding isn't covered. You must be fishin' or huntin' to be covered. However, your over-zealous FT3 Forestry buddy doesn't know his legislation. FSRs are NOT public roads for the 1,000th time.

Tell him to study the Forest & Range Practices Act:

Not a public highway 24
Despite section 42 of the Transportation Act, a road constructed or maintained under this Act, the Forest Act, the former Act as defined in section 1 of the Forest Act or the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act is not a public highway unless the Lieutenant Governor in Council declares it to be by an order in council that he or she may make under this Act.

And, from the Motor Vehicle Act:

"highway" includes
(a) every highway within the meaning of the Transportation Act,
(b) every road, street, lane or right of way designed or intended for or used by the general public for the passage of vehicles, and
(c) every private place or passageway to which the public, for the purpose of the parking or servicing of vehicles, has access or is invited,
but does not include an industrial road;

"industrial road" means industrial road as defined in the Industrial Roads Act, and includes a forest service road as defined in the Forest Act and land designated as a development road under section 8 (1) of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act;
