Alright, the first time I went out with my sleds, I had nothing in my pockets.
Thanks god nothing happen.
Later down the road I went for a multiple day trip and I had a very minimalistic tool set. I broke my steering column in the field, and thanks for my tool set and the one of my buddy we manage to "fix"(ish..) and got back home.
On another multi-days trip I delaminated a belt and seized. It was a lot of work to clean up sufficiently the clutch and lot of luck that the engine re-started and stay alive back to the truck. I had a medium tool kit at the time.
For this year, I think I want to carry almost all I need to strip down the sled on the spot and fix it if I have too! Point being is that it might be less tools than I initially though.
So here is my list so far:
Screwdrivers:
Exchangeable multi bits screwdriver: set of Hexa, Torx, Flat, Square, Philips bits.
Mini flat and philips whole screwdrivers.
Pliers:
Cutting, Long nose, Adjustable pliers, adjustable wrench, locking, rubber pipe wrench.
Wrench:
6, 8, 10, 12, 14X2 mm
1/8, 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 9/32, 11/32, 1/2, 9/16
Sockets:
Same as above plus extension
Drill
Fiskars Powergrip hand drills + assortment of drill bits.
Raw materials:
Steel wire, hose clamps small medium, large, set of bolts and nuts, small aluminum plate.
Electrical:
Wire, connectors, sparks plug.
Tow rope :face-icon-small-hap just in case.
