Good add at the end with the emergency blanket. It should be mentioned however that it's actually more important in WARM weather. In cold weather a motorcyclist or a hiker normally has warm gear on already. Most hypothermia actually happens in the summer. A short day ride or hike that starts with lightweight gear in 80 degree weather at the trail head can become an emergency bivouac at 40 degrees in the rain on the trail.

Re the SPOT device. Always wear it on your body and never leave it on the bike just to save batteries. If you fall down a ravine and get separated from your bike you may not be able to reach it. A few riders in the USA have died totally unnecessarily just for the sake of leaving their SPOT on the bike so it can charge the batteries. Also always carry a decent sized survival knife where you can access it. Obviously you need to have a safe carry system so you wont get injured by the knife in a fall, I keep mine clipped in a kydex sheath inside my dirt bike boot. Useful if you get trapped under your bike by your gear in a river crossing or get hung up on a step hill side after a fall and need to cut yourself free.

Great list! Stainless safety wire in the tool kit is as handy as JB Weld and cable ties. I wrap electrical tape and duct tape on the handle of my adjustable wrench. On the survival side, a water filter straw or small Sawyer water filter is very handy. A hydration sack is a light and compact way to carry water. Emergency rations are compact calories with great shelf life that will give you the energy you need to hike out if needed. Don't plan on hiking in motocross boots. Teva sandles and sock liners inside heavy hiking socks is a good lightweight and compact hiking solution.

I've added to my kit a short length - a few inches - of 1/2" diameter wood dowel to which I have wrapped sections next to one another of electrical tape, duct tape, and blue painter's tape, (I suppose the tape could also be wrapped on other tools, say like tire spoons). Plenty of each for the type of uses they might come in handy for; much more compact than carrying individual rolls of any of them. I've also added an external Red Cross symbol to whatever bag I have my first aid kit in, so someone else might spot it if I'm not conscious nor able to retrieve the first aid kit myself. I also bring a spare key. Takes little space but invaluable if you end up needing it far from home. Finally, and of lesser importance, on the long trips I bring a spare helmet visor. Another item that is really useful if you need it and are far from civilization...learned the need for this on one of my trips!

Living in Golden BC you have to be ready for anything. I pretty well matched your list plus I have a couple of more essential items. Toilet paper, a few bungee cords, Back Roads (forestry rds) Map - hard copy, sweater, food like power bars, quick snacks - always in the bag, 2 way radio for the Forestry Rds and a knife strapped to the outside of the bike frame. I also attach my bear spray on the outside of my saddle bags. I figure it is when you are stopped taking a break, in the middle of the mountains, no engine running, by yourself, that you will be surprised by a bear or cougar and have only seconds to react - hence those items on the outside with quick releases. I encounter bears on the back roads quite often and they usually scurry away from the noise of the bike. Its when you are eating your lunch by a stream that they sneak up on you,,,,,,Just kidding around, you should never be afraid of the wild, just be prepared for it.

Before leaving the house door I picked up couple tooths of garlic, off the counter and dropped them into my backpack, that moment on the beach my mind told me, take one and chew, gave me enough heat and power to walk to the tent where I could rest for the night and not R.I.P.

That’s why you carry some drink mix powder or the newer style tiny little squirt bottles of SUGAR FREE flavoring like MIO. Never EVER put a sugar containing drink mix in anything but an easily washable cup. Your canteen or camelback will grow bacterial sludge overnight that’ll taste awful and give you a horrific case of diarrhea.

CB radio too big and limited range. Get an FCC license (easy and cheap), buy a DMR* radio, which is inexpensive, and speak with people all over the world. "Ham" (amateur radio) operators have "married" the internet with radio, to produce radios with clear digitalized voice, as opposed to analog. I was at Papa John's getting pizza (what else?) when the counter girl asked about the walkie-talkie sized DMR radio I was carrying. I got on the air, requesting a response for a demonstration. The counter girl listened to me having a brief conversation with a fellow in Germany, while I was in south Florida. Cool. Very cool. CB is very old tech.

Ahh, Good one! But for a solo trip we were probably thinking there’s nobody to pour gas from if your way out there alone. Thanks for commenting though.

Sorry, but you definitely nerfed the need for a REAL Emergency medical kit. If your kit doesn't have tourniquet's, splints, and clotting agents of some sort, you shouldn't be out more than 30 minutes from EMS. If you don't know how to use those tools to save a life, get training., but, until you do, carry a compressive trauma kit anyway, because it could be your life that gets saved by someone who does. Carry the kit in a well-marked location that can be accessed. I carry mine in a locked panier, with the key in the lock. A lanyard safe-keeps the key and if it gets broken in a crash, a simple flat head screwdriver can turn the lock, or the broke off key can. I don't want to be Debbie downer, but the half cubic foot a kit takes up at a pound, really, its a no brainer, like carrying water. And, because you likely will never use it, remember to replace things like clotting agents that have a shelf life. A splint or tourniquet don't expire. Remember, stop the bleeding, ensure airway, CAB- circulation, airway, and breathing. Hopefully your trauma kit will be a waste of space your entire life. But, remember, in the military, I will use YOUR bandages on you first. Carry them. And coagulat6uion products, tourniquet's, and splints!

Note that many coagulation products like quick clot have expiration dates and they may not work as well or at all depending on their storage environment after they’ve expired. Others like chitoguaze have a ridiculously long shelf life. Each type has its pluses and minuses. Choose wisely.
