I had a good laugh out of bringing a friend along to eat :thumb:
I mostly wheel alone, not even a passenger. I have no choice sometimes. I have had to sleep out a night and call for recovery help on numerous occasions. Lessons learned are:
- Pack all you can like everyone here says. Including water and a water filter if possible. Tools and spare parts are great, but don't forget lighting... Headlamps for recovery and hiking are best.
- Tell someone where you are going and when you should be back.
- Bring a communication device but never rely on it. A personal locator are a bonus, PLB's over "Spot" if possible. Make sure it is in reach in the event of a roll over.
Bring hiking shoes, extra clothes and any other survival equipment... the list is vast.
When I crawl on rock I tend to stay within a hiking distance.
Breaking down sucks.. Especialy when there is no one that can pull you out. Learn and check your Rig before each ride.
Just a few suggestions,
Cheers,
