rmc_olderthandirt said:Tools to take with you? Depends on how far from the truck you will be and what sitting there while your buddy (you do have a buddy, right?) goes back for tools.
When I know that I am likely to be miles from camp I will carry the following
Screw drivers (flat & philips)
Spark plug wrench
spare plug
8mm, 10mm, & 12 mm wrenches
adjustable wrench
small roll of electrical tape (duct tape is too bulky....)
A few spare nuts and bolts
a small coil of galvanized wire
tie wraps
Back at camp I have a big tool box with all sorts of stuff. In addition to the basic tools I have
3 tire irons
spare tubes
patch kit
12v air compressor
"tire slime" (for the slow leaks)
a box full of spare nuts and bolts
oil (two stroke and regular)
oil/gas mix jar
Bike stand
a heavy tarp to spread on the ground so I don't have to work in the dirt
WD-40
Chain Lube
gasket material
a box full of spare parts
a few different rubber hose sizes (small for gas line, large for pipe coupling, etc)
Basically, whenever I work on my bike I pay attention to what tools/supplies I needed to do a job and then I make sure that I have those tools/supplies with me. I carry with me on the bike only those that I need to limp back to camp, but back at camp I can pretty much rebuild the bike. Parts that I changed on a preventative measure become spares (chain, sprockets, chain guide, clutch cable, etc)
I have a couple big plastic tote boxes that I keep all the bike stuff in so when it is time to go I just load up the whole box.

He did specify that he wanted to know what to leave at the truck. Of course, he should find the advice on what carry into the trees very useful as well.adam728 said:As for the original poster, I'm not sure why you would need to oil the chain during a ride.

Yah I dont have a buddy at the moment, which sucks! Stupid friends sold their stuff!
I wasn't aware that there was space under the seat, good to know.
