Even when you try to avoid trouble, it will find you.

You may think you are prepared for everything, but that is really impossible.

The word “Tractor” can refer to a lifted Can-Am SXS with portals and 48” tractor tires.

Sometimes people help who, who you would least expect.

Some folks will always think they know everything 😉

These ideas may not have helped in your situation.
So I don't have to go swimming or mudding to get the winch hook. I keep a 6' tree saver strap connected to the winch and tied up on the rack.
I have a wireless remote connected to the winch. Operate from afar.
I carry an extra 50' of winch rope, a 30' strap and a snatch block for the long hauls.

@reogem YOU are very well prepared and smart to carry “gear” to help you if needed.

You’re Right, gotta be prepared to take care of Yourself….maybe even someone else too if “they” need help

I don't ride solo very often. Usually with a few others. Even with others along it's good to have some tools of your own. The first tools to put in or on your machine should be to insure that you can get back safely e.g., WATER, fire starter, extra clothing, real first aid stuff not aspirins or little round band aides. I mean trauma stuff. When you have blood gushing out your SAF don't need an aspirin.
Also some food. I carry a 8x10 tarp because I got caught in a hail storm once also good for rain or shelter.
The recovery items listed above take up very little space.

There several thread on the forum detailing what folks carry on a ride.

When out alone I let someone know the area I'll be riding, so they know what time to send search and rescue if I'm not back on time.
