Since things are kind of slow here, I wonder what ya'll find you just can't live without while riding.

Me, well, I was never a boyscout, but I should've been. I tend to carry everything, including a 'kitchen sink'. 

Here's my list:  mini 1st aid kit--the band aids are used most

                       chap stick
                       bandana--use as a bandage, blow nose, use as a sponge if the real one falls off or didn't get put on.....

                       vetwrap

                       old dish towel--same uses as the bandana, but I've also used one folded up & vetrapped on to replace a lost shoe.
                                             The horse was lame after losing the shoe & too much hoof, but was comfortable enough to ride out

                                              of the backcounrty with his 'slipper' on.

                       super glue (the little single use 4 pack)

                       zip ties--for fixing tack

                       swiss army knife

                       hoof pick

                       collapsible water dish

                       snacks

                       water

                       compass

                       lighter/matches

                       one of those little emergency blankets

 

That's all I can remember without going down to the tack area & checking. Sounds like a lot, but it actually packs well.
