My local Wal-mart has travel size packets of duct tape.? I also have a small roll of electrical tape in there.? I also have an extra lead rope (really light).? ? On my pommel I attach several dog collars.? You can clip stuff to them and I have used them on several occasions for tack repair (my own and others). Rhonda ?

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.
