Prevention
Water
Water is so important that you need to carry it regardless of the
duration of your ride. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can creep
up suddenly and can take you out of commission. If you become
dehydrated, you could fi nd yourself physically unable to safely
operate your ATV.
Identifi cation
If something does happen to you, the emergency personnel will want
to know who you are and whom to contact. It's possible you may be
in no condition to give them that information. Put your I.D. in your
pocket before you ride. Without it, you're anonymous.
Money
It may be necessary to make an urgent phone call.
Maps
Maps may be unnecessary when you're familiar with the area. But
when you're riding on unfamiliar trails, it's good to know where you
are, what's coming up, and how to get back.
Emergency Kit with Flashlight and First Aid Kit
You'll need several items in your
Emergency Kit including a fl ashlight.
The matches will come in handy if
you need to start a fi re to stay warm.
Flares are appropriate for signaling
help. A fi rst aid kit is very important if an injury of some type should
happen. A good First Aid Kit should include bandages, antiseptic
spray, gauze, tape, etc.
