FW: [RC] what's in your saddle bags?/Vetwrap - Mike Sherrell
Vetwrap -- I used to carry that until I tried to use it. Couldn't
unroll it, seemed like it had merged into a unified whole. Does anybody know how
to unroll year-old Vetwrap? It would be useful when we are in a thistle
neighborhood.

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).

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.
