Good Afternoon
What would be your top 8 essential items  to carry on the trail in case of breakdown?

I need to put together a tool kit for my 800 and am curious to see what get brought along as in " must haves ".

On my Z I carry:
1-Tire Repair. Which consists of:
   - Patches and glue, Plugs with their tools, a small scissor jack and a 12v compressor.
2- Basic hand tools which consist of:
   - 8,10,13,15,16mm end wrenches, 5-in-one driver, Leatherman, one vise-grip, zip ties and bailing wire.
3- The most important- 12' tow strap.

To the above list I would add a spray bottle filled with soapy water. Numerous times I have had to use it on my ride or someone else's when a leak developed in a tire and would not have be able to find it without without this.

Add to that a STEEL handled collapsible shovel, small axe, machete, people rope (non winch), and an extraction kit (which the shovel is part of).
the kit is a tree strap, a winch rope extension, a couple of extraction rings and spare shackles for rigging pull points and some soft shackles.

If Im going to be out for a few days I've got a solar battery maintainer and pocket sized jump boxes (they work) that I can take along.
