Before you laugh to much. I vacum seal up my shorts, socks and tshirts in sets in bags one for each day. I seal up one extra pair of jeans.
I use a vacum saver it does a good job and when done the clothes are almost rock hard. They don't get wet and in my two stroke days they didn't stink like oil smoke.
I also carry $-it paper, first aid kit, duct tape, electrical tape, some extra wire, emergancy blanket. Drier rope (lightweight but very strong and stretchy its also waterproof), couple bungy cords, compass, water proof matches, firestarter, spare fuses for my accesarys, spare gloves and a toque.
On me I carry a cellphone, very sharp knife (them damn dull ones will cut you every time) small flashlight (maglite) lighter.
On the sled I have a colapsable saw, few extra tools, vise grips, cresant, spare belt, plugs, GPS
Toiletries and a pair of shoes for the bar or resterant. Boots should be drying out in your room.
This all fit in my Cat bags along with my cable lock and a 66 of whiskey for the room not the trail. The Cat bags where a bit bigger but I have the trunk bag on My Warrior so I'm still fine. The spare keys I gave to my bud and he gave me his.
Thats all I can think of.

When you plan the trip know where all the snowmobile dealers are along your route.Hopefully you will not need to stop at any. Make up a set of 10ga. jumper cables if riding a 4 stroke. I beleive everthing else we take was covered.
No matter how little you take on your first trip, you will only take 1/2 that much on the second trip.

By my third backpack trip I had refined what I took.
I use Coleman vacuum bags, they you roll them to get of the air. They are stronger than zip lock bags.

The satellite phone is a small price to pay for piece of mind. If your going "way out", regular cell phones may not cut it in an emergency. The satellite phone and a gps are required. We rented one a few years ago for our bagger trip through Ontario and I think it was around $100 for the week.
Good Luck.

Don't laugh guys but you might want to ask the little lady if you can have a few tampons. In case you get strainded on a cold night,dip them in your gas,they sure help getting a fire started.

ONE MORE THING..........IF YOU GO EARLY IN THE SEASON OR LATE IN THE SEASON WERE SNOW CONDITIONS MIGHT GET SPARCE ONCE IN A WHILE, BRING AN EXTRA CARBIDE RUNNER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GOT AFTERMARKET SKIS AND THEY ARE NOT REPLACEABLE VERY EASY I HAVE SEEN GUYS TRY TO FINISH A 1000 MILE TRIP WITH A BENT RUNNER(FROM HITTING A ROCK).............NOT FUN.
Dont forget the TP, chap stick and aspirin.

You guys really need some snow when your resurrect a thread from 2 years ago. 
I guess I should report back that I followed the advice from the people that posted back in 2003 and it was spot on. The only thing I have modified is that I bring some cologne and only two different shirts for the evening. And Sasquatch is right, pack your stuff in zip lock or vacuum seal bags. It keeps them dry and you can get more into your bags.
For those that haven't done a bagger trip, it is blast!

Did anyone mention a handhold gps? Very handy, especially if you get off the beaten trail.
