- shovel, axe & snow shoes if going off trail
- extra gas

Fuses
Flashlight
First aid
Matches
Candles

Nothing, if I am riding with Yamaha or polaris sleds, but if I am riding with some Cats or Doos then I bring a tow rope. The one thing I wish people would leave at home who ride with me is their cellphones.

Got to disagree with ya there BBW. The serious accident I'm sure I've mentioned before about 10 years ago when a guy in our group slammed head on into a tree and is alive today albeit with some brain injury is alive because I was the only one who carried my cell phone with us. Because I was able to quickly call 911 and provide our location a chopper from Ft. Drum medivac'd him out and got to him in time to save his life. If we had had to wait until someone got somewhere to call he would be dead today.
 
One thing that I try to do is run all my electronics from the same size battery. My camera, GPS, flashlight, etc all use AA batteries so if I use up my spare set I still have two or three other devices that I can steal from and it saves space if I don't have to carry other sizes. When it gets really cold they die quickly.
 
Folding saw,waterproof matches,rope,booster cables,GPS/extra batteries,coolant/oil,flashlight,food/gatorade,cell phone,compass(GPS can die :o| ).
