    having some coco and a warm meal on the side of a cold mountain is a game changer, Sure it’s a little much but it brings up your mentality and just makes you feel so much better all around.

      Yes! Hot coco saved my life😅

    A couple other things I carry on top of what you already mentioned ; An extra long sleeve base layer for those situations you sweat thru trying to get untstuck , extra pair of socks with two vegetable bags, ones you put your veggies in at the store , to put over your dry socks before you put them back in your wet boots for an unplanned overnight . Bags can also be used as ice packs with snow . A can of smoked oysters and a lil rice ( raw ), electrolyte packets , a couple tea bags( hot tea would help on a cold overnight ) . I carry a small metal cup to melt snow and cook , instead of a jetboil . A SOL survival zip up insulated emergency bivy would help keep an injured rider comfortable while waiting for help . Three emergency blankets , great to make an impromptu shelter . Keep up the stoke !

    Light gage wire, a bit heavier than bread tie twisties. We've tied busted suspension pieces together with "bailing wire" to limp back to the truck.

    Just want to put this out there for anyone interested in NXT LVL...These people are so cool. Just spent a good deal of time with Dan and Irena (hopefully I spelled that correctly.) Super good people. Kinda neat to meet 'celebrities ' in their own right. Certainly celebrities in the snowmobile world. Incredibly knowledgeable about what they do and sell. Most importantly though was the fact they had genuine personalities. Visiting with these folks is as natural as it comes. Super impressed! Thank you Dan and Irena!! Awesome experience at your business.
