EMERGENCY/SURVIVAL KIT

An emergency survival kit should contain items to help keep you alive should you become stranded or separated from your crew. Each crew member must carry a personal survival kit and the crew must have a crew survival kit.

Each rider must carry at a minimum:

• 1 GPS unit with all pertinent hand-held information pre-loaded. Don't forget to record the truck location before taking off. Use the MOB (man overboard) function at least.
• Hand-held radio with an extra battery. Make sure radio is turned on before departure. (Remember that it is not possible to hear radio traffic on or near a running snowmachine.)
• Any job-specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needed for the task planned for that day’s work.
• Helmet for each crew member

At a minimum, each crew Emergency/ Survival Kit will contain:

• A folding saw
• Gas stove
• 30 oz. fuel bottle with white gas
• 4 qt. aluminum fast heating kettle
• 1 - 8' plastic bag

• Fire Starter sticks
• Emergency food bars
• Cocoa and coffee crystals
