    Emergency repair gear for the Alaskan Bush

    Emergency repair gear for the Alaskan Bush.

    As an Alaskan hunter/ ATV rider here is the list of items that I make sure to always have with me on the trail.

    First: is RESCUE Tape, this stuff is amazing and worth every cent! It is self adhering and has a high temp and high pressure rating. (I will pull photos from the place I acquire these objects.)

    Second: Safety wire, this is typically used in heavy equipment and for aircraft but you can make almost any thing you need with it. Hose Clamps, tiedowns, and as a super heavy stitching material. I use .032 or .041.

    Third: Clamp Tight tool. Use this to make those clamps with the safety wire. There is lots of videos on how to use it.

    Fourth: Vampliers pliers. These are awesome as they are designed to grab the top of a screw or bolt as they uses a patented vertical and horizontal serration pattern to clamp onto screws (even if they are completely stripped) and remove them!

    Fifth: Zip ties. Now not the cheep ones! I like the ones with a stainless steel locking tab and the ones that are reusable so in those pesky broken latches you can take them off and not cut them.

    I do get all of these at Aircraft Spruce if you are looking for them.
