    I take saws, wedges, ax, and some extra stuff I leave in the truck. I carry a carb adjustment screw driver and screnches.

    Saw
    Scrench
    ATV
    Trailer
    A cup of coffee (if I'm cutting in the AM)
    PPE
    Chain

    That's it. Everything else is a quick ATV ride back home. I usually run out of room on the trailer before I run the saw out of gas or oil.

    I bring most of what everyone else does but I also include a first aid kit and a cell phone for worse case scenarios.

    Same here Bob. Wood cutting gear… and, the cel phone. My bride has made that the #1 thing I have to have with me… she doesn't even care if I forget fuel or wrenches… can you imagine that?

    That way you can call your wife and have her bring the fuel and wrenches. I'm sure that's why.

I also take a cant hook, extra gas n oil of course, some ripe and a block, some chain and a come along, an axe and a splitting maul and wedges. And my boys as long as I'm not planning on taking down any big trees.

    Normally I only take 2 saws, few hand tools, safety glasses, and gloves. I cut at the city brush site a few miles from the house so no biggie if I forget something. First aid kit is always in the SUV along with a phone in my pocket. If I plan on cutting a lot I drag a trailer with a lot more supplies.

    During the winter I converted an aluminum toolbox I had laying around to use as a grab-box for my wood cutting tools. In it are spare chains, 2 screnches, safety glasses, ear plugs/muff, some wedges, sharpening files, and a gallon of oil and gas. I always make sure everything is in it so I can just grab it and go without thinking about it. I either take 1 or 2 saws depending on how large the wood is I'm getting into, and sometime a sledge as well. In my truck I also always have a full Craftsmen tool set, first aid kit (including super glue), both pulling and ratchet straps, and of course, toilet paper.

    I added an ATV trailer this year.
    rough muddy trail to the new area, cleaner wood, more wood per trip.
