Use antenna flags and wear bright clothing to increase your visibility.
Use maps and compasses if you are riding in an unfamiliar area, particularly off-road. Make a mental note of landmarks; you may need them if you are stranded. If you are lost at night, do not move around. You will waste valuable fuel that you can use to ride to safety in the daylight.
Always carry a first aid pack with you.
Your vehicle repair kit should include the manufacturer's tool kit as well as some wire, tape, elastic cords, and, possibly, locking pliers and a tow rope.
Carry some snacks and a water supply with you.
Don't let youngsters ride full-sized ATVs.
Pre-ride inspection: Inspecting the condition of your ATV before each ride is very important to minimize the chance of injury and maximize the enjoyment of your ride. It also helps to ensure the long-term performance of your ATV. Follow the owner's guide for inspection and maintenance of your ATV. A well-maintained ATV will give you years of enjoyment.
Watch out for thin ice which may be camouflaged by snow.
Remember! You can RIDE further in one hour than you can WALK in an entire day.
