| I know people who carry an entire hub/bearing/seal assembly as a spare with the tools to change it when they go on a trip. Keep it pakaged in a plastic bag and you are ready to go should you blow bearings out on the road (look up Donny Hunt's story from last year). When we traveled up there we did it in caravan style, like 4 or 5 truck/boat combos. Had someone blown bearing we'd have had plenty of help but no spare parts.
I also lost a hub cover on a local trip yesterday. Had to stop and get a replacement while on the way. For the 5 bucks it costs, I'll have a couple spares from now on too.
Extra bearing grease in a pump gun???
When I was up there I also carried a small waterproof container that had all the stuff I'd need for an overnight island stay. Matches, a couple pieces of snack type food, space blanket, water/Gatorade, and a knife/hatchet combo. Just in case you couldn't make it back to the lodge.
Also might want to carry a small tube of superglue (or stitches), bandages, bandaids, ibuprofen/aspirin, sunscreen and sun block lip balm too. I always have that stuff in my boat.
