Well to me anyway, picked up 91 venture in real great shape ,want to do some spring beaver trapping,just know I'm going to be stuck a time or two,I haven't rode a snowmobile in probably 20 years, I have a rope-along could any of you give me some pointers on rigging, length of rope I should get ,any other necessary tools, I have small chainsaw,I usually trap on four wheeler in the fall some ponds are four to five miles from truck, don't want to walk if I can help it.

Murphy's Law; what ever tool you need to get the job done get's forgotten on the work bench at home....

We get a crust on the snow here in march-good travelling in the am.sometimes get stuck on the way out if too late in pm.
If your in the bush 50 feet of rope should be plenty.

Thanks guys.

A tree strap with clevis ring, rope, and come-along will get you out of most jams. The tree strap and clevis ring give you a spot to tie the rope to with a looped knot for length adjustment, when you get caught in over flow or slush. Shovel is nice, but pretty cumbersome to carry on a snomo, so is usually at home when you get stuck.

Our snow gets pretty deep,so always have snowshoes on the machine or in the sleigh.A snowshoe makes a passable shovel for moving snow when you bog the machine.

A 10 mm socket and ratchet as well as a wrench to change spark plugs is a good idea, the 10 mm stuff is so when the pull start rope breaks at the knot you can fix it right away, a disposable lighter is a good idea to as is " mule tape " the go along with the rope along .
