Does anyone else bring or have this with at least one of the people that you ride with? All my riding buddies think its a waste of space for me to carry fire extinguishers and my infantry mans medic bag with me at all times.

I think it's a great idea, I've seen to many accidents and things happen to not have it, especially a extinguisher

It can't hurt, its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it!
That's why a lit of us carry around a load of tools, I work on it often but its there when I need to.

with the way my engine leaks oil i always have my fire extinguisher close at hand, got a bit of tools and something even as simple as a screwdriver has saved me countless times lol even on our 1 night trips i bring a big 5 gallon water jug and my friends always ask why, up till we went out and it was 115 degrees! then they were sure happy i had all that extra water lol

Most parks won't let you ride without an extinguisher and I keep one as well as a first aid kit in all my vehicles. My old ranger caught on fire with my wife driving and we didn't have one and it could have been saved. Carried one ever since.

I have an extinguisher mounted for easy access but does not hinder cargo room at all.
I also carry a light duty and EMT duty first aid kits
I also carry full tools to fix anything out on the trails

this was a list i made a little while ago, and have added a lot to it since. i have thought about a fire extinguisher but im not sure. i think it would be worth haveing just incase but i dont have the money or a decent place for it. but i do have lots of safty, recovery, and just extra tools in mine.

Medic and first aid are definately a plus especially if you're a parent and like to take your kids with you. Can never have too many band aids! Lol
