Crewbag Contents. This is everything that goes in my crewbag!

	I mostly use this on multiday rides. For most one day rides I don't bother sending out a bag. I usually don't have a crew so over the years have worked it out so I have everything I could possibly need in my bag without a lot of extra stuff that doesn't get used. It might look like a lot of stuff, but it packs down well, takes little space, and everything is lightweight. The heaviest items are the horse feed stuff.
	The crewbag is in the upper left hand corner. From left to right: Feed pan, apples, carrots, 2 black foldable buckets, 3 baggies of feed {oats, complete feed, equine senior, what my horse doesn't eat I usually take on the trail and he eats it then}, horse blanket, first aid kit, electrolytes.
	Contents: horse blanket, rainsheet or rump rug (depends upon the weather conditions), pre-made electrolyte syringes, first aid kit {orange}, rain gear {yellow}, toiletries bag {purple}, easyboots {size 0, 1, 2} with Easyfoam kit {blue bag} w/ set of foam, cups, stir spoon, rubber gloves, 1 flathead, 1 slotted screwdriver w/ duct tape; washrag, AA batteries, scoop. I don't need to ride with a scoop at home so often forget to put it on the saddle in the morning of an e-ride. It doesn't take up any space because I stuff the rain gear bag inside of it.
	This is how the horse setup looks. You can unzip the front face of the bag where the flake of hay goes, or take the hay out of the bag if you'd like. This makes it neat for traveling. Hay doesn't get everywhere!
	The 2 black collapsible buckets fold down and fit inside of the purple feed pan. Then this fits inside the 2nd large size compartment in the crewbag. You can fit a fairly large flake of hay in the bag.
	here I am putting everything back inside the bag, the horses feed pan, collapsible water buckets, horse snacks, easyboots, stuff sacks of stuff, horse blanket.
	First aid kit contains: Bandana, triangular bandage, arm sling, antihistamine, presc. medications, bandages, 4x4's, vetwrap, gauze, survival blanket, tape, scissors, benadryl cream, triple antibiotic ointment, bug repellent, packaged maxi-pad, instant heat packs, wound dressing.....
	And it all fits into this little stuff sack. I actually carry most of these same items with me when I ride in my saddle packs but have learned that it never hurts to have an extra, and if I use up what I have with me on the saddle I can replace it out of the crewbag. If I do end up with a crew they sure do enjoy having a chair to sit in and any of the other personal items that are in the bag. {I'm not telling anybody where I put the chocolate!}
	The first aid sack, electrolytes and baggies of horse feed all fit into the outer pouch.
	On top of the other stuff in the 2nd large compartment in the crewbag goes the raingear that is in the yellow stuff sack and then it's put inside the orange scoop. The raingear includes a waterproof poncho with a hood, a light rain jacket, large trash bag and gloves. If it looks like it might rain I will also send the horses rain cover.
	This bag has T.P., sunscreen, desitin, a nail file, babywipes, and silicone in it.
	All the stuff put into the toiletries bag. It stuffs down to this small and fits in on of the outer zippered pouches on the crewbag. The nail file is often handy for diggng out bee stings. Ouch!
	Here everything is now inside of the crewbag. You can see the purple top of the toiletries bag sticking out. On the left is a washrag and a can of bug spray that I send if we might need it. I can spray it on the washrag and wipe onto the horse if they get really bothered.
	Here is the full crewbag sitting on top of a haybag. You can see that even full of everything in the above photos (and, I don't bring all of those things, like I won't send the big blanket if the weather is nice, etc.), it's still not too big to handle. I think anyway, that this fits within the Crew Union standards! {bg} (you'll read the list of Crew Union demands in the October '03 Endurance News!)
	This shows the crewbag with the little fold up chair {$4.88 at Wal Mart) attached to the top. I use a dog collar {$1 store), shoelaces and a caribbeaner on the outside of the bag for attaching the chair and/or anything else. The bag is easy to carry even for somebody like me with a previously broken clavicle. All I usually do for each ride is put in new hay or horse feed in baggies (usually just keep refilling the same ones) and then decide if I need to send a blanket, rainsheet or lunch for myself. There is still plenty of room to fit things, but I think I have everything I need in here. Most of the items are pretty light so the bag doesn't weigh a ton.
