I'd be real careful about cutting locks/chains/fences. In the eyes of
the law you're a trespasser, and some landowners take that real
seriously even without finding a cut lock/chain/fence. Finding the
landowner via the sheriff sounds like your safest bet.

One suggestion I have received is a heavy duty bolt cutter
along with a new lock and set of keys.
Appreciate the info about the locks etc. but am also interested in any
other items unrelated to the locked gate that most people carry.
Ropes, come along, etc.
This topic has come up before. Search the archives.
Start with a checklist of all the parts and disassembly/assembly tools
that are supposed to be in the trailer and any instructions or notes
about trailing.
I would make sure you have lots of things to help derig at nigh.
Headlamps, insect repellent, etc. beyond anything carried in the
glider land out kit.
Somebody recently suggested to me of hiding a spare set of your car
keys in/on the trailer for those times you forget to leave the keys on
the ground. Obviously only useful if other people know they are there
or you can get in touch with them.
