You are the only RUclips channel I sit down to watch with pen and paper in hand because you're always dishing out some knowledge! Thanks for taking the time to run through this. Whomever taught you how to be prepared must be proud!
Used my bolt cutters a couple of weeks ago to gain access to a forest service meadow to setup a helicopter LZ so we could air evac out a badly injured victim of a head on crash. Never leave home without your special key!
You have tools in your rig more than what I have in my house 😁
Hatchet in the kitchen box/bag would be a good place. You'll probably only use it to make a fire in camp and probably involve either comfort or cooking.
Great video! Thank for taking the time to share what you take out on the trails, I have been doing this for a while and its nice to see what others are doing and how they are string the goods. I ALWAYS learn something new! Keep truckin and stay safe out there.
Absolutely one of your best videos I learned so much from this Thank you guys
So when I was drilling water wells near Antigua, my crew always carried what they referred to as "Guatemalan duck tape"... It's an old bike inner tube that you can use for all sorts of things, hose repairs, make shift gaskets, wear pads/vibration resistance, and much more. I always carry it with me, it doesn't weigh much, and when you need it you are super happy you have it. I still call it Guatemalan duck tape in homage to the incredible people I worked with down there.
I once knocked the entire spring hanger off the rear end of a 1967 Land Rover deep in the heart of West Virginia (cue banjo...). I was with a couple of other trucks and I had a chain and highlift to drag the spring where it need it to be. I also had two batteries, jumper cables, a welding shield and all purpose rod. I borrowed another battery and McGyvered that thing back together right there. It got me out of the woods and 500 miles home. Added bonus: battery welding on the trail double punches your 'man card' ;-) That ONE time I needed it made carrying those little odd bits of steel, rod, and the mask completely worth it!
Nice family. Father is good natured even tempered guy.
Excellent information here. I was truly waiting for this to help me narrow in on the essentials.
Good stuff to think about! I have a few things to add and to rethink about having in my tool/supply arsenal. Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work. Tie wire is something else to consider. 👍🏻
Great video. Lots for me to think about for adding tools.
i just watched this man name all his tools.... and i loved every minute of it!!!
Just subscribed to the channel and enjoy what you do. Really appreciate your family being so involved in the adventures and maybe our paths will cross. Grew up in El Paso so I really like the trips to the New Mexico. Keep up the great work and safe travels.
Kevin, a most excellent video. 1, Starting fluid (one second) burst, in conjunction with a ratchet strap. A little spray, wait a second. Then use an ignition source.
Damm, I like this video. I'd like to make the following suggestions: Those snap-ring plyers with the removable tips have only caused frustration for me, get a set (minimum 4) with permanent tips; I recently did, and I can recommend them greatly. The tape measure should have metric as well, IKEA has them if one finds them hard to find. The truck is METRIC and millimeters are very handy for me. I have used 6" C-clamps (5" and even 4") to clamp together a broken leaf spring in the past, a winch was involved too in that off road rescue (not my vehicle). I will be adding a funnel to my kit. Always good to see what other people carry. What was not shown on this video is the parts that are carried to fix the trail carnage. Oh, files come in handy too to customize any tool or part that does not seem to fit the moment. I also have the same tribulations of carrying SAE on a Metric truck.
Love your tool kit one of the best I’ve seen so many people try to cut back on the weight of the tool kit and I fully understand that, however if it’s something you could possibly need it’s worth carrying because there’s nothing worse than being out there and not being able to fix it. There is one thing I do however carry in my tool kit that I just don’t see anyone else carries that would be a flare nut wrench. This wrench is essential for fixing a brake line, for my truck I need a 10 mm wrench so I carry one . I have not had to use it on my truck but have used it on two of my friends trucks I was the only one out of everyone who had one in a tool kit. It might be worth checking out to see if everybody out there needs one.
I tend to bring a cordless drill on trips too. I would bring the drill loaded with one freshly charged battery. Didn't need extra batteries because the tool would never be used enough on a trip to run down a fresh battery. That was my thinking. I barely ever used the thing, but on one trip I needed it for something and was so pleased with myself that I had my drill. But the freshly-charged battery was dead as a doornail. Some other tool had rested on the trigger while traveling and completely drained it. So now I always take the battery out for travel.
Love the tool kit. The wire strippers you have can also be used to eliminate the scotch locks in some cases, you can place it in the middle of the wire and squeeze and it will open up the insulation and expose the wire, then use a nail or something suitable to spread the wires, insert your new wire, twist and tape up. I like that way because it is neater than those bulky connectors.
