If you're going out for a big game or tournament, make sure to bring back-ups for everything. Back-up marker, hopper, tank, mask, pod pack, extra pods, extra parts if it's a quick fix, back-up shoes, back-up pants in case they rip, back-up jersey in case it rips, etc. Basically back-ups for everything you possibly can for those big games and tournaments.
o ring pick? i use a tooth flossing pick. last bag i got on sale were Oral-B Glide floss picks. they wont scratch anything. they are a little bit pliable to work into tiny spots too.
+1 for bondhus Allen keys, I've been a maintenance engineer for 20 years and have used them exclusively for 10 of them. They are the rolls Royce of Allen keys, virtually unbreakable, and very corrosion resistant. The ball ends are ground very precisely too. Best in the world.
Ive always had Eklind, theyre very nice. Used to work in a machine shop where we used lots of 1/2-13 bolts, so my 3/8 has been well used, including having a 6ft pipe used as a cheater bar daily for 2 years.
I keep one of the plastic ammo boxes in my kit. In it I keep a set of each metric and sae hex keys, needlenose pliers, channellocks plus rubber grippers, a few screwdrivers, a hook and pick set, PE grease, PE oil, purple Loctite, autococker valve tool, 6" adjustable wrench, wire strippers, snap ring pliers, cutter for macroline, a tank pressure tester, and an extra asa with short piece of macro sticking out for draining tanks I keep the O-rings and extra parts in a separate box Forget those stupid expensive microfibers, get a pack of 10 or 15 microfibers for $10, theres no reason to spend more than $10 on a single cloth
I carry a rubber tech mat for working on markers. Nothing sucks more than dropping a screw or an O-ring in a crack of a picnic table and never finding it again.
I do for everything else including batteries that aren't for paintball, but for my gun and hopper I buy their name brand packs. Try their prosecco sometime if you are over 21 btw!
I always bring an extra mask and tank if I can in case something happens to either one and I don't have money or time to get it fixed. I bring an extra thing of everything basically. I also always bring my extra extra stuff in case someone needs something so you can sell some of the stuff you don't really need.
Hey I have a dangerous power g5 and was wondering what upgrades I can get and what brands I can use also your vids are sick keep it up I absolutely love them
The best upgrade for a G5 is the turbine bolt then a new barrel (V4 eigenbarrel). The turbine bolt should allow it to shoot mid grade paint and maybe some higher end stuff.
Hey there! Not video related, but its a doubt I had recently Does color matter on your equipment? I mean, is that an important drive to pay more money for the same product just with different colors?
I try to keep it all black, its usually the cheapest color and it is way less noticeable when you are playing in the woods or even on an air ball field. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in air ball, but it for sure does in the woods.
some people will pay more for certain colors as they like how it looks better or trying to match with their gear, but in all honesty plain is the way to go unless your a fan of a certain color way such as dyes dye cam colors.
baby shampoo. i'm super cheap. i make up a little spray bottle of a 1:1 baby shampoo to distilled water. take that to clean goggles through the day of playin'. when i clean my mask after a day of playin' i take a shower with it on then i rub strait shampoo onto the inside of the lens after my shower and let it set overnight. lightly buff off next day and put gear away ready for the next game. no matter how tired i am i wont go to sleep with a dirty uncleaned up mask. i'll take a day or two sometimes to clean up the rest of my gear but the mask gets clean before bed.
Hi PBRML, great video. I travel to games by motorcycle and I wanted to get an Exalt Lens case for my EVS lenses but I'm not sure if they'll fit [They're huge!] Thanks
That depends a lot on whether or not you're willing to buy used (there are reputable used dealers such as Trademygun) and how much you're willing to spend. New you could go for the Gtek160r, RSX/XLS, or DSR. If used is something you're open to, you can often find LV1s and GEO 3/.1/.5s going for under 700. Next time you go to your local field ask around and see if anyone is willing to let you try their gun out so you can get a feel for the way it shoots and ergonomics.
The only way your tank could ever possible explode is if you put oil directly inside the tank or into the fill nipple, otherwise its perfectly safe to lube anything else (only danger is that it might not work as well).
I've been told that worst comes to worst Garage door Greaser will get the job done in a pinch if there arent any other lubricants around at home. Any opinions on that guys?
Multipurpose Grease is an absolute last resort, but I can't imagine a time when you'd need to use it. If you don't have any grease and you have a game the next day, probably best to turn up and ask someone politely if you could borrow some or ask the site staff if they have any for sale or to borrow before playing.
The first few years of the Ego they recommended Vaseline for grease in the actual manual. Wish we could get rid of some of the marketing silliness that we have now
While yes, there are some cases where you could get away with using vaseline it does not do the job as well as proper grease or oil. Having a lubricant with the proper viscosity goes a long way for the longevity of the O-rings, not to mention they often handle temperature changes better. You "COULD" get away with lubing the PE gamma core with peanut butter (it's been done, look it up) that doesn't mean it's the best tool for the job.
"So you can get hammered at the field" is the quote of the day.
Baby powder is a must. It keeps your balls from getting stuck together (not paintballs, your actual balls).
First world problems
It still works as a great anti-chafing product, balls or not.
Josh Stone i use gold bond cause its easier
“I don’t use battery’s dog”😂👌🏼
Rain lid. Athletic tape. Extra o-rings/parts (especially tank o-rings because a lot of guys forget those. Multiple barrel covers.
I always have people asking me for batteries on the field lol
"AYOOO ANYBODY GOT A 9 VOLT"
Lmaoo I just say no after awhile
A pair of Clear & Smoke lenses is always a good thing. The weather can always change, and you don’t want to stop playing.
Clear, Yellow and Coloured [Tinted] for me!

channels awesome man... love the high quality.. only "paintballtuber" to produce in such quality ...keep it up...
I always make sure to bring blunt wraps, raw papers, and a dab rig with torch.
Marciano Hammer 7?
Yes hammer 7
Marciano Parafina forgot the clear eyes
I think your PBRML headband is a must have. May not be for cleaning or maintenance, but it’s pretty much life or death.
You pretty much covered the necessities. Good vid.
Nice Trapped Under Ice in the beginning.
I'll vouch on the bondhous gold Allen wrenches use them every day at work an love them an they hold up extremely well
Strap wrench!

I keep a spare air tank. Had one go on the fritz once mid-sesh. Really try to keep spare everything if possible.
Have you seen the new batch of Ultra Cheap 4500 psi compressors (Like the Yong Heng)? I bought one and so far it's awesome.
uhhhh link?
zoid berg you can also google or youtube search for a 300 bar compressor. I Also bought a cheap water/oil separator. So far so good.
You know what comes in handy is a spray bottle of water! Use it to clean paint off your clothes, mask, etc.

Glad i'm not the only one getting "hammered at the field"
Nice info, practical, easier, honest. Go forward this way !!!
Flathead and Phillips head screwdriver.
The Kirkland makes great products and I will stand by them
I do for everything else including batteries that aren't for paintball, but for my gun and hopper I buy their name brand packs. Try their prosecco sometime if you are over 21 btw!
From what I've heard Kirkland battery are just repackaged Duracell's. Consumer reports rank them very high.
I work at Costco everyone loves their wine haha it very inexpensive too
Hahaha, "...bottle opener so you can get hammered at the field" - cheers to that!
4:55 I don’t know why that made me laugh so hard
Gotta say IMO amazon basic batteries have worked the best for me. They are a damn good price the more you buy and they hold a solid charge!
Duracell makes Kirkland batteries.
I always bring an extra mask and tank if I can in case something happens to either one and I don't have money or time to get it fixed. I bring an extra thing of everything basically. I also always bring my extra extra stuff in case someone needs something so you can sell some of the stuff you don't really need.

Some sites will sell the lesser selling color schemes for cheaper than the more popular color schemes

pbrml do u have any recommendations for a mid- high-ish priced gun for speedball, i have a gs right now so just for when that has to go

Team Elevate Paintball Gtek 160r or a used lv1.5
Team Elevate Paintball I just got the dsr and it’s amazing
Should I be worried with using oil around my gun and in it since I've heard stories of people getting oil in their tanks and exploding
As long as you only oil the parts that need oil. Just know that all you really need is a drop on the O-rings
Josh Stone is using lube also fine on the o rings and other parts ?
It depends on what kind of gun you're shooting, that will determine what kind of lubrication and where.
The only way your tank could ever possible explode is if you put oil directly inside the tank or into the fill nipple, otherwise its perfectly safe to lube anything else (only danger is that it might not work as well).
I've been told that worst comes to worst Garage door Greaser will get the job done in a pinch if there arent any other lubricants around at home. Any opinions on that guys?
Just stick to paintball specific lube/grease/oil
Multipurpose Grease is an absolute last resort, but I can't imagine a time when you'd need to use it. If you don't have any grease and you have a game the next day, probably best to turn up and ask someone politely if you could borrow some or ask the site staff if they have any for sale or to borrow before playing.
Would it be okay to use oil on my invert mini
This might be a really dumb question but does anybody know if I need grease or oil for my Azodin Kaos 2 again really sorry if its a dumb question.
Metric Allen Keys!
best gearbags to buy???
OGIO in my opinion. They have a life long warranty and are built for anything.
You can make do with a hockey bag, they are just as big as other bags and often with many compartments but for a much lower pricetag.
Contico storage box. Durable as all hell, under $50, and you can easily package everything to fit without scratching it all up.
A roll of paper towel. I can't tell you how many times have a roll of paper towel saved me
