Depending on where we are riding, sometimes I'll stick an actual paper map or print out in my pack...protected by a 1 gallon plastic baggie if needed. I also take a pic of the map to have on my phone if cell service is not available. Lara Bars are a great option to throw in the pack bc they don't crumble, actually have flavor and, if you don't eat them, they keep well even in warm temps. Always good to see what others do. Thanks for the tips!
Awesome video! Love the list and advice. I use a Camelbak LR 4 hip pack with built in tool roll for short rides and a Camelbak Skyline 10 with the roll up tool roll for longer rides. Almost match your list to the tee! I learned about the jumping cactus in Arizona the hard way and now carry an small hair pick. You have such good content and always fun to watch!
Thanks for answering my questions about your bikes that I asked in another video. It took me a while to get my tubeless mtb tires to work properly and it took a trip back to the US to do it when a friend of mine told me about the plug kit for tubeless tires. Great video.
Random but helpful: A mesh laundry bag or travel organizer can be used as a tool roll. The finger of a latex glove can plug a sidewalk puncture; maybe add some super glue. Those smack rappers can boot a cut tire. Keep a foot of electrical , gaffer, and or duct tape rapped around the pump to repair many things. A small light and lighter are good to have. A shift cable and pair of brake pads are also ride savers. Cary a small pocket comb when riding cactus country along with a small tube of sun block. If the ride is epic long pack a few chainring bolts, a missing link and a few spokes and maybe spare cleats. Some of this is a bit far out, but some of us ride pretty far out. - Ride on.
Great video! I definitely need to get one of those Camelbak tool rools, they're so handy. And thanks for being real and talking about feminine hygiene products at the end, as those are essential items in most females' bike packs!! 🚵♀️
I have a container that fits in a water bottle holder that is great because I can switch it between my bikes very easily and it has all my basic gear. I also always have a gu pack just in case what is supposed to be a short ride gets a lot longer for whatever reason. On the super glue topic, my husband always carries Nu Skin, it's like a liquid band-aid that can stop bleeding. We both carry butterfly closures for any really serious cuts.
i carry screwdrivers on my bar bag(the bag that straps to your top tube and steerer)yes you read that right lol! it was given to me by a friend who is not with us anymore so its very dear to me and i think of my buddy when i use it,it's small enough to fit anywhere but feels solid in the hand and it came with different bits like slotted and phillipshead screws
Good call on the tool roll. I've been mountain biking for, I don't know, 27 years but I'm still the moron who forgets his multi-tool or plugs when switching between hip pack, backpack, or pockets. I've never identified as a SMAAHT person.
Mine is pretty similar except I have a 3l camelbak that I just use all the time. The heat and humidity is stupid in Louisiana. I dump 3l of water on a 5 mile ride in the summer. It's ridiculous.
Tool roll is a good idea. Small packs like that work well for backpacking, too. I like that multitool has a ratchet. I have an Alien that I've had for over 10 years. I like your tire irons. The ones on the Alien multitool are not very strong (I know Steve isn't a fan of Alien). Good idea, also, with the air adapter. Pretty much have the same stuff, for the most part. The only thing some people may not want to use is aspirin. If they do fall, get a gash and are given aspirin, it could be bad. Aspirin is an anticoagulant.
I did not know that, great, thx for sharing, what about Paracetamol? but that one is more for mild pain, so my back pain, or neck pain or headache it's not working for. a drug that does nothing for me, but I don't know if I tried other drugs. noe clue what the dentist use but those drugs work, at least if it's 6 doses or more.
@@chameleonpogono So far I have been doing ok with just being careful, and lay and sit to in ways to make things come back in place and of course rest, I have been off bike for several days due to misalignment of elbow and pain in muscle and nerve pain, but got better. I haven't even heard of those drugs. but on the bike I rarely get in any major pain.
@@chameleonpogono I think I will stay away from drugs unless absolutely needed, most f my pain comes from misalignment, but for crashes I just have so much padding, and do the tuck and roll when crashing or other techniques to avoid injury that I don't see myself getting a bad injury or get in any major pain. but thx for sharing. more knowledge the better. before I had to shift with my palm or use front brake only, due to my wrist and elbow issues, that happen mostly on my right arm, but ow I got wrist supports so some of the issues are gone, but not elbow, shoulder issues.
@@mtbboy1993 Sorry to hear you're in pain. That is horrible! I'm not sure about your country, but naproxen is an over the counter medication that you can buy in stores here. I think dentists use corticosteroids. That is the strong stuff, but I think they use motrin, as well.
I'm real close to 50 now I would add aspirin in case some one has a heart attack. I do everything possible not to wear a pack. In a small seat pack I strap to frame I have Allen wrenches and torques a chain breaker I took off multi tool , I did that for room and weight , tire plug tool with beggin strips t.p. a tire lever that runs chain breaker a small first aid kit and 2 clif bars. I wrap a 26 inch tube around seat stay with electrical tape then some gorilla tape. I also have a 12 and 11 speed so I tape one or the other to cables. I have 2 water bottle cages one in triangle and one on bottom like an old yeti would have to do. I like the bottom one for added frame protection also. I bought bigger bolts for internal cage so i can run 2 pump holders one on each side of cage the pump is shimano carbon and the other side will fit a rolled up nylon sack with tire levers and few other odds and ends. Rain gear and capaline can get tied around waist or in a sea to summit 6 liter sack i sewed paracord to make a pack, it weighs 2 ounces. The pack also will carry my helmet. Just run cord through holes in helmet. I can carry 2.5 liters of water on bike and if more is needed I might bring along a water filter like my sawer squeeze. Love the content guys sorry for long comment but love geeking out on gear.
I pretty much have the same stuff that you have in my pack! I am a diabetic so i always carry some extra food so i always ride with my Osprey raptor 14 so i can carry a little more!
I also always bring nitrile gloves, I mostly used it to do drivetrain related jobs on other peoples bikes, but I used them few times on my own bike too. list of what I currently carry: kit.com/mtbboy1993/my-on-ride-tools-2017-19
I wear so much padding so I am quite well protected against big gashes, and my veins stick out so much I would not dare to ride without them even just for a easy ride, I guess I could bleed to death if scraped those. but only area that was quite exposed was over wrist area between pad and gloves, but now I use wrist supports so they cover up my arms even more so I am even safer, also I need them cus of really floppy wrists.
No cutting a vein will not cause u to bleed to death lol. It will heal like any other cut it just will bleed a little more. Your getting veins confused with arteries. Cutting an artery will cause u to bleed to death but that would be a very very "violent wound". Also that would be a very severe cut and if that happened in the backcountry I don't think you'd even last long enough to be helicoptered out let alone walk or ride.
@@cwd1232 yea you are right, but of course I don't want to bleed, no matter how much or little. I also don't want to cut my legs open, which can cause injury to arteries or bones, which can happen in a bad crash. so I always wear protection. no bruises, no pain, no scars those places. I only get few scrapes and bruises few places, but the pads protect well.
Any specific reason why Ivy Profen? I am no expert on drugs, I haven't researched this much, I haven't had drugs with me or aid first aid kit with me, but I am so careful and good at crashing, I probably won't need it, also good at telling if I might crash, knowing when to walk is a good thing to know. but hopefully wrist supports will make me crash less.

I like the idea of carrying a piece of tire sidewall as a tire patch. I used part of a tube box one time...… It just disintegrated inside the tire.

Food
Water
TP (used more than once so always carry that)
Tube
Pump
Multitool
Levers
Quicklink
That’s all I carry and have ever needed
I unplugged my computer at 14:04.
Great video Dusty Betty!
Great checklist. Definitely need a tool roll.
Martha Hunt consider a small mesh laundry bag or travel bag from the drug store.
Thanks for the tips! Like the $20 bill to bribe some one! 😀
I live in the desert and always carry a comb. Great for getting cactus out of the body or tires!
Good list! A few other lightweight items that I carry (and have used) are a derailleur hanger, neosporin (antibiotic cream) and butterfly sutures.

Cool. I have the same hippack. I just got an ergon backpack for the longer trips and for more water and parts. Great vid.
@@dustybettymtb I like the idea of a tool roll to transfer stuff between bags. I thought about buying double of everything.
Super interesting...thanks for the video!
I also use 4 zip ties to align the calipers, pistons. I did that one the several times.
Good call on the tool roll. I've been mountain biking for, I don't know, 27 years but I'm still the moron who forgets his multi-tool or plugs when switching between hip pack, backpack, or pockets. I've never identified as a SMAAHT person.
zipties are good to use as zipper handle extensions, I use it on my backpack
Mine is pretty similar except I have a 3l camelbak that I just use all the time. The heat and humidity is stupid in Louisiana. I dump 3l of water on a 5 mile ride in the summer. It's ridiculous.
I always carry spare brake pads with me and in my first aid kit I carry Betaisodona. It's a iodine salve that disinfects small wounds.
Benadryl is a good add too - for bee stings. Unfortunately, I have used it and handed it out to others.

i just have a regular backpack with tools and an inner tube lol
Wait wait wait, did u really mean superglue some wounds together.....?
I need a hip pack. Seems the way to go.
I am running tubeless 27.5+ 2.8 i hate carriying that monstrous inner tube i wonder if a normal 27.5 inner tube would work..
Yup, it sure would. Even a 26" tube would work. I've used 26" tubes for 27.5, 27.5+ and 29.
"Super Duper Handy!"
How about a little tp , just in case.
I never switch packs or take out tools, unless I am cleaning the bag or the tools.
