Yep that was me who gave you the valve core for your stem when we recovered that subie from Lytle creek. I carry those and actual valve stems after being on a run with a guy who sheared off two of his stems at once. So yes tire repair kits and parts are great to have and take little space. Don't forget a winch damper or towel or blanket for winch line under heavy load
I'd say spot on..I carry all that but the sawzall. I run a sxs so I have to scale back a bit. I have used every bit of kit I carry one time or another. Added 50 ft winch extension line after I rolled in a gravel pit and used every strap, shackle, tree saver, and every inch of my winch cable to reach a tiny little tree to right it. Learn by experience! Great video! Thanks!
Figure out what tools are common for your rig, and carry those in a tool roll/bag. Avoids having to carry every tool you own and don’t really need. Also, take the time to learn how to do common trail repairs (shafts, u joints, etc) at home before you need it, so you don’t have to figure it out on the spot while blocking the trail.
Truthfully I'm surprised how many times we have ran into people that do not carry any safety gear . Even extra water and clothing is important just in case you are alone for a period of time. . I do need a new tree saver. 😆. Mine was tossed in the trash recently. I agree with everything you have said in the video.
Great info! I'm trying to learn how this off roading thing works. There is so much to think about. I would hate to be caught out in the middle of nowhere without the necessary gear.
Excellent break down, with good reasons behind every piece of kit. 2 points I want to add: 1) newer Baofeng radios that you get off of Amazon are typically locked out of GMRS and FRS frequencies from the factory. If you have one of these radios, you can do a factory reset on the radio, and it will unlock the channels you couldn't get before. For the UV5R radio, you do a factory reset by holding the PTT, the monitor button, and the VFO button all at the same time while turning it on. 2) having a good 1st aid kit is nice, but if you don't have the training to use it, it's just taking up space. Go get 1st Aid and CPR certified, and seek out more training if you can. All the cool kit in the world doesn't do you any good if you don't know how to use it. Same goes for recovery gear.
Yes that number 2 is huge and I’m actually working out a class now to teach recovery and first aid to your average Joe great points thank you for the feedback 🤟🏽
@@TrailMilitia thanks for putting out the info. I'm trying to make it out to one of your upcoming runs, just got to get around the work and family schedule.
I know its a little late, but . . . Make sure the tire kit is one with good metal handles. I have seen a lot of the plastic ones rip out of the handle. I carry a tire plug kit in every vehicle we own, at all times, just in case. The sweatshirt/ pants is great, just make sure to get the drawstring type pants. I usually keep 2 sets in my rig all the time, along with a couple pair of socks. One large set that will fit most men, even if it may be a bit baggy, and a smaller set that will fit most women. You never know who might get soaked/covered in some fluid/ or just super dirty. Could even be some random person you run across on the trail. Sweatpants can fit "good enough" on a pretty large range of body types, so you can cover almost anybody that may need them with minimal different sets. Keep them sealed up any number of ways, that way they stay dry if water gets in your gear. Not much worse than finding your dry emergency cloths wet when you need them.
@@veganpotterthevegan both of mine have a roll pin in them. I guess I shouldn't assume that all the metal handled ones do. Everything is made so cheap now days, yet still expensive.
@Blazer-fp8fo spent $15 on mine just a few years ago. That said, if it were made in the US, it would probably be $50 and still fall apart😅 Outside of full vehicles, a lot of things are definitely cheaper these days. 100yrs ago, you'd be very lucky to have 2 pairs of shoes.
Kmart? Showing you age..lol. Great vid -fire extinguisher -jb weld/quick steel -duck tape -parts cleaner -gasket maker Some may seem expensive but they work for multiple repairs.
We were able to temporarily patch a cracked Radiator with some JB weld putty and duct tape. It was good enough to get the rig home from the trail.we now carry both the JB weld putty and the original fast dry JB weld.
Dude I love this video. I wish I was on the west coast to go wheeling with you guys. What brand of spare tie rod are you carring with your Bronco? Oh and get that tire repair kit. on a week of camping and off-roading I picked up a nail in each of my rear tires. Fix them at the campsite and they are still going strong. Thanks.
Water. You didn’t mention water. You mentioned all these things to help people’s cars, and even first aid, but you need water on this list. If you’re going on a trail, on foot, in a vehicle, on a donkey, whatever, you need to make sure you have an emergency supply of water.
👏 bro the duct tape and bailing wire didn't make the list.. always have to have those..😂
Damn ur right duct tape and electrical also wouldn’t be bad

There it is thank you brotha
Ratchet straps all sizes we were able to secure a broken steering gear box to the frame with ratchet straps.
I actually had some in the kit and forgot to mention it definitely saved me a few times already 🤟🏽 good call out

Practice before trail is huge good point
Absolutely 💯

Thank you! I’m just getting started and I really appreciate your help.
Absolutely if you need any more info feel free to reach out
Right on Trail Militia! Thanks for the information.
Great info! I'm trying to learn how this off roading thing works. There is so much to think about. I would hate to be caught out in the middle of nowhere without the necessary gear.
Thanks, you brought up a few items I never thought of

@@EvolvedTactical absolutely man you’re more thank welcome as soon as you free up the time
Great video, good kit and I would add to that my top 3 is Glock, water, and FIRE EXT.
Definitely missed a couple and plan on redoing it here for 2024
Great video and great suggestions in the comments.

Solid additions to the video. thank you for watching and throwing in some good added details..
I've had metal handles come off too, they're just glued in😂

Great vid
-fire extinguisher
-jb weld/quick steel
-duck tape
-parts cleaner
-gasket maker
Some may seem expensive but they work for multiple repairs.
Definitely we just add all of these items to our kit before we did the Rubicon.
@@DirtRoadJourney sad to say how many times jb weld has saved my butt

Dude yes JB Weld and gasket maker for sure

Thanks for the love the spare tie rod is from Moog bought it at Autozone. Glad you enjoyed the video 🤟🏽
We carry this blue rope and that shit is strong can pull a hydrovack truck thats full out of sand used an excavator to pull it out
Not the same rope in video though
Fire extinguisher and fluid spill kit
good advice gracias bro
De nada thank you for watching
Good on you mate… 👍From Australia… WATER 💦 ALWAYS…. No matter how far you travel… Aussie 4x4 guys like Ronny Dahl and others do awesome rig setup…🦘
Thanks for the watch I what the Aussie guys all the time and yes builds here are a bit different but water is definitely the most important
ball joints, and cv axel s. and fluid. oil, t fluid, water, antifreeze if you are afraid of water. maybe some gear oil
Get a Milwaukee 18v compressor. That thing is amazing.
Yo TM what is a good “neutral” radio to buy? One that can work with most radios out in the wild
I would find the Beaufeng that’s unlocked but it really depends on the group I never switch from Rugged Radio they have better overall performance
Thank you, this is great!
I always carry an extra sweater in all of my cars but my gf always ends up using it because she never prepares x.x
That’s actually super handy lol
I carry a boat anchor also
How do you store it all in the bronco ?
I don’t this is my jeep gladiator setup. I’ll make a smaller version for the bronco and show it to you guys
@@TrailMilitia thank you
Thanks man
You're welcome!
🔥🔥
are you in california
Yes I am
👏
💧 water
Fuses
Super glue

That's a given. Might as well include food, camp stove , tent etc. Doesn't apply to this video.
He didnt mention beer 😢. Thats first on the list , well the alcohol wipes will work also.
Great advice...thanks.
