    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.

  • @EvolvedTactical
    @EvolvedTactical 2 года назад +9

    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.

    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.

      @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.

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.
