Thanks for checking out the video! This is a topic I've been asked to make a video on countless times and I finally got around to doing it. People often ask me what kind of gear, tools or spare parts I bring riding with me. Here is a basic breakdown and overview of my "RZR Gear Box" and whats in it. By no means is this perfect and by no means is this a one size fits all solution but I do believe it should be a good resource to get you started on assembling your own Off-Road Gear Box. Like I mention in the video some of the items in your gear kit will be specific to the machine you drive and some are universal. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the video and if you think I've missed some key items let me know. For starters I forgot to mention a hammer and the fact that I also usually have a nice flashlight and knife in the kit. What do you guys carry in your machine at all times?
Stacy Reid a snake bite kit is a great idea. Not really a necessity for where we usually ride but I should definitely add one in for our trips down south. Excellent tip. I don’t know how well a ziplock bag would work as a CPR barrier. The biggest feature of a CPR barrier is usually the one way valve and filter that prevent backflow of air and bodily fluids into the mouth of the person performing CPR. New updated CPR guidelines also state that you can basically skip the breathing portion of the CPR. There is enough oxygen in the blood to sustain the brain for quite some time and the compressions alone will pull in and expel enough air mechanically to effectively oxygenate the brain as long as compressions are being done properly. The updated guidelines state that you only need to do rescue breathing if you have the proper barrier device to protect you or you know the victim and feel comfortable breathing without the barrier device. It is better to focus on good compression technique and making sure the airway is open while periodically checking for breathing and a pulse then focusing on also adding the step of rescue breathing into the equation, especially for inexperienced individuals. I’ve done compressions multiple times in a healthcare setting and it’s quite a bit of work, especially when there is a ton of other stuff going on. Even well trained healthcare providers can easily make mistakes and go too fast, too slow, too shallow or too deep on compressions. Sorry for the long explanation. Excellent points though. I’ll be looking into getting a snake bite kit.
AdrenalineJunkieProd on compressions I too was in health care as a Ambulance EMT and also studied Paramedics didn't graduate that due to my teach and I had issues of him " liking ME " you know what I mean and I didn't go for his advancement
When I lived in Alaska I carried a anchor to pull myself (some places was just pet moss) out when on trees are around. You have the best videos out there, the way you explain everything is great.
I’ve found it helpful to carry an accordion style sleeping pad it gives you a comfortable place to make a repair and lay out your parts tools etc without losing them in the leaves dirt etc.
I bought my 1st honda in 2000. 2nd in 2015 still riding that 1. I ride in super steep and very rocky terrain. Flatlanders would have to change there shorts on alot of the trails I ride on. Maybe I should start but have never felt the need to carry a tool box full of stuff for just in case issues. Common sense an a honda is all I've needed to enjoy my gorgeous mountains.
I have most of the stuff you listed off but I have a coupleof things I need to add now. Thanks for the ideas. The things I have that you don't include a battery jumper box, snatch block, tree saver, Ratchet straps (for broken suspension) Bungee cables, compact shovel, power drill, and full first aid kit vs pieces of one. I also carry my gopro cameras and batteries and drone in my box. However my box is larger so I have the extra room.
I got a little air compressor, plug kit, a set of metric wrenches, a few straps, come along, and the most important... and usually completely overlooked item... a package of wet wipes... never know when you "got to go" and my buddies carry a similar assortment of items.
I take a 2# ball peen hammer as well. Flair gun, whistle, Topo Map of my surrounding area, compass and radio and sat phone. Your parks have a emergency hot line as well. Know that number and stay aware of land marks and give Lat- Lon location if possible.
It looks like you have everything. The only items I didn’t see was toilet paper and the kitchen sink. I would love to ride with you. Someone that try’s to think of everything that could go wrong. Keep it up.
I bring a lighter & a small can of tire rubber cement that is flammable, after I plug a tire Vulcanizes the plug for life. A must if you ride in Arizona where sharp rocks are numerous.
Slime has an awesome emergency kit that has a bottle of slime and a electric air pump all in a zip up pouch. It is small so it saves space. They run like 20 bucks for the kits at Walmart.
I really appreciate everyone that has a box of supplies I ride a sport atv and I'm hard pressed to store a couple bottles of water and my cell phone. Its seems like almost every ride we end up breaking something and having to wait for a sxs to come to our rescue. O I also carry some cash with me just incase I need towed out of the woods. Hopefully those days will be over soon when I get a sxs. I would reccomend you add one of those small lithium jump starters to your box.
Hey man, I have one. I showed the cables for it in the video but mentioned I left it in my truck. It was super cold here and I needed to boost my truck with it. I have an awesome Noco Genius booster Lithium Ion booster pack. It's awesome. It's saved my butt a few times. It's easy to be prepared in a SXS because of all the extra space. I remember I used to struggle back in the ATV days and a sport quad makes it pretty much impossible to bring anything like you said. I'm hoping to get my ATV back together this spring, I miss riding it. SXS's are awesome, but still not the same as an ATV. They all have their pros and cons.
Great content. I recently had a chance to ride a side X side. I have MS so mobility is a problem. It’s been ten years since I had a huge maniacal smile on my face. Hope to have one for myself so my son and I can hit the trails. Safe riding 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the content. These machines are a ton of fun and they can get you out to a lot of awesome places. You may have some mobility issues but as long as you can get in and out of the machine it will take you almost anywhere you’d like to go. Hope you and your son can get out again and put some more smiles on your faces.
Thanks Stacy, one thing for everyone to remember is a team is only as strong as it's weakest link. Going prepared is part of your responsibility, especially on a longer adventure. When your machine falls apart 3 hours into a trail ride and you didn't bring any supplies to help remedy your issues you force that responsibility on others. That's not fair to the group. That's not to be misunderstood as me saying that the group doesn't want to help or that the group will leave you there. We have a tight knit core riding group and we never leave a rider down. Everyone will stop what they are doing to help. However, we go out to ride, not wrench on someones machine on the trail all day because they weren't ready for the ride in the first place or prepared to deal with even a minor issue after it happened. Machines break down and sometimes things don't go according to plan, no one will hold that against you. However, many issues can be fixed quickly with just a few basic tools and many can be completely avoided with proper planning. Having to tow a machine out of a nasty spot is also hard on the machine, leading to collateral damage and it's hard on the people extracting you. In our group if someone needs a longer tow out of the trail and its hard on the tow vehicle the person needing the tow will buy the tow vehicle a new drive belt as a courtesy. Most of the time towing a machine through trails which require 4X4 to get into will damage the belt of the machine trying to tow someone out. Many of these sport machines aren't intended or clutched to tow anything. It's really hard on them.
Bear mase pretty handy when you're doing a repair and not really paying attention to your surroundings they can kind of come out of nowhere or any kind of animal for that matter haven't needed to use it yet but makes me feel better knowing I have it close by and also jumper cables
I could see where a good burn gel would be beneficial for first aid. Appreciate the video. I’m usually one of the people in my group that has everything but the kitchen sink with me. And I also carry enough zip ties with me to rebuild our machines. I’m usually over prepared according to most people. Our motto is drive fast swerve a lot!!
Best burn remedy is to carry some packets of yellow mustard, and aluminum foil. Rub the mustard on the burn and then wrap the area with aluminum foil. Saran Wrap will work as well. The mustard provides a natural pain remedy for the burn, and the wrap keeps it in place, as well as stops oxygen from getting to the burn, which also causes pain reduction. An old Boy Scout first aid kit must.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is a great time of year to start getting the "Trail Emergency Pack" restocked! You had a couple of items that will be a good addition to our kit also. I will now need a larger water seal-able tub to hold it all and keep it clean and dry. You did miss one small item in a bush saw of some kind. If you do carry an actual hatchet you may want to look at a Zippo AxeSaw or Multi-Function Camping Axe (w/shield) with Saw & Firestarter combo (Amazon: Axe saw) to round out your kit with the least amount of extra space! PS, Love to see more about the MK4 and 280Z. ;)
Hey papabare N, glad you found the video informative! Damn, your right! I have a nice fold up bow saw that I should have in there! Good suggestion, I'll be adding that for sure. I've always been into being over prepared. I think in the off-road world it's a good trait to have. It's also saved me a bunch of times in my vehicles. I always carry tools in my cars and trucks too in case something happens. Ill check out that axe saw on Amazon. Once the weather warms up a bit I'll do a video on the VW Track Car and the Datsun 280ZX.
Probably the most comprehsive kits I've seen, plenty of things I have in my home kit that matches it. People might think your nuts, but when you're the one who can help them they sure change their mindset.
Just food for thought, I spun a valve stem out on a down tree before so now I carry a couple. Damn Murphy’s law! Good info on the kit, gonna add a few things to mine!
Glad you enjoyed it! We have done the same thing out on the trail. I actually do have a couple valve stems in there somewhere I must not have mentioned it. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Vice grips. Wheel studs and lug nuts. Brake fluid is a must. Seen many brake lines get rub holes and tore off from sticks and logs. Great videos. Keep them coming.
Hey Scott, I have some vice grips in the bottom of the blue bag, I forgot to mention them, good call. Your not the first one to bring up the lug nuts and wheel studs. I'll be adding those for sure. The brake fluid is an awesome suggestion, didn't think of that. I'll also be adding a bottle of brake fluid to the kit! Vice grips to clamp off the torn brake line, some fluid to refill the reservoir, and your good to go!
Hahahahaha, ya no sh*t! I don't even know how all 6 of those ended up in there, yet my hammer was missing...lol. Definitely need to re-organize it. I've gotten some good ideas from the comments on other items I should add too.... once I remove some adjustable wrenches.......
Thank you for this SUPER informative video! I also overkilll everything.which makes this video perfect for me. I’m new to this sport and will use everything I learned from this video for my next ride.Thanks again !
Helpful. Thanks. My kit needs a lot of work. I have a few basics, but some of them are super bulky, as they were purchased for taking my old truck off road. I’d love to slim down some items, to make room for many more helpful items.
Thanks I wrote down 17 things I dont carry your a badass I cant run that box I made a new carrier for my general but I'll definitely be getting what I dont carry keep the videos coming
Went out for some trail riding this weekend, forgot my jumper box and left the key on in the rzr…needless to say I’ll be buying an extra one to keep in the rzr since I usually carry it in my truck and I towed my rzr with my father in laws truck
So looking at your toe box and scene the green slime bottle is a good product to have. The new replacement that is far superior to green slime is Tire jet you can see the video that's made by the company and others that use the product. When the guy has 30 year-old tires and runs over a series of nail punctures it will seal it within seconds. As you know any medicines U-Haul need to be kept away from the heat especially the engine
Hey man, I'll have to check out Tire Jet. Appreciate you sharing that. I agree with the heat. I often replace stuff in the med kit. The only actual medications I carry are the mild over the counter analgesics like Tylenol and Advil as well as some Benadryl. I replace them every few months. I know the heat isn't optimal but they are quite stable when it comes to meds. Worst case scenario they make lose some potency.
That was a really helpful video showing what to be prepared for on the trail. Alot of people don't think about the "what ifs" so they get caught unprepared. Thanks Julian! PS, my wife and I did get some camo T shirts so we will be somewhat protected :)
Did you mention a thermostat sensor and a quart of engine oil . I would watch you restoring the Datsun. . Back in the day I owned 1984 Mazda RX 7 . Great video as always
Hey croman1, you're right, I should have some engine oil. I don't have a thermostat sensor in there. I had a first generation RX7 as well. I really regret getting rid of that thing. Such cool little cars. My biggest problem is I have so many projects and not enough time or budget to work on them all at once, lol.
Thank you for this video. Picking up my first UTV an Arctic trail tomorrow. Will be putting in the garage and starting the way I want do things, this video helps more then you know.
Glad you enjoyed the video Boom 42. Ya, I sure do cram a ton of stuff into that box and there is usually still enough room in there for an extra pair of goggles, a sweater and some snacks.
Might add some MRE style food. Great for diabetics and those at risk for hypothermia... some fuel for the ole fire and get the blood sugar and electrolytes up. 👍🏼
I usually carry a cooler with food ans drinks. In regards to fire I have a fire starter in there and also carry some Trioxane fuel packs in there. The gear box is a constant work in progress, always adding new things and removing others I don't use. Appreciate all the feedback everyone is giving.
Been riding and guiding for years and this was a good video. You certainly have a lot of gear. I keep less of everything to stay light and compact, but I'm always hoping someone has more gear than me, lol. I carry more of the winching and recovery side of the gear. Its impossible to have a perfect box but I ride with guys that literally take nothing. Thats completely amateur. Good informative video.
Dang Julian,i thought i carried alot of stuff lol,i have a ridgid toolbox with the Isota brackets to mount it in the back,super nice setup,check it out!
Those Ridig boxes are awesome! My buddy has a few of them. Milwaukee makes similar ones now too. I've considered upgrading my gear box a few times now but I just love this one. I cracked a bottom corner on it this season so I just glued it back together. Maybe I'll just see if I can get a new one that's exactly the same. I love that the lid lifts right off, makes it super easy to get into when there is other gear around it too.
Wow. You have alot that I didn't think about. Very good information. Thank you for the video. I do have to say you did forget the most important thing. Toilet paper. Paper towels can get ruff on the butt. 😆. Also I are a pistol in a dry box just in case.. there is always the possibilities of a bear or ticked off moose. Heck you may get stranded and need to eat. Keep up the good work. I'm going to check out what else you have.
you need to get j.b weld that come in a round plastic cylinder, its way better than the one you are using, you can cut it with almost anything, the texture is more like hard gum no dripping or sagging, dry time 5-10 min.
I've seen that stuff! I think I've used it once or twice but it wasn't the JB Weld brand. Good suggestion Jose, thanks. I'll be adding some of that for sure!
Great video for the winter and to misquote someone famous : " plans are useless, but preparation is indispensable". Simple things can go along way, like checking air pressure and greasing zirks and religiously cleaning radiators. You alluded to it with the extensions and straps, but I believe you forgot to mention the winch itself. I've got a wraparound trunk from Wes industries on my outlander max that I love- I use plastic ammo cans to keep it organized and my compressor even fits into one ( don't ask your friends girlfriend to try inflating a flat tire by blowing into it.)
lol, how did you learn that lesson Luke? hahaha. Ya, being prepared is key to having a good time. That's why I always preach the importance of focusing on preventative maintenance. I have to say that our group is really good at all this, we all agree on these concepts. In the past a few guys tried to join the group and ride with us and their machines kept breaking down, they wouldn't take care of them and it was problem after problem so we had to kindly ask them to remedy the reoccurring issues they were having and please not return until they did. We don't get to ride as much as we want and when you get an hour into a ride and then need to spend 4 hours extracting someone over and over it loses it's appeal really quickly.
Awesome video as always! I like to carry a few clevis’ or shackles as well as couple small snatch blocks they can help re direct your winch line or make it so you can two part your winch line doubling its pulling capacity. Other wise killer box 🤘🏼
Stoked you enjoyed the video. You are right, I should have a snatch block in there! I'll be adding one. A few of the other guys in the group carry them and they have saved our butts in the past.
Great info. We live in Fl. and were going to HFM in June never been riding in any kind of elevation or rocks to speak of before . Now we have a pretty good idea as to what to put in the box. Love your video`s
Absolutely awesome video. I take get my first ITV in a few days. Very excited to begin the journey. 2021 RZR XP 1000. I also have extensive 38 year fire/EMS background and really appreciate your massive trail kit. I will watch again and make a list. Thanks for taking the time to help others with this video.. I subscribed after watching this. Thanks again and thanks for your service.
Great video!!!!!! :-) OH!!!....and a tomahawk is very handy!!!! .....and a snatch block!!!! ....get a 6' engine strap as a "tree saver"......you can wrap it around brush if no trees are around to pull yourself out of trouble :-)
Great video idea. That box has obviously been made after years of trial and error lol. I didn't see a hammer... I know every tool is a hammer when you need it, but I still to keep a couple of varying weights/sizes
lol, you know I would never leave out the "Honda Tool" on purpose Nathan. I must have let someone use it and those Bast**ds never gave it back! If I had another hammer in there I would have taught them a lesson! lol. The hammer will be returning once I re-stock everything.
Cool, I have always enjoyed your Videos, when I'm stuck working, I fire up one of your long plays and I'm out on the Trail with you guys. Just do what you've been doing, it's been awesome so far! Thanks.
And your Mother is still wondering where the hell did all her tupper ware go! lol Dude take out 4 adjustable wrenches and add a Ford tool/ hammer. If it fails tap it with a hammer first. lol Something for clotting (Like QuickClot) for serious wounds is good to have. I'm a retired EMS Provider. Good video!
Hahaha, solid strategy Wooden Creations, lol. I'm thinking that when I head down to Michigan this spring/summer to ride with Michigan Dirt maybe we can also do a ride with SXS Blog if they want to.
Appreciate your videos, especially for someone just getting into the sport. Having a blast going through your past videos fun to watch and educational for sure. It's amazing to see what these machines are capable of...keep up the awesome work... If you ever decide to do a ride south of the border in MN post it would be awesome to join your guys!!
Ya, I usually do have a mag light in there, I was using it the other day and forgot to put it back, lol. The headlight is a great Idea. I'll be adding one for sure now that you bring it up. I've got one kicking around I hardly ever use.
AdrenalineJunkieProd Cree led lights with rechargeable 18650 batteries are far superior to mag. Much more inexpensive as well. $5 Chinese cree flashlight with one battery puts out more light than a mag with 3 d cells.
Hey Wardog, it's on the list for this summer. I want to try to get down there late May if I can for the white knuckle event but not sure if it will fit my schedule yet. I would like to spend about a week down there and ride Brimstone, Royal Blue and Windrock. I've also heard that Tackette Creek in the area is awesome.
LOVE your videos, man!! This one in particular has helped me a bunch to load up my trail kit. I’m not a hardcore rider (Ranger Northstar), but I spend every spare minute I can in my ride. Heard you say you were a front line health care worker. Love for you to check out a song called HERO’S HEART by Robyn Slade, written for first responders and all those who make a difference in the world. PS I also love that you discuss where to purchase these items in the States AND North of the border. Great help for us up here lol. Thanks for what you do, and keep making great videos!!!!
Hey man! Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. Glad you found the video informative and helpful. I'll check out the song! Many more videos on the way.
Now you know I love all the Videos you make and I watch them all BUT there is something missing in the kit you need to bring and that is a matter of life or death I can't believe you for got it. BEER where is the beer that's a must on any trip and in the winter its Whiskey or Rum you know to keep you warm . Lol great Vid Bro
Dane... brother.... here at #TeamAJP we don't support alcohol abuse... Beer always deserves it's own box....... ;) ;) I should do a video on that, hahahaha. "What you need in your off-road cooler" lol.
Thanks man! I have 3 Mora's. For the money they are impossible to beat. They are probably one of my favorite all around daily carries. Especially for riding. I'll be making an updated kit video in the next little while.
@@samrobinson1851 It pays to be prepared. Carrying all this stuff has saved my ass and the asses of the guys I ride with multiple times. Stoked you enjoy the videos, I've got a lot planned for 2019, stay tuned!
Awesome job on the video bud! I appreciate ya making this video. This video is long time coming for me as well. I definitely learned some stuff from your kit and will be adding more to mine that you explained in detail. I don't think I'll have 6 adjustable wrenches like you though 😁😂. Keep up the awesome work bud. Hopefully we can get together and create some trail carnage sometime 😎.
Love the vid, only thing I could see you need, from my limited knowledge, is a couple CAT tourniquets. Lots of great ideas added to my tool box though.
hey man that was a great video super informative looks like you got a little bit of everything I think I'm going to build a box the exact same way with a short trip to harbor freight Home Depot and Walmart I should be able to do anything on the trail thanks again for doing a video like this it was a huge help for me
OMG, ya I do... I just looked it up. I might need two... lmao. I think I'll be ordering one up real soon. It will really clean up my gear box. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ya man, for sure you do. There is a ton of little issues you can fix in a matter of minutes if you have tools that would otherwise cause you to be stranded. Gotta be prepared.
How the hell did I miss this upload ? Great vid man ... Can't carry this much stuff when on 2 wheels in the bush .... Good stuff to know man ... Thanks for the heads up .
Thanks for the video bro I live in South Carolina myself when I heard you mention you're releasing other videos I heard you mention South Carolina and one of them was that Carolina Adventure World by any chance and if not where was it cuz I'm new to the area
Hey Rob, one of the videos will be from Carolina Adventure world. It's a fun place to spend the day. Especially if you like mud, they have some nasty red clay mud holes. I'd go back again. There is a ton of nice mid-high speed trails that are a blast to rip around and chase your buddies on. Also some good climbs. Good mix of trails.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Right on thanks for getting back with me good to know what's a good place to ride they sure didn't get a lot of positive feedback as far as the facility itself and how expensive it is and the people who work there and the cabins hopefully that's changed
Why is it nobody is packing the primary clutch removal tool. If your belt shreds there is a good chance it will get behind the pulley. If it's not all removed it will burn out the engine case seal. What do you think about this.
I think it’s a valid point. The primary can be really tough to remove even with an impact gun and puller but it is a great suggestion. Might have to add that.
Hahahahaha. Ya gotta stay nourished! You drive a Wildcat XX and I've seen the hell you put it through and it still keeps going.... you don't need tools. As long as you have energy from all those ham sandwiches then XX will keep goin, lol.

Did I miss you saying a snake bite kit Plus ziplock bags are great to use as a CPR barrier
Stacy Reid a snake bite kit is a great idea. Not really a necessity for where we usually ride but I should definitely add one in for our trips down south. Excellent tip. I don’t know how well a ziplock bag would work as a CPR barrier. The biggest feature of a CPR barrier is usually the one way valve and filter that prevent backflow of air and bodily fluids into the mouth of the person performing CPR. New updated CPR guidelines also state that you can basically skip the breathing portion of the CPR. There is enough oxygen in the blood to sustain the brain for quite some time and the compressions alone will pull in and expel enough air mechanically to effectively oxygenate the brain as long as compressions are being done properly. The updated guidelines state that you only need to do rescue breathing if you have the proper barrier device to protect you or you know the victim and feel comfortable breathing without the barrier device. It is better to focus on good compression technique and making sure the airway is open while periodically checking for breathing and a pulse then focusing on also adding the step of rescue breathing into the equation, especially for inexperienced individuals. I’ve done compressions multiple times in a healthcare setting and it’s quite a bit of work, especially when there is a ton of other stuff going on. Even well trained healthcare providers can easily make mistakes and go too fast, too slow, too shallow or too deep on compressions. Sorry for the long explanation. Excellent points though. I’ll be looking into getting a snake bite kit.
AdrenalineJunkieProd WV trails are loaded with Rattle Snakes and down here we have just about everything
AdrenalineJunkieProd on compressions I too was in health care as a Ambulance EMT and also studied Paramedics didn't graduate that due to my teach and I had issues of him " liking ME " you know what I mean and I didn't go for his advancement
When I lived in Alaska I carried a anchor to pull myself (some places was just pet moss) out when on trees are around. You have the best videos out there, the way you explain everything is great.
I’ve found it helpful to carry an accordion style sleeping pad it gives you a comfortable place to make a repair and lay out your parts tools etc without losing them in the leaves dirt etc.
That's a good idea! Never thought of that.
U can cut it down to fit
I bought my 1st honda in 2000. 2nd in 2015 still riding that 1. I ride in super steep and very rocky terrain. Flatlanders would have to change there shorts on alot of the trails I ride on. Maybe I should start but have never felt the need to carry a tool box full of stuff for just in case issues. Common sense an a honda is all I've needed to enjoy my gorgeous mountains.
Heck, instead of all this gear I should just strap an old Honda ATV to the back of my RZR and I'll never get left stranded, LOL!
I have most of the stuff you listed off but I have a coupleof things I need to add now. Thanks for the ideas. The things I have that you don't include a battery jumper box, snatch block, tree saver, Ratchet straps (for broken suspension) Bungee cables, compact shovel, power drill, and full first aid kit vs pieces of one. I also carry my gopro cameras and batteries and drone in my box. However my box is larger so I have the extra room.
You have the best assortment of everything you could possibly need.
Thanks for the ideas.
I got a little air compressor, plug kit, a set of metric wrenches, a few straps, come along, and the most important... and usually completely overlooked item... a package of wet wipes... never know when you "got to go" and my buddies carry a similar assortment of items.
lol when nature calls, you gotta go, haha. Paper towels work too, lol.
I take a 2# ball peen hammer as well. Flair gun, whistle, Topo Map of my surrounding area, compass and radio and sat phone. Your parks have a emergency hot line as well. Know that number and stay aware of land marks and give Lat- Lon location if possible.
It looks like you have everything. The only items I didn’t see was toilet paper and the kitchen sink. I would love to ride with you. Someone that try’s to think of everything that could go wrong. Keep it up.
I bring a lighter & a small can of tire rubber cement that is flammable, after I plug a tire Vulcanizes the plug for life. A must if you ride in Arizona where sharp rocks are numerous.
Add a little backpacking stove propane and coffee JIC to keep warm hot chocolate etc
You can always tie a square knot or water knot if you have synthetic rope for a winch if it parts
Totally! One of the best parts of the synthetic cable is that you can tie it and easily work with it.
Slime has an awesome emergency kit that has a bottle of slime and a electric air pump all in a zip up pouch. It is small so it saves space. They run like 20 bucks for the kits at Walmart.
This is a pretty thorough video, but I didn't see a leatherman😆
I really appreciate everyone that has a box of supplies I ride a sport atv and I'm hard pressed to store a couple bottles of water and my cell phone. Its seems like almost every ride we end up breaking something and having to wait for a sxs to come to our rescue. O I also carry some cash with me just incase I need towed out of the woods. Hopefully those days will be over soon when I get a sxs. I would reccomend you add one of those small lithium jump starters to your box.
Hey man, I have one. I showed the cables for it in the video but mentioned I left it in my truck. It was super cold here and I needed to boost my truck with it. I have an awesome Noco Genius booster Lithium Ion booster pack. It's awesome. It's saved my butt a few times. It's easy to be prepared in a SXS because of all the extra space. I remember I used to struggle back in the ATV days and a sport quad makes it pretty much impossible to bring anything like you said. I'm hoping to get my ATV back together this spring, I miss riding it. SXS's are awesome, but still not the same as an ATV. They all have their pros and cons.
Great content. I recently had a chance to ride a side X side. I have MS so mobility is a problem. It’s been ten years since I had a huge maniacal smile on my face. Hope to have one for myself so my son and I can hit the trails. Safe riding 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the content. These machines are a ton of fun and they can get you out to a lot of awesome places. You may have some mobility issues but as long as you can get in and out of the machine it will take you almost anywhere you’d like to go. Hope you and your son can get out again and put some more smiles on your faces.
I like you doing this it helps a lot of people that don't go prepared.
Thanks Stacy, one thing for everyone to remember is a team is only as strong as it's weakest link. Going prepared is part of your responsibility, especially on a longer adventure. When your machine falls apart 3 hours into a trail ride and you didn't bring any supplies to help remedy your issues you force that responsibility on others. That's not fair to the group. That's not to be misunderstood as me saying that the group doesn't want to help or that the group will leave you there. We have a tight knit core riding group and we never leave a rider down. Everyone will stop what they are doing to help. However, we go out to ride, not wrench on someones machine on the trail all day because they weren't ready for the ride in the first place or prepared to deal with even a minor issue after it happened. Machines break down and sometimes things don't go according to plan, no one will hold that against you. However, many issues can be fixed quickly with just a few basic tools and many can be completely avoided with proper planning. Having to tow a machine out of a nasty spot is also hard on the machine, leading to collateral damage and it's hard on the people extracting you. In our group if someone needs a longer tow out of the trail and its hard on the tow vehicle the person needing the tow will buy the tow vehicle a new drive belt as a courtesy. Most of the time towing a machine through trails which require 4X4 to get into will damage the belt of the machine trying to tow someone out. Many of these sport machines aren't intended or clutched to tow anything. It's really hard on them.
AdrenalineJunkieProd you are so right and the belt is very understandable.
Bear mase pretty handy when you're doing a repair and not really paying attention to your surroundings they can kind of come out of nowhere or any kind of animal for that matter haven't needed to use it yet but makes me feel better knowing I have it close by and also jumper cables
I could see where a good burn gel would be beneficial for first aid. Appreciate the video. I’m usually one of the people in my group that has everything but the kitchen sink with me. And I also carry enough zip ties with me to rebuild our machines. I’m usually over prepared according to most people. Our motto is drive fast swerve a lot!!
Best burn remedy is to carry some packets of yellow mustard, and aluminum foil. Rub the mustard on the burn and then wrap the area with aluminum foil. Saran Wrap will work as well. The mustard provides a natural pain remedy for the burn, and the wrap keeps it in place, as well as stops oxygen from getting to the burn, which also causes pain reduction. An old Boy Scout first aid kit must.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is a great time of year to start getting the "Trail Emergency Pack" restocked! You had a couple of items that will be a good addition to our kit also. I will now need a larger water seal-able tub to hold it all and keep it clean and dry. You did miss one small item in a bush saw of some kind. If you do carry an actual hatchet you may want to look at a Zippo AxeSaw or Multi-Function Camping Axe (w/shield) with Saw & Firestarter combo (Amazon: Axe saw) to round out your kit with the least amount of extra space! PS, Love to see more about the MK4 and 280Z. ;)
Hey papabare N, glad you found the video informative! Damn, your right! I have a nice fold up bow saw that I should have in there! Good suggestion, I'll be adding that for sure. I've always been into being over prepared. I think in the off-road world it's a good trait to have. It's also saved me a bunch of times in my vehicles. I always carry tools in my cars and trucks too in case something happens. Ill check out that axe saw on Amazon. Once the weather warms up a bit I'll do a video on the VW Track Car and the Datsun 280ZX.
Probably the most comprehsive kits I've seen, plenty of things I have in my home kit that matches it. People might think your nuts, but when you're the one who can help them they sure change their mindset.
Just food for thought, I spun a valve stem out on a down tree before so now I carry a couple. Damn Murphy’s law! Good info on the kit, gonna add a few things to mine!
Glad you enjoyed it! We have done the same thing out on the trail. I actually do have a couple valve stems in there somewhere I must not have mentioned it. Thanks for leaving a comment.
That was a great video and as far as in back country and a long way away from injury help i am luck that my wife is a nurse that makes a big help
You have NO Spark plugs! I have broken them on the trails in my 4 wheelers . It's good to have . And very good video.
Vice grips. Wheel studs and lug nuts. Brake fluid is a must. Seen many brake lines get rub holes and tore off from sticks and logs. Great videos. Keep them coming.
Hey Scott, I have some vice grips in the bottom of the blue bag, I forgot to mention them, good call. Your not the first one to bring up the lug nuts and wheel studs. I'll be adding those for sure. The brake fluid is an awesome suggestion, didn't think of that. I'll also be adding a bottle of brake fluid to the kit! Vice grips to clamp off the torn brake line, some fluid to refill the reservoir, and your good to go!
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd after you take out all the adjustable wrenches you will have all kinds of extra storage. 😆
Hahahahaha, ya no sh*t! I don't even know how all 6 of those ended up in there, yet my hammer was missing...lol. Definitely need to re-organize it. I've gotten some good ideas from the comments on other items I should add too.... once I remove some adjustable wrenches.......
Thank you for this SUPER informative video! I also overkilll everything.which makes this video perfect for me. I’m new to this sport and will use everything I learned from this video for my next ride.Thanks again !
Hey, stoked you found the video helpful! It's only overkill until you need it, then it's just right! lol.
Thank you Sr. Just got a 2023 Maverick Max yesterday.. new in the sport!.. great vid!
Love the videos keep them coming. I carry pretty much the same stuff. I remedied the belt thought with a Honda.
Helpful. Thanks. My kit needs a lot of work. I have a few basics, but some of them are super bulky, as they were purchased for taking my old truck off road. I’d love to slim down some items, to make room for many more helpful items.
Come to Southwest Virginia and ride the Spearhead trail system. There is multiple trails that are all located pretty close together.
It's on the bucket list Tyler.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd maybe we can try and link up when you come. A group of about 5 of us go all the time and know all the good trails.
Thanks I wrote down 17 things I dont carry your a badass I cant run that box I made a new carrier for my general but I'll definitely be getting what I dont carry keep the videos coming
Hey Brad, glad you found the video informative! The more prepared we are, the long we can stay out and ride!
Hammer and Axel pulling tool as well as a couple ratchet straps... keep doing your thing!!! Awesome info
Went out for some trail riding this weekend, forgot my jumper box and left the key on in the rzr…needless to say I’ll be buying an extra one to keep in the rzr since I usually carry it in my truck and I towed my rzr with my father in laws truck
I don't always break down but when I do I want to be with this guy ha..not sure if I seen the kitchen sink but I bet it's in there
I found out that an battery operated impact drill works easier and faster on the trail just make sure you have a battery always 100 percent charged
So looking at your toe box and scene the green slime bottle is a good product to have. The new replacement that is far superior to green slime is Tire jet you can see the video that's made by the company and others that use the product. When the guy has 30 year-old tires and runs over a series of nail punctures it will seal it within seconds. As you know any medicines U-Haul need to be kept away from the heat especially the engine
Hey man, I'll have to check out Tire Jet. Appreciate you sharing that. I agree with the heat. I often replace stuff in the med kit. The only actual medications I carry are the mild over the counter analgesics like Tylenol and Advil as well as some Benadryl. I replace them every few months. I know the heat isn't optimal but they are quite stable when it comes to meds. Worst case scenario they make lose some potency.
That was a really helpful video showing what to be prepared for on the trail. Alot of people don't think about the "what ifs" so they get caught unprepared. Thanks Julian!
PS, my wife and I did get some camo T shirts so we will be somewhat protected :)
Did you mention a thermostat sensor and a quart of engine oil . I would watch you restoring the Datsun. . Back in the day I owned 1984 Mazda RX 7 . Great video as always
Hey croman1, you're right, I should have some engine oil. I don't have a thermostat sensor in there. I had a first generation RX7 as well. I really regret getting rid of that thing. Such cool little cars. My biggest problem is I have so many projects and not enough time or budget to work on them all at once, lol.
New to sport and this is a great vid to use as a starter kit and I can customize it to my specific needs. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this video. Picking up my first UTV an Arctic trail tomorrow. Will be putting in the garage and starting the way I want do things, this video helps more then you know.
Amazing how much inventory you can put in that box. Great tips!
Glad you enjoyed the video Boom 42. Ya, I sure do cram a ton of stuff into that box and there is usually still enough room in there for an extra pair of goggles, a sweater and some snacks.
Snatch block, dust masks, saline eye wash, box cutter?
Wow, and I thought my plate was full.🤯
I should definitely add a snatch block or two in there.
I'm kind-of-thinkin' a fellow should just throw a chain around his shop and pull it behind the RZR. Nice video dude. Thanks
Might add some MRE style food. Great for diabetics and those at risk for hypothermia... some fuel for the ole fire and get the blood sugar and electrolytes up. 👍🏼
I usually carry a cooler with food ans drinks. In regards to fire I have a fire starter in there and also carry some Trioxane fuel packs in there. The gear box is a constant work in progress, always adding new things and removing others I don't use. Appreciate all the feedback everyone is giving.
Been riding and guiding for years and this was a good video. You certainly have a lot of gear. I keep less of everything to stay light and compact, but I'm always hoping someone has more gear than me, lol. I carry more of the winching and recovery side of the gear. Its impossible to have a perfect box but I ride with guys that literally take nothing. Thats completely amateur. Good informative video.
Dang Julian,i thought i carried alot of stuff lol,i have a ridgid toolbox with the Isota brackets to mount it in the back,super nice setup,check it out!
Those Ridig boxes are awesome! My buddy has a few of them. Milwaukee makes similar ones now too. I've considered upgrading my gear box a few times now but I just love this one. I cracked a bottom corner on it this season so I just glued it back together. Maybe I'll just see if I can get a new one that's exactly the same. I love that the lid lifts right off, makes it super easy to get into when there is other gear around it too.
Wow. You have alot that I didn't think about. Very good information. Thank you for the video. I do have to say you did forget the most important thing. Toilet paper. Paper towels can get ruff on the butt. 😆. Also I are a pistol in a dry box just in case.. there is always the possibilities of a bear or ticked off moose. Heck you may get stranded and need to eat. Keep up the good work. I'm going to check out what else you have.
Cool video. How about a video about performing fixes on the trail. Thanks
That was exactly what I was looking for. Some OCD Jerk like myself to compare against. Perfect!
Hahahahaha! Glad you can relate. I rather be over prepared than under prepared any day!
you need to get j.b weld that come in a round plastic cylinder, its way better than the one you are using, you can cut it with almost anything, the texture is more like hard gum no dripping or sagging, dry time 5-10 min.
I've seen that stuff! I think I've used it once or twice but it wasn't the JB Weld brand. Good suggestion Jose, thanks. I'll be adding some of that for sure!
Great video for the winter and to misquote someone famous : " plans are useless, but preparation is indispensable".
Simple things can go along way, like checking air pressure and greasing zirks and religiously cleaning radiators.
You alluded to it with the extensions and straps, but I believe you forgot to mention the winch itself.
I've got a wraparound trunk from Wes industries on my outlander max that I love- I use plastic ammo cans to keep it organized and my compressor even fits into one ( don't ask your friends girlfriend to try inflating a flat tire by blowing into it.)
lol, how did you learn that lesson Luke? hahaha. Ya, being prepared is key to having a good time. That's why I always preach the importance of focusing on preventative maintenance. I have to say that our group is really good at all this, we all agree on these concepts. In the past a few guys tried to join the group and ride with us and their machines kept breaking down, they wouldn't take care of them and it was problem after problem so we had to kindly ask them to remedy the reoccurring issues they were having and please not return until they did. We don't get to ride as much as we want and when you get an hour into a ride and then need to spend 4 hours extracting someone over and over it loses it's appeal really quickly.
How bout clutch parts n clutch tools or spare clutches just in case you destroy one . Spare spare bearings( wheel) seals
Awesome video as always! I like to carry a few clevis’ or shackles as well as couple small snatch blocks they can help re direct your winch line or make it so you can two part your winch line doubling its pulling capacity. Other wise killer box 🤘🏼
Stoked you enjoyed the video. You are right, I should have a snatch block in there! I'll be adding one. A few of the other guys in the group carry them and they have saved our butts in the past.
Great info. We live in Fl. and were going to HFM in June never been riding in any kind of elevation or rocks to speak of before . Now we have a pretty good idea as to what to put in the box. Love your video`s
Absolutely awesome video.
I take get my first ITV in a few days. Very excited to begin the journey.
2021 RZR XP 1000.
I also have extensive 38 year fire/EMS background and really appreciate your massive trail kit.
I will watch again and make a list. Thanks for taking the time to help others with this video..
I subscribed after watching this.
Thanks again and thanks for your service.
Great video, thanks. Stay cool and be safe.
Thanks Brett! Glad you enjoyed the video. Ride safe man!
Great video!!!!!! :-) OH!!!....and a tomahawk is very handy!!!! .....and a snatch block!!!! ....get a 6' engine strap as a "tree saver"......you can wrap it around brush if no trees are around to pull yourself out of trouble :-)
Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to share.
Great video idea. That box has obviously been made after years of trial and error lol. I didn't see a hammer... I know every tool is a hammer when you need it, but I still to keep a couple of varying weights/sizes
lol, you know I would never leave out the "Honda Tool" on purpose Nathan. I must have let someone use it and those Bast**ds never gave it back! If I had another hammer in there I would have taught them a lesson! lol. The hammer will be returning once I re-stock everything.
Great video man. I would add a tourniquet to your first aid kit. And some sort of eye wash flushing kit.
Poke a hole in the cap of a bottle of water and there is your eye cleaner station
Cool, I have always enjoyed your Videos, when I'm stuck working, I fire up one of your long plays and I'm out on the Trail with you guys. Just do what you've been doing, it's been awesome so far! Thanks.
And your Mother is still wondering where the hell did all her tupper ware go! lol Dude take out 4 adjustable wrenches and add a Ford tool/ hammer. If it fails tap it with a hammer first. lol Something for clotting (Like QuickClot) for serious wounds is good to have. I'm a retired EMS Provider. Good video!
I’ve been spamming SXSBLOG comments on every video saying y’all need to do a ride together
Hahaha, solid strategy Wooden Creations, lol. I'm thinking that when I head down to Michigan this spring/summer to ride with Michigan Dirt maybe we can also do a ride with SXS Blog if they want to.
I agree. You and sxsblog are 2 of my favorite channels besides swampass. Collaborations are always great!
Appreciate your videos, especially for someone just getting into the sport. Having a blast going through your past videos fun to watch and educational for sure. It's amazing to see what these machines are capable of...keep up the awesome work... If you ever decide to do a ride south of the border in MN post it would be awesome to join your guys!!
It would be cool if you actually had a written list you could share.
I'll have to make an update to this video in the near future. I'll put together a list for it! Good idea.
Having just a tire tube works well too rather than trying to throw multiple plugs in it
I might have missed it but did you have a flashlight in there? If not add a few for sure, maybe a headlamp also.
Ya, I usually do have a mag light in there, I was using it the other day and forgot to put it back, lol. The headlight is a great Idea. I'll be adding one for sure now that you bring it up. I've got one kicking around I hardly ever use.
AdrenalineJunkieProd Cree led lights with rechargeable 18650 batteries are far superior to mag. Much more inexpensive as well. $5 Chinese cree flashlight with one battery puts out more light than a mag with 3 d cells.
You guys should come check out windrock or Royal blue here in Tennessee.
Hey Wardog, it's on the list for this summer. I want to try to get down there late May if I can for the white knuckle event but not sure if it will fit my schedule yet. I would like to spend about a week down there and ride Brimstone, Royal Blue and Windrock. I've also heard that Tackette Creek in the area is awesome.
AdrenalineJunkieProd well it’s May, so you think Tennessee is in your schedule?
LOVE your videos, man!! This one in particular has helped me a bunch to load up my trail kit. I’m not a hardcore rider (Ranger Northstar), but I spend every spare minute I can in my ride. Heard you say you were a front line health care worker. Love for you to check out a song called HERO’S HEART by Robyn Slade, written for first responders and all those who make a difference in the world.
PS I also love that you discuss where to purchase these items in the States AND North of the border. Great help for us up here lol. Thanks for what you do, and keep making great videos!!!!
Hey man! Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. Glad you found the video informative and helpful. I'll check out the song! Many more videos on the way.
did you ever make a video on first aid kit for trail rides?
It’s on my list still, lol. Just never enough hours in the day.
I want to make an updated video of this and a first aid kit.
How about explaining and showing us the factory toolkit. Tell us whats good, whats not etc...
OK, cool. Great idea. I'll try to make a video of that in the next little while.
Now you know I love all the Videos you make and I watch them all BUT there is something missing in the kit you need to bring and that is a matter of life or death I can't believe you for got it. BEER where is the beer that's a must on any trip and in the winter its Whiskey or Rum you know to keep you warm . Lol great Vid Bro
Dane... brother.... here at #TeamAJP we don't support alcohol abuse... Beer always deserves it's own box....... ;) ;) I should do a video on that, hahahaha. "What you need in your off-road cooler" lol.
I carry shop towels also. Nice videos.!
Glad you liked the video. Ya, I usually have some paper towels or shop towels in there too.
Killer garage setup
Thanks man... it's my sanctuary. Don't know what I'd do without it. I'm super lucky to have a setup like this.
AdrenalineJunkieProd oh ya i bet
Nice kit. Check out mora knives some time. They make a dirt cheap, wicked sharp secondary knife.
Thanks man! I have 3 Mora's. For the money they are impossible to beat. They are probably one of my favorite all around daily carries. Especially for riding. I'll be making an updated kit video in the next little while.
Love the vids bud! Getting my razor xp pro 4 in a couple months. Def can’t wait to start putting a kit together
Good job !! Always need to be prepared.👍🏻
Enjoy all of your videos 👍🏻
@@samrobinson1851 It pays to be prepared. Carrying all this stuff has saved my ass and the asses of the guys I ride with multiple times. Stoked you enjoy the videos, I've got a lot planned for 2019, stay tuned!
Hammer, and flash light then your golden
Ya, I'm not sure where the hammer disappeared to. I usually have a 3D Mag Light in there too.
Awesome video thanks for doing this. Very helpful to a new owner.
#1 Waterproof box that floats.>>LOL
LOL! Both of us have tested our boxes for that. I've got video evidence of you testing yours and me testing mine, hahaha.
Awesome job on the video bud! I appreciate ya making this video. This video is long time coming for me as well. I definitely learned some stuff from your kit and will be adding more to mine that you explained in detail.
I don't think I'll have 6 adjustable wrenches like you though 😁😂. Keep up the awesome work bud. Hopefully we can get together and create some trail carnage sometime 😎.
Excellent video
Love the vid, only thing I could see you need, from my limited knowledge, is a couple CAT tourniquets. Lots of great ideas added to my tool box though.
Wow I'm way under prepared 😲💯
Well now you know how to change that! lol. I may be a little over prepared.... lol.
hey man that was a great video super informative looks like you got a little bit of everything I think I'm going to build a box the exact same way with a short trip to harbor freight Home Depot and Walmart I should be able to do anything on the trail thanks again for doing a video like this it was a huge help for me
Bro! you need a Atlas 46 tool roll, yesterday!!!
OMG, ya I do... I just looked it up. I might need two... lmao. I think I'll be ordering one up real soon. It will really clean up my gear box. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd I have a couple myself, one for truck and one for the RZR, no Ragrets! ;)
Great video definitely need tools when going on long trip
Ya man, for sure you do. There is a ton of little issues you can fix in a matter of minutes if you have tools that would otherwise cause you to be stranded. Gotta be prepared.
Absolutely!
awesome tool pack man!
Thanks r324ever! It's saved my ass countless times.
Love the videos man
Thanks Michael! Stoked you enjoy the videos man! Many more on the way.
Good video and great tips. keep up the videos!
Thanks MuddingForPart#'s! Stoked you enjoy the videos and found this one helpful.
Thanks for the video!
I have about 5 of these iteams after wacthing this im paranoid as hell now.
lol, don't be paranoid... be prepared. I am over prepared, I doubt most people need ALL of this stuff.
How the hell did I miss this upload ? Great vid man ... Can't carry this much stuff when on 2 wheels in the bush .... Good stuff to know man ... Thanks for the heads up .
Friskars? Is that a machete for cats? A combination of Fiskars and Friskee's cat food?
Hahahahaha.... I don't know how to answer that... lol.
Your doing a great job!
Thanks mike, appreciate it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Thanks for the video bro I live in South Carolina myself when I heard you mention you're releasing other videos I heard you mention South Carolina and one of them was that Carolina Adventure World by any chance and if not where was it cuz I'm new to the area
Hey Rob, one of the videos will be from Carolina Adventure world. It's a fun place to spend the day. Especially if you like mud, they have some nasty red clay mud holes. I'd go back again. There is a ton of nice mid-high speed trails that are a blast to rip around and chase your buddies on. Also some good climbs. Good mix of trails.
@@AdrenalineJunkieProd Right on thanks for getting back with me good to know what's a good place to ride they sure didn't get a lot of positive feedback as far as the facility itself and how expensive it is and the people who work there and the cabins hopefully that's changed
Why is it nobody is packing the primary clutch removal tool. If your belt shreds there is a good chance it will get behind the pulley. If it's not all removed it will burn out the engine case seal. What do you think about this.
I think it’s a valid point. The primary can be really tough to remove even with an impact gun and puller but it is a great suggestion. Might have to add that.
Great info brother! That looks just like my box.... If you replace all the useful stuff with ham sandwiches HAHAH!
Hahahahaha. Ya gotta stay nourished! You drive a Wildcat XX and I've seen the hell you put it through and it still keeps going.... you don't need tools. As long as you have energy from all those ham sandwiches then XX will keep goin, lol.
Maybe a shovel......great video
Great tips and video!
Thanks Joseph! Glad you found the video informative.
