If you are going to use superglue for cuts then it should be medical grade superglue not toolbox grade. It can't be used on all types of cuts either. You are better carrying wound closure strips which weigh nothing at all. Great video though and will alter a few things in my pack. I didn't realise there was a potential problem with CO2 cartridges. I will take a pump in future as well.
@@robb.sutton very true, medical grade cyanoacrylate glues are identical to hardware store brands other than the fact that they go through a more rigorous testing schedule. Regular CA glues are very safe
No just use normal superglue. You don’t put the glue into the wound anyway. It’s designed to glue the skin together. I’m a doctor and yes we use it all of the time. I’m sure the medical glue we use is claimed to be some sort of sterile chemicals but it’s just an excuse to charge us a fortune.
Dude I’ve used “tool box “ super glue multiple times for cuts… it’s not like any bacteria can live in that stuff. Don’t be scared dude it’s not gonna hurt you!
Recommendations from a few experienced riders I know: Duct tape covered thin credit card to use on a sidewall hole. Small bottle of sealant. Lighter. BandAids, Ace bandage and small Neosporin. A little duct tape on a small wood dowel. Trace Minerals Electrolyte Stamina Pills - (like to only have water in hydration bladder). Honorable mention: Toilet paper in a zip lock bag, compass, Tylenol, lens cloth. Great video thanks.
Great list! I have two items I never go without riding in the hills of SoCal: a whistle and a small can of pepper spray. Although, I never crashed bad enough that I could not ride out, you can blow on a whistle longer than yelling to get someone's attention and the sound will go further. The pepper spray is for the possible mountain lion that roamed the CA hills. Ride or die!
@@RustyX2010 bikers have been ambushed by mountain lions and dragged away. Bike was found laying on a trail. This is near Irvine area in the hills. Also videos of mountain lions following them which is kinda sketch. Always warning signs in bold around here warning you.
Some other suggestions - rubber gloves, rear mech hanger, leatherman type tool to have some pliers and a small led flashlight. I also keep all the really important stuff in a ortlieb waterproof seat bag (yes, I have a dropper) so I always have the essentials with me even on a local post work rip
I've been riding with A Camelback Narrow Gage backpack for over 25years &15,000 miles and it still works as well as the day I purchased it. Amazing bag
I carry a Tubolito Tube instead of a cheap and heavy regular tube. Tubolito tubes are about 1/4 the weight of a regular tube and 2X stronger. They also come in an orange color, which is rad! I agree with your setup but sometimes its fun to go packless. I have a Race Face velcro strap with pockets in it that houses my Co2 cartridge, a Wolftooth pack & pliers (which has my spare masterlinks), 1 tire lever (the wolftooth pliers count as the other one) and a Dynaplug patch kit. I have a Topeak multitool mounted separately under my top tube.
Wicked smaht man! As a paramedic I especially appreciate the ID w/allergies and such. Makes a major difference in the car I can provide to someone who can’t tell me about their medical history. Good going!
First aid kit definitely Para cord 12ft+ u can be towed with it ,I have a quick chain link/ tire removal tool, extra 9,10,11 speed quick links for the riders that never have one with broken chains. 😆 a few extra pounds doesn't mean much anymore.
All excellent tips, however I will offer a counterpoint on the super glue. I don’t necessarily agree with other commenters about the toxicity of super glue; the minimal amount used will not adversely affect the body. However the issue I have with super glue is sealing up the wound. It is extremely difficult to properly irrigate a laceration trail side. Permanently sealing up a wound with super glue (or sutures) in the field locks in any possible infection. It is far better to allow the wound to clot and/or stop bleeding on its own (your body will eventually minimize blood flow to the area and thus stop bleeding on its own for all but very serious wounds). If necessary some duct tape and a little bit of tincture of benzoine (aids in adhesion) will temporarily seal the wound up while still allowing your body to push any infectious substances out. A little duct tape (I prefer gorilla tape) wrapped around an old key card is also light weight and serves tons of purposes.
I also carry a small roll of Gorilla Tape! Have used it so many times on the trail!! The last time a friend of mine snapped a handle bar and we taped a piece of wood to get him down the trail really slow!!
I like your video and there are several ideas I will copy. Thank you for that! What I carry with me on MTB and road bike tours are (1) disposable gloves: no weight or space and your hands will stay clean if you need to fix the chain. (2) And for ‚emergency nutrition‘ I have Salty sticks or Pattassium/Magnesium sticks with me: again: hardly any weight or space, and it gives you or fellow riders the quick kick of energy, when desperatly needed.
U-shaped strong wire tot keep your chain together when you need to replace a broken part of the chain. Spare cables for breaks and gearshifters. New glue for fixing a puncture. Using komoot on your phone can help others to locate you when in distress. Good video!
Great video. One thing I always carry is a 4" trauma bandage. They are small, light and vacuum sealed. Only about $6 and can be worth their weight in gold.
If you’re truly concerned about weight/size, I recommend looking into the OneUp pump and EDC kit. The pump is light and can store a very high quality and fully-functional OneUp toolkit, plus a “stash” area in the pump that can be used to store small knickknacks like valve cores, zip ties, etc, or can be used to carry a CO2. Also Tubolito tubes are nice if you’re similarly worried about size/weight and are willing to pay the bucks.
One Up just released a thread less version of the steerer tube multi tool setup too. I might have to try that out. The only thing that kept me from the previous version is that I didn’t want to thread my steerer tube.
I. Agree w most of your picks. Additionally, I throw in some bandaids and tissue in ziplock. I don’t normally carry extra tube unless going on extra long ride then I can use my camelback for storage.
I'd also bring a headlamp or a small flashlight and some Paracord that you could tie to your bike frame if it gets too dark to see. I got kinda lost and it got dark but had a keychain flashlight on my keys that I held in my mouth while riding that saved me in a pinch! Now I carry a bigger light and a way to mount it.
my main one i carry always. foldable water bottle (think plastic sandwhich bag with a sports top) and some water purification tablets. If im on a ride and touch wood my bottle falls out its carrier without my knoweledge, or my hydration pack springs a leak. Its small and light enough to not be a problem. and if i need it i can fill it up from a stream and chuck a purification tab in. or find somewhere to fill it up. I even keep some duct tape on the tablet bottle. so if my pack does spring a leak i can patch it up to either carry more water or retain as much as left over. Fortunatly never had to do this but the peace of mind its there if i need it is worth the tiny amount of space it takes up
Few bucks/bus fare. Leatherman tool. Medications: prescribed and Alleve/Tylenol/Benadryl (Vit I melts when really hot) Cables. Extra 4&5mm Hex. Multi tool ones sometimes don't fit or are long enough. Little duct tape.
Great video. Maybe look into the R.A.T. tourniquet. They obviously help if you have a bad compound fracture etc but also they can be used to lash something down, splinting, and other uses. They are small and light, I'll bet you'll figure out a bunch of other uses too.
I use a length of electrical tape to hold the zip ties together. Keeps them neat and means you have some strong tape if you need it. The tube I carry on the bike with a strap and the chain link I tape into the recess on the back of my brake lever. I never though about the glue or wet wipes though. They're getting added.
4-16oz Co2 cannisters and inflator ( Hurray for Trek carbon bike frame storage ) ! A spare master link and presta core tool with 6 cores . a topeak pressure gauge , tubeless plug kit and slime patches in a seat bag . In a hip pouch , a pepper spray can and a compact 9mm ( crazy world We live in ) . a micro flashlight with spare batteries . A 6k power bank and cable to charge a cell phone . A pair of bontrager ion flare 200 lights with a flare 200 tail light too , as their very small . On the frame in a large cage rests a 18 ozHydra flask thermo vacuum bottle ( stays cold !!!! with powerade /Gatorade . If i am on a long ride I carry a backpack with a platypus 1 gallon bladder , some trail food , tool kit another flashlight , compact emergency flares and whistle , ultralite rain gear .even a collapsable snake hook and I have kindly removed several poisionous snakes from bike / hiking paths .
as i do many sports all year long, i do always carry small "first aid kit" with me as an the most important essential. almost always i carry few more things - head lamp and lights, spare thermo tshirt (as i live in a mountains), lighter, mini lip balm and buff (or two). Even on the most beautiful day i have my goretex jacket with me.
I would add a small tube of hand sanitiser and sunscreen. Fwiw super glue was actually initially developed to hold wounds together for the us army. It's an interesting story when you read about it.
Also adding a comb and tweezers for my Cactus lovers, lighter or matches, agree with the light as a precaution, but also something to power charge your phone, a compass on your bike, and recently decided to add a bungee cord in the event needing to pull another bike with biker off the trail and repair efforts failed. Way too hot to wait for rescue.
Depends where and what you ride.. I ride bike park gnarly. OneUp edc in stem - tools levers links tyre repairs In my hip pack - Inreach, tube, co2, pump, no ties never ever had a need, slow energy release bar, cliff bar, basic first aid. Optional.. phone for navigation (trailforks), Cold weather clothing.. That’s it, and I’m that guy who’s got it to help on the trail.
I carry almost everything you carry plus a first aid kit. But I need to add super glue and spare links to the list. Like the evoc bag. Think I’m gonna get one.
I hate wearing anything on my back, especially now in summer... I don't even wear the padded shorts... It's a bit less comfortable, but the balls are thankful in the hot weather lol So I have two bottle cages on the bike with 1L bottle each, small pump mounted there as well... And I have a small bag that mounts under my seat that has the inner tube, multitool, tyre patches and tyre levers and spare quick link... And I wear a small fanny pack for phone, cash, ID and food. I usually ride around 20-40 km and I know the area pretty well. So if I go for a longer ride, I just plan a stop somewhere where I can get more water. I have a Camelback that I take when it's not too hot/for longer rides but try to avoid it.
My fishing pole, tackle, hand reel, tarp, rope, light, Victorinox Spirit X, pump,cheater glasses, gloves, split joint bow trapper, keys, now grey squirrel is in soon the pcp air bandit .22 and a few pellets.
Not sure if you’ve considered it but with some of the part replacement items, could you make a video explaining how to use them on the bike should you have to use them
I carry some if the stuff you talked about. The MyId thing it is a great idea. I will like to add a whistle, this is just in case you forgot your phone (which it rarely happens) and you are not badly injured, are alone on the trail but would need some help, someone might at a distance close enough to hear you blow that whistle.
SOL emergency Bivvy, it's bright orange and can aid in being located should a gnarly spill limit your mobility and it reflects back your body heat which is useful in fighting off hypothermia or the effects of shock.
Awesome vid and great suggestions. I've got most of that on me but I love the hip pack idea... It's on my next buy list. Noticed you had a GPS /phone mount on your bars... You have a video on that?
This list almost 1:1 mirrors my backpack, but 1 warning over superglue : Super Glue is a cyanoacrylate adhesive, and it contains toxins that can be harmful to tissue. So, keep it in your toolbox. For the medicine kit, however, the FDA has approved a less toxic, more flexible formulation (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) called Dermabond. It dries fast, stops the bleeding, keeps out dirt and air, and typically stays in place until the cut is healed. It is not, however, recommended for deep or jagged wounds, use on mobile areas such as joints, or contaminated wounds.
Yup, my father, truck driver, used ca glue in a pinch on the road to glue his teeth prosthetic. Had to be taken out to hospital due to very bad poisoning. So yeah definitely don't glue any mouth cuts or anywhere where blood absorption is increased.
Ppl carry stuff to repair the chain and lock the chain on one gear when gears breaking . I will start with this bur i wanna end up beeing totally prepared
Read so many comments. Nobody else brings a little 2oz bottle of tire sealant? Been one of my items from day one. If a tire gets an insane puncture and all the sealant shoots out in 2 seconds, I want to be able to make sure I can add more sealant to my tire after I fix the puncture, or add sealant inside the inner tube to protect it if I have to put a tube in.
I noted ONE quite interesting thing. According to your video and a lot of other bloggers' videos, people in West countries wear Wet wipes in zip plastic packs. Why? There are a lot of tiny and middle wet wipes in the shops in hermetic pack it is very comfortable sollution in my opinion. In my opinion it is a better solution instead of buying XXXXXL wet wipes pack and get from the couple of wet wipes with you in plastic zip pack Could you pls explain your choice Thx a lot
Most of the grocery stores and everywhere around here sells the big packs. We also use them around the house for the dogs and other stuff so it is easier just to grab a couple and put them in a ziplock bag.
Really liked the video and thought it was very helpful! I do think you should add a tourniquet better than the tube and super glue was invented to seal cuts by it has toxins in it the stuff they use in ERs is liquid stitch different product..
Really like your style of no BS info. Only other must have in my kit is a film canister with vaseline soaked cotton balls/lighter or some other minimal fire starter.
Emergency money, small disinfectant tubes that you break open when needed, some bandages, painkillers, electric tape, lighter and a basic pocket knife. Depending on location an emergency blanket.
Thanks for the video. I’ll be buying some of the items using your affiliate links. FYI, a couple of your links no longer resolve in case you want to swap them out. The spare tube link and the MyId links aren’t working anymore.
Talking about medical, its a great idea to go get some real trauma training. I lost a great friend to a big tree that fell down and pinned his shoulder/chest. Despite even extensive trauma trained professionals with us he still didn't make it halfway to the helicopter. If he only would have lost an arm, we could have saved him with just a tourniquet. You can't save everyone, but if you don't know how to, then you won't save anyone.
Other than a lil mini tool (made of metal) Water is the heaviest thing we carry on a bike ride. Mistake number 1 Water should never be carried on the person,thats why bikes have had bottle cages from the beginning of time.Do not carry water on the person. Mistake number 2 even a tiny saddlebag will carry a mini tool,tube,level,co2,patch. Mistake number 3 Wear a cyle top,it will have 2 or 3 pockets in the back,enough for a pump,waterproofs,food,keys,phone,things that weigh next to nothing. Good show.
@@joeso8114 4 litres of water ? you re going for a bike ride,not a weekend away camping with no water source. Bikes have 2 bottle cage mounts,for 2 water bottles/bidons = upto 2 litres. If thats not enough stop at a shop or a tap. Cycle tourers/campers wouldnt carry 4 litres of water every day,and they could be touring for months.
@@archie2archie I carry a water filter when I'm on a trail that has water but a lot of the trails in FL are dry and you can be hours away from anything in the brush. You can go through a lot of water on a hot day out for 6 hours or so on the trails, with no shops to stop at. I guess it depends on each users riding style. I need to carry a full day of food so I already have a pack with me. My MTB does not easily fit two water bottles, I can get one full and a mini wedged in but that less then 1/2 the water I will use in a day.

De acuerdo, muchas gracias
I also add a pair of latex gloves - they have multiple uses and go alongside those wetwipes for when you have to go....
A.) Why the fuck would you need to poop on the trail?
B.) Where the fuck are you gonna put them when your done using them?

Great info. Could you do a video of how you use these items? I’m new and I don’t know anything about mountain biking.
I have some tutorials on the video to do list. They will be coming up soon.
Soap. Can be used to wash of course but also as lubricant to make tire dismounting and mounting sooooo much easier.
Great idea. Dawn dish soap can be used for a lot of different things.

A few bandaids and bandage i bring too if taking a bag of any kind
Depends where and what you ride.. I ride bike park gnarly.
OneUp edc in stem - tools levers links tyre repairs
In my hip pack - Inreach, tube, co2, pump, no ties never ever had a need, slow energy release bar, cliff bar, basic first aid.
Optional.. phone for navigation (trailforks), Cold weather clothing..
That’s it, and I’m that guy who’s got it to help on the trail.
The pay it forward concept is real. I can't tell you how many tubes I have given away over the years. Luckily I never needed one right afterwards.
Thanks for all that info, will add your suggestions to my pack on my MTB rides.
Im going to subscribe just bc you you eat Paydays, lol
They are the best out on the trail!
I carry almost everything you carry plus a first aid kit. But I need to add super glue and spare links to the list. Like the evoc bag. Think I’m gonna get one.

Awesome list! Thanks!
I’m watching your vids due to being a EUC rider. Electric Unicycle Life.
In addition to your great list, I recommend paper map for your area and first aid kit. Nice vid :)
SOL emergency Bivvy, it's bright orange and can aid in being located should a gnarly spill limit your mobility and it reflects back your body heat which is useful in fighting off hypothermia or the effects of shock.
Awesome vid and great suggestions. I've got most of that on me but I love the hip pack idea... It's on my next buy list.
Noticed you had a GPS /phone mount on your bars... You have a video on that?
That is actually my Wahoo computer. If I was using a phone mount, I would probably look at Quad Lock.
great video thanks for the helpful list!
Awesome video. Thanks a million! Gonna save it
Great video!!! Good info. Thanks.
Great video, mate! I dont think I have as much gear as you haha
This list almost 1:1 mirrors my backpack, but 1 warning over superglue : Super Glue is a cyanoacrylate adhesive, and it contains toxins that can be harmful to tissue. So, keep it in your toolbox. For the medicine kit, however, the FDA has approved a less toxic, more flexible formulation (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) called Dermabond. It dries fast, stops the bleeding, keeps out dirt and air, and typically stays in place until the cut is healed. It is not, however, recommended for deep or jagged wounds, use on mobile areas such as joints, or contaminated wounds.
I agree but my surgeons said it is minimal. The alternative is definitely better.
Yup, my father, truck driver, used ca glue in a pinch on the road to glue his teeth prosthetic. Had to be taken out to hospital due to very bad poisoning. So yeah definitely don't glue any mouth cuts or anywhere where blood absorption is increased.
damnnn 😙
Thank you for the content.
You can make attachments for your bike as well you don't always have to carry everything on yoh
1# silicon pipe, glass bowl, packed with flower infused with resin, Bic lighter.
2# water
Nice info!
Ppl carry stuff to repair the chain and lock the chain on one gear when gears breaking . I will start with this bur i wanna end up beeing totally prepared
Read so many comments. Nobody else brings a little 2oz bottle of tire sealant? Been one of my items from day one. If a tire gets an insane puncture and all the sealant shoots out in 2 seconds, I want to be able to make sure I can add more sealant to my tire after I fix the puncture, or add sealant inside the inner tube to protect it if I have to put a tube in.
Good stuff.
thanks for the video
Definitely an emergency blanket or two. One to cover the ground and one to cover yourself.
Very good one to add. They make those really light and compact now too so they shouldn't add much weight or take up that much room.
I noted ONE quite interesting thing.
According to your video and a lot of other bloggers' videos, people in West countries wear Wet wipes in zip plastic packs. Why? There are a lot of tiny and middle wet wipes in the shops in hermetic pack it is very comfortable sollution in my opinion. In my opinion it is a better solution instead of buying XXXXXL wet wipes pack and get from the couple of wet wipes with you in plastic zip pack
Could you pls explain your choice
Thx a lot
Most of the grocery stores and everywhere around here sells the big packs. We also use them around the house for the dogs and other stuff so it is easier just to grab a couple and put them in a ziplock bag.
I put a couple ibuprofen in my first aid kit. I also saved one hydrocodone from my last crash for my next crash.
I need to add that. Great idea.
opium gum and visine 😜
thnak you for help,muct appreciated
Really liked the video and thought it was very helpful! I do think you should add a tourniquet better than the tube and super glue was invented to seal cuts by it has toxins in it the stuff they use in ERs is liquid stitch different product..
Throw in a clean microfiber cloth too.
i carry everything you mentioned missing the superglue :D what an idea!
On my last ride had nothing with me and nearly bleeded out :)
Learning with 40+ ...
I swear by superglue as a tradesman. Nothing better for quickly closing cuts
I cwreied my stuff in a general bag and its a mess im taking a good tool bag for this so all its organized
Love your tipps, but the one with super glue is hilarious :D
Super glue is good for you body :D All the chemicals
Surplus of water. I got dehydrated once, so now I'd rather carry that extra weight. For 40-50 km ride in the summer 3 litres is minimum.
Medical tape and butterfly bandaids in your first aid kit.
I didn't read all of the comments, but band aids of a couple of sizes would be good and they don't really weigh anything.
Need some adjustable rubber straps so I can secure a spare tube and other other stuff
1. Water
2. A waterproof jacket
3. A pump
4. A puncture repair kit or whatever it's called
im surprised oneup is not mentioned. you could put half of these tools in your pump.
Really like your style of no BS info. Only other must have in my kit is a film canister with vaseline soaked cotton balls/lighter or some other minimal fire starter.
Thanks Bill. I try to keep all of the videos like that. That is a great idea as well. Thanks for adding it to the list!
You can also carry a few crayons, they make good emergency candles and a fire starter and still have the paper on them.
Another good thing is a couple of ibuprofen tablets in first aid to help with pain and soreness from a fall
morphine
Thank you!!!
Muy bueno tu video muchas gracias, yes I would say cash
tubolito tubes very light and takes up a lot less room
Emergency money, small disinfectant tubes that you break open when needed, some bandages, painkillers, electric tape, lighter and a basic pocket knife. Depending on location an emergency blanket.
Small amount of duct tape wrapped around a half of a popcicle stick and two valve cores, plus 800 mg motrin and the rest is similar to your list.
Great additions.
Always.. always have to remained you about emergency blanket and first aid kit!
flex seal and vice grips 😜
Thanks for the video. I’ll be buying some of the items using your affiliate links. FYI, a couple of your links no longer resolve in case you want to swap them out. The spare tube link and the MyId links aren’t working anymore.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll get those updated and thanks for the support!
Spare derailleur hanger.
Talking about medical, its a great idea to go get some real trauma training. I lost a great friend to a big tree that fell down and pinned his shoulder/chest. Despite even extensive trauma trained professionals with us he still didn't make it halfway to the helicopter. If he only would have lost an arm, we could have saved him with just a tourniquet. You can't save everyone, but if you don't know how to, then you won't save anyone.
Great idea. My wife's trauma training actually saved my life a couple of years ago that she got from work. Never a bad idea to be more informed.
good tips
Other than a lil mini tool (made of metal) Water is the heaviest thing we carry on a bike ride. Mistake number 1 Water should never be carried on the person,thats why bikes have had bottle cages from the beginning of time.Do not carry water on the person. Mistake number 2 even a tiny saddlebag will carry a mini tool,tube,level,co2,patch. Mistake number 3 Wear a cyle top,it will have 2 or 3 pockets in the back,enough for a pump,waterproofs,food,keys,phone,things that weigh next to nothing. Good show.
You are not going to carry 4 liters of water on your bike for an all-day outing, some water will need to be carried on your person.
@@joeso8114 4 litres of water ? you re going for a bike ride,not a weekend away camping with no water source. Bikes have 2 bottle cage mounts,for 2 water bottles/bidons = upto 2 litres. If thats not enough stop at a shop or a tap. Cycle tourers/campers wouldnt carry 4 litres of water every day,and they could be touring for months.
@@archie2archie I carry a water filter when I'm on a trail that has water but a lot of the trails in FL are dry and you can be hours away from anything in the brush. You can go through a lot of water on a hot day out for 6 hours or so on the trails, with no shops to stop at. I guess it depends on each users riding style. I need to carry a full day of food so I already have a pack with me. My MTB does not easily fit two water bottles, I can get one full and a mini wedged in but that less then 1/2 the water I will use in a day.
