You're bringing a whole bunch of social equity with. You surely have subscribers all along your journey that would drop everything and come help with any fan and shit interactions
so far my favorite video love seeing all your gear and back up gear ! i still cant find a VXR or V3 or anything mathews used all i can find is the old solo cams .ahhhh
The only thing I'd add is a portable air compressor. I recommend the super Flo brand. They're small,light and hook up to anything with a battery cars,trucks,riding mowers etc.
A little late but you should look into getting a power tank or a on board air compressor in your truck I run one and it’s a life saver for just airing up a flat on trucks or dirtbikes and you can run air tools from in a pinch
you should look into a chest protector for the dirt bike ride. my buddy was on a trail in the dark and a stick stuck through his ribs stuck in his lung out his back if he didnt have a friend with him he would have expired on the trail, as we get older we get smarter especially us who have children. thats what your forgetting !!!
Nice video and equipment. I always forget something as well. This year? My high end pants. Just had one pair of jeans. #Idiot I didn't see chains and tow straps. Winch. We pulled some guy this 3rd season elk in Colorado off the side of a near vertical drop that wasn't equipped and in deep snow. 🦌
Ice in blocks but in your case different states and thirty days. Game bags! Pico De Gallo to keep the flys off the meat even while butchering in the field! Impact gun for lug nuts, extra truck battery.
If you are interested, there is a company out of Texas called packit gourmet. They do dehydrated meals not freeze dried. When I go out to the wilderness I love bringing their chili best I've ever had. They are only good for a year but tastes way better than any freeze dried meal I've tried!
Zip ties. A million uses. They are great for keeping the lids on those black and yellow creates. I have used them to a quiver back together after a fall. Was still able to get my black tail deer that day.
Maybe bring a portable car/truck jump starter. Never know if a light or something gets left on in the truck by accident. Incredible video man glad to see people taking their hunt this seriously
Self taught diy hunter here, this is my 5yr going. Always in the right neighborhood wrong cul de sac. Hoping this yrs the year. Keep up the great videos! I pick up something every time.
To be honest I disagree with this being a single or double. For me this video is a home run. Full setup breakdowns, that go into depth on everything they bring and WHY they bring it, are the best content for this time of year. Everyone of us lays all our gear out before packing and goes over items they are bringing from start to finish. Thank you for all the great content.
Tourniquet in that packaging is not a great idea if it needs to be used, or the strong rubber band around it in case you’re to weak to pull it off just sayin
If I were to add anything I would say tire chains for at least two tires. Tire chains on a slick muddy road are unbelievably effective. If you are expecting heavy rain or a bad storm overnight you could run a tarp from you truck rack to stakes in the ground to give you a little protection over your canvas sleep system. Also that "Backup Bow" is no doubt a lifesaver. Woke up to a Cracked limb at 9500 ft first morning of Idaho Elk hunt last year.... drove to Rexburg...Shout out to Mountain Archery for opening the shop early to hook me up with a new bow to get me back out in the field. On long trips...it can definitely be the difference between a major catastrophe or just an annoying occurrence. If you think about it, even if you get $900 for a used bow, that's way less than you would spend to save a multi-thousand $$ hunt. Great video Dan!!
One thing I like when truck camping that I didn’t see in your video is an easy up canopy w/side curtains. This has saved me several times in Idaho in a torrential down pour/hail storm.
I’m a mechanic so just some thoughts on truck repair stuff. Some extra hose clamps Radiator stop leak it’s not a permanent fix but it will help get you to a shop fill radiator with water if you loose coolant. You drive a Chevy so metric wrenches 6mm-24mm and impact sockets with a impact wrench 3/8 drive would be fine dewalt makes a decent one. Screwdrivers A spare fan belt ( best practice is replace your current belt or belts and keep the old ones to use in a pinch.) Not sure if it’s in there already but a tire plug kit and 12v air compressor hooks to the 12v outlet in truck. 14 gage wire and connectors Tube of red RTV silicone Zip ties Great video definitely got some stuff added to my packing list. Good luck this fall
Might have missed it but a tarp to throw up or attach to one side of the truck with sticks to make food or get out of the weather/sun. And a letterman that has the ability to change bits they make little kits with different bits and Allen keys that fit it plus all the other stuff on it. That’s what I carry and I have a set of folding Allen’s for back up. I also take a conceal carry pistol as back up to my open carry on my chest rig for the 2 legged wannabe predators
I don't know if this will get to you Dan, but I'll try anyways. Coming from someone that spends countless hours offroad. Either normal everyday life, hunting, farming, or even offroad racing spend some money and buy a Pro Eagle jack for your truck. You will thank me every single time you have to use it. It's designed to be used offroad. It rolls over gravel, dirt, rock, or whatever. If you use it once or twice it'll be well worth it. Especially with a lifted truck.
Garbage bags (pack out what you pack in) and they can be used in a pinch for a tarp a rain gear dry bag and so on. Best of luck this season. Only deer for me this year so I look forward to your videos so I can live vicariously through you
@@ElkShape You really should have one. You sold me on it in one video. Keep them coming and good luck on your Elk hunts. I will be waiting for those posts
Hey guys, I would recommend taking a Hoist Puller or otherwise known as a come along. It could come in handy if the truck gets stuck or even raising an Elk corpse to assist with skinning. Love the video, keep it up!
I had to use my continuous rope come along to get my jet boat off the rocks on a moose hunt. So much silt in the river you couldn't tell it was too shallow. Pretty versatile tool.
A leather strop to add that hair popping sharpness to a knife or Broadhead, cheap and small and very convenient for quick touch ups. And I always like to have some form of portable air compressor, especially with the dirt bikes.
I always have a pack of mini chem lights, not only great for keeping up with blood trails tracking in the dark but great way to mark where your walking if gps ever fails and electronics die tying to navigate the wood to keep you from walking in circles or to track back to a starting point. Also great to leave sign for help if you'r ever lost or truck broke down. Endless uses.
Love the video. Much to consider in my hunt/camp gear. Engineer & industrial maintenance/reliability manager by trade. My additions would be: 12v air compressor. Multimeter. Wire nuts. Ele tools. Spare vehicle parts. Vehicle fluids/filters. Vehicle specific tools. Vehicle service manuals. Vehicle diagnostic equipment.Back up no-cell coms system. 2=1, 1=none. Keep up the strong work.
Air compression or pig tank, couple cans of fix a flat, that jack will be money, unwrap and stag you tourniquet.... seconds matter if you're actually breaking that thing out and make sure everyone knows how to use them and where they're located
May have missed it, but I always carry some extra boot laces and 100ft of 550 cord in my pack. Also keep an extra pair of boots and insoles in the truck. One thing I've learned over the years hunting the Arizona desert and high country, you can hunt, for the most part, with a minor injury on most places on your body however if you mess up your feet in the middle of a hunt you are pretty much screwed. Best of luck with all your hunts this year and stay safe out there.
I actually have never lost a handheld - but generally speaking it does make me nervous, hence the back-up and the back-up-back-up... it's all about having a system in place and btw - I like index releases as well! -DS
Bro you just showed us like $40000 in gear no but for real man you're blessed you're a blessed man and I know you say that hard work is what got you there and I believe that
Curious to know more about how you use the one dirt bike when hunting a filming. Also, check out the tubliss system for dirt bike tires. Makes getting flats much less likely and easy to fix if you get one.
Tell your wife how much you and us appreciate her patience thru elk season! That’s number one of all that stuff. Truth is it all goes by real fast one day these will all be stories and memories we won’t be able to get up in there mountains. We will still have our wife’s I’m sure. Good luck Dan I look forward to the upcoming video’s .
you are blessed....some struggle to have one setup and you have backups on top of backups....ha....wish you luck bud....im a whitetail hunter but like your channel....hope to get out west for a elk hunt one day....
It feels like too much stuff but hey, you're prepared and will haul 1/2 of it home unused I bet. Since you've got the kitchen sink, add a solar panel, laser pointers, night vision goggles, drone,
Awesome video. I’m a self taught hunter. I remember watching @camhanes show his backcountry set up on the tailgate of his truck just so thirsty for knowledge. This video is phenomenal for someone without a lot of mentorship. I’m not sure what drill you are running, but make sure it’s an impact if it isn’t already. Then add a 3/8 socket adapter for the impact and ensure you have sockets for all of your lug nut sizes. Keep the tire iron as a backup or final torque. Rubber patch kit if it’s not already in your totes Thanks man 👍🏼
See what others have said about plastic on TQs but Benadryl. Any time you use epi it should be followed with antihistamines. (And a trip to the ER.) but it buys you more time.
Great stuff, i've added a few items you have to my pack list as well. two things i take in my truck that i didn't see in yours are: cordless impact wrench with impact sockets for changing tires as well as 12v air compressor. i have one that is probably the size of two sets of game bags and have used it several times while on trips.
Great video I just got back from archery mule deer in the ruby mts and your video is getting g me pumped up for next week d and getting all my shit ready
liquid transfer pump ---I had a ford truck that had the little funnel to hold open the capless gas flap, but I lost it one time, and trying to refuel was a pain because my fuel container did not have a hose spout.
I’ve been pondering about this video all day. I don’t think I saw an extra pair of binos. Electrical tape is amazing stuff but it can’t fix shattered glass because your binos feel down a mountain face
I think this is a homerun video, maybe dare to say its a grand slam; especially for new hunters who don't have the experience on what to bring or not too. The only thing i would mention is, Vasaline/foot powder for your feet, a larger battery generator like a Jackery, and road recover kit (snatch blocks for your winch). Great video, cant wait to see the outcome.
Consider one of the Milwaukee stacking toolbox setups so you can have all those tools/items in one organized spot (individual boxes come in different sizes/layouts and break away individually with handles too). Made a huge difference in my mobile archery kit as well as being organized for daily use at home
that is seriously amazing omg !!! wow 2 is 1 . 1 is none ! what a setup!
do more of these videos ! longer gear and truck videos sweeet!
You're bringing a whole bunch of social equity with. You surely have subscribers all along your journey that would drop everything and come help with any fan and shit interactions
so far my favorite video love seeing all your gear and back up gear ! i still cant find a VXR or V3 or anything mathews used all i can find is the old solo cams .ahhhh
Unless I missed it.... DUDE WIPES
no doubt!

I didn’t see a portable air pump.
Word!

thats what your forgetting !!!

I didn't see chains and tow straps. Winch. We pulled some guy this 3rd season elk in Colorado off the side of a near vertical drop that wasn't equipped and in deep snow.
🦌
Happy Birthday Dan!
Thank you 😊
Thank you 😊
you forgot to bring me
I felt like we were having an elk sleepover at 25:52
Great video. What is the brand of glassing pad you get off Amazon?
Road snacks, Playlist, travel coffee mug, kitchen sink,
Ice in blocks but in your case different states and thirty days.
Game bags!
Pico De Gallo to keep the flys off the meat even while butchering in the field!
Impact gun for lug nuts, extra truck battery.
As a mechanic for the truck part I always travel with a battery jump pack cause you never know when that truck won’t start for whatever reason.
High lift jack
If you are interested, there is a company out of Texas called packit gourmet. They do dehydrated meals not freeze dried. When I go out to the wilderness I love bringing their chili best I've ever had. They are only good for a year but tastes way better than any freeze dried meal I've tried!
Word!
Zip ties. A million uses. They are great for keeping the lids on those black and yellow creates.
I have used them to a quiver back together after a fall. Was still able to get my black tail deer that day.
Yup!
Maybe bring a portable car/truck jump starter. Never know if a light or something gets left on in the truck by accident. Incredible video man glad to see people taking their hunt this seriously
Self taught diy hunter here, this is my 5yr going. Always in the right neighborhood wrong cul de sac. Hoping this yrs the year. Keep up the great videos! I pick up something every time.
Small rechargeable air compressor in the truck
Dan you forget about a air compressor. Other then that looking pretty dialed in 👏
Noted

@elkshape Where is your poop kit? no toilet paper?
Disposable wet wipes bro 😎
unless I missed it, you didn't mention that you had that in your hunting packs. Never leave the truck without some tp/wipes.
Trash bags….very useful for a lot of things.
Jump Starter for truck battery
You're forgetting me ..

Haha! What!? New Mexico! Unit 10 instead of 9!?
Honestly guy like you. Squared away disciplined I'm surprised you don't have a excel spread sheet for your gear to check off.
Garmin mini, Axe, peak hiking stix

Not sure if it’s in there already but a tire plug kit and 12v air compressor hooks to the 12v outlet in truck.
14 gage wire and connectors
Tube of red RTV silicone
Zip ties
Great video definitely got some stuff added to my packing list. Good luck this fall
Dammit that’s solid advice! I will snag the hoses and clamps. Didn’t have those. Thank you! -Dan
The wedge shape roof top tent. Much quicker. Just double the price
Trust me - I've been eyeing a few BUT let's give the canvas cutter a go and make a decision after season! Thanks, -DS

I dont even elk hunt, just an archery nerd and whitetail guy. But this was dope to see. I want one of those sleeping pads just because 😂
Lol
Do you have a discount code for the marsupial gear?
No sir
@@ElkShape You really should have one. You sold me on it in one video. Keep them coming and good luck on your Elk hunts. I will be waiting for those posts
Permethrin and beer.
blister prevention
Hey guys, I would recommend taking a Hoist Puller or otherwise known as a come along. It could come in handy if the truck gets stuck or even raising an Elk corpse to assist with skinning.

Yeti coolers man. Yeti coolers.
Snow Chains
Camp shoes man got to love those crocs for that.
Booster pack for the truck
Where can I purchase iron will broadheads from?
What a great adventure..can't wait to see some video, did i see any water purifcation
sawyer filtration, aqua tabs and steripen! -DS
You forgot to post the TAC videos ;)
Coming Monday
Floor jacks can be very dangerous on dirt. Please be careful if you use that thing. They are meant to roll as you jack them up
I don't No how many arrows you got but maybe some extras
A leather strop to add that hair popping sharpness to a knife or Broadhead, cheap and small and very convenient for quick touch ups. And I always like to have some form of portable air compressor, especially with the dirt bikes.
Inside of my belt I put a little stropping compound just for this.
I always have a pack of mini chem lights, not only great for keeping up with blood trails tracking in the dark but great way to mark where your walking if gps ever fails and electronics die tying to navigate the wood to keep you from walking in circles or to track back to a starting point.

O….. and more beer…
Extra everything besides knives!
chap stick!!
Back up sights for your primary and secondary bow is always good to have and extra sight tapes you just never know
Add a jump pack. Dewalt makes a good one. It’s jumper cables, tire pump, ac & usb power and an alternator check all in one.
Does the flat repair include an air compressor?
Yessir! -DS
Air compression or pig tank, couple cans of fix a flat, that jack will be money, unwrap and stag you tourniquet.... seconds matter if you're actually breaking that thing out and make sure everyone knows how to use them and where they're located
That was a great video , got me excited to pack after my shift lol

Maybe I missed it, but a battery powered impact saves a lot of time changing tires, and if a bolt that's giving you a problem getting lose
WE NEED SOME MORE ELK SHAPE HATS AND MERCH!!!!!
I second this statement!
Tire repair kit for the truck and a way to fill a truck tire.
My one recommendation is put your 1st aid in a orange bag. That way you or your buddy can find it a lot easier.
Do you ever have any issues using the marsupial bino harness with magnets and using your navigation
I actually have never lost a handheld - but generally speaking it does make me nervous, hence the back-up and the back-up-back-up... it's all about having a system in place and btw - I like index releases as well! -DS

A power puller
1st aid kit needs to be more streamlined and easier accessible. Good luck
A place to keep your tags!
It feels like too much stuff but hey, you're prepared and will haul 1/2 of it home unused I bet. Since you've got the kitchen sink, add a solar panel, laser pointers, night vision goggles, drone,
You forgot a Foam roller
How can you possibly fit all of that in your truck?
Definitely need 90Mph duck tape.
Awesome video. I’m a self taught hunter. I remember watching @camhanes show his backcountry set up on the tailgate of his truck just so thirsty for knowledge. This video is phenomenal for someone without a lot of mentorship.

My old lady is laughing her ass off listen to this, sounds like me with all my gear…however you have a lot of stuff! Badness!!!!
Good luck!
Jump starter battery pack, or jumper / charger cable for the 12v dc output on your generator. Also a portable air compressor.
Compressor and jumper box
I hope you're carrying a firearm not just that bear seasoning... Glock 20 is my choice for up here in the PNW and MT/WY
Your forgetting to post your TAC film whom kicked whom butt?!?!?!? LOL

I think you’re forgetting to title this video “Archery advertisement for various archery supplies that most of you can’t afford”.
Was waiting for a salty comment like this. Glad it was you. Must be nice. -Dan
A kitchen sink. I thought I packed a lot of gear. Lol
