Just launched a new shirt with Kristina from Sketchy Trails. JUST GO RIDE! Get it before it's gone forever: teespring.com/just-go-ride
That shirt is SO SICK!!! Really love the message
BKXC I love your content I am inspired by you to ride my mountain bike and have fun, thank you.
I went and looked at Kristina's work after looking at the shirt. She is amazingly talented. I love her comic book work for cycling, too. I might have to commission her for a logo design or something.
Nice design. Do you select the t-shirt colors? IMHO the colors are too loud; I like earth-tones.
one for me!
BKXC add a $1 emergency blanket to the 1st aid kit - the silver thermal insulation type, keeps you warm if you're off the bike [post-crash/shock for example], it's likely waterproof and you could even use it to get someone's attention, say a passing car or plane. all my tools are in a drink bottle!
Very cool, thanks man!
BKXC I was going to suggest it as well. Tested it after flipping a little sailing boat during Easter a few years ago. Stayed nice and toasty warm after the medics insisted I wear it. Highly recommended. I never go out without at least one anymore.
A lightweight rain and windproof jacket is a must here in New Zealand (I use the Fox Attack Water) where the weather is extremely changeable.
A mountainbike allows you to punch deep into a national park by lunchtime; a crash or mechanical, and suddenly you're an injured hiker unprepared for a night in the bush with the weather turning cold and wet.
For the same reason, I keep a head-torch in my pack, regardless of what time of day I plan on returning.
I also keep one of those reflective silver emergency blankets in my first aid kit..
They're light as a feather, and fold down to nothing.
If a member of your party is injured, as soon as they stop moving and start lying there with the sweat cooling on them, hypothermia can get real serious real quick.
I quit smoking and Altoids have been a lifesaver (literally, and no pun intended). All the little tins that their mints come in are handy. I lable them with packing tape and paper to keep all my little parts together
That's perfect!!
I have an emergency blanket as well. Also in my med kit I added an ace bandage in case you need to wrap a large wound. Zip ties, a hat, warmer gloves, chap stick, 50 spf sunscreen stick, rain jacket (even to block wind that suddenly comes up on my trails), snacks, a neck gaiter, multi tool, chain breaker, quick link, small flashlight, spare tube, sunglasses case, spare reading glasses, valve core remover, tubeless plug kit, tire pump, CO2 with tool, phone charging pack with cord (you can be stuck waiting for help and wouldn’t want to run out of battery!), an emergency letter that describes any allergies or medical conditions in addition to emergency contacts. I ride in very rural areas and have to be self sufficient. I also wear an Apple Watch for fall detection. If you’re unconscious and alone, you’re screwed.
Hippy Dippy for the win! ✌️☮
Yaaaa maaaaan
Used to ride with my iPhone and Quadlock but now ride with a Wahoo Elemnt. More than worth the money. More accurate, much longer battery life and the battery doesn’t fail when it freezes during winter like iPhone batteries do.
yes great bike computer. this and the Elemnt Bolt version too. same thing but smaller.
My brother has one and really enjoys it !
I ride in Perth, Western Australia and I have had a few close encounters with snakes. So, I always carry a bandage to wrap a wound, it slows the venom moving around. Love your work mate.
Solid choice!!
He had gorilla take around the pump, that will work with most wounds in an emergency
You lost me at valve stem cap...... no way I'm lugging that thing around on the climbs.
lmfao
Hahaha, gravity is a bitch!
weakling lol
I carry a lot of the same stuff, after I saw your video where the guy stuck his handlebars into his leg I added a tourniquet to my bag. They're pretty cheap and very easy to learn to use, one of those things where you can't go wrong having it.
Good call!
The Raptor 14 is the Magician's magic hat of bags. Doves and Rabbits can fit in there.
Haha yes!
Since I have experience and needs for field operations including rescue, I use a padded waist belt that accepts molle gear. The weight of the my pack is lower and more comfortable. I can attach pouches in different configurations but I carry water in bottles, multi tool, tire repair, rain gear, wilderness first aid, true GPS, spare parts. Safety whistle and compass. If I come off the bike backwards it will protect kidneys, sacrum, hip and one squeeze of the buckle in front and it comes completely off without wriggling out of straps. Think about trying to apply first aid to yourself with only one usable arm. But that Osprey pack is very popular in SAR for the same reason.
That's a really good tip!
Mountain Bikers have managed to have enough riders get lost that they earned their own category in the Missing and Lost Persons Behavior Database. Tend to travel longer and farther/further (and get loster), about 1/3 just keep going the wrong direction, rest of the count are found everywhere; no real similar find location, over 50% just flat get lost; fewer than 20% have medical or trauma issues as their initial problem; and the mortality rate drops to 33% after 48 hours lost. No MTB has survived greater than 72 hours lost no matter what their condition was. Everyone get a real-life GPS and mark the parking lot and carry a 2nd battery. Turn it off and if you need it just ask where the parking lot is and start heading back. Get back on a damn trail, seek shelter and water and preserve your energy.
The Garmin watches are really good and great for activity tracking. I’m a runner and a cyclist and have the forerunner 230 and it does everything I could want. Tracks cycling and running and if you get the 235 you can have wrist based heart rate. It also acts as a semi smart watch, it displays your notifications and the weather and tracks your steps. Its fully water proof also. It’s nice having all of that in watch form because it doesn’t limit you to just your bike and it looks nice! I would recommend highly!
Also compared to a Apple Watch they are pretty affordable
Very good recommendation!
Osprey Viper pack -
Topeak alien II multi-tool.
A set of Allen keys (which I think Americans call Hex wrenches or something similar).
Tubes, hand pump and tyre levers.
Chain and chain breaker tool.
Brake pads.
Gear cable.
Folding pocket knife.
Water and protein bars.
Phone and keys.
Good suggestion of zip-ties. I will add those to my pack.
We call them Allen Wrenches, or at least I aslways have!
Nice!!
Two thumbs for packing a first aid kit! Great example, I'm always handing out a bandaid on the trail.
Haha nice
Spare gloves come in handy because cold wet hands suck. I also carry some muc off workshop gloves for trailside repairs. With the first aid kit I carry a spray on plaster "band aid" it's a super effective sound barrier that disinfects & seals against infection on contact
Good call on that!
After I watched the whole video, I realized I need few more things in my backpack and remove some of them (like the shock pump)! Really helpful stuff brother :)
Hahaha nice
Hey Brian....one thing I didn't see, or maybe I missed, is a spare shift cable. I don't carry a whole cable, but I have a short section with the stop attached that I can thread through the derailleur and tighten the nut down to at least have one gear so I can ride the bike out. Some people carry the whole cable, but threading it through the lever housing and cable housings on the trail can be a hassle, so I've found just having a short section is lighter and more reliable in a trail situation. It's DEFINITELY worth having in your pack. I shove a pencil eraser on the sharp end and put it in a sandwich bag.
Good call on the shock pump!! It's a roll of the dice when you use a shock pump on the trail. Shock pumps fail frequently, and once that air is out of your fork or shock, you're hosed without a way to get air back in. That's why unless I'm "tinkering" with my settings on a spot not far from my vehicle, I'm not willing to risk it. On even a modest length ride, unless I have a few buddies with one too, I would never risk it. A less than optimal ride is better than having to walk the bike out!
Yep, someone on Patreon mentioned that too and I threw one in immediately!!
Can do the same thing with a cable tie too.
Space Blanket. Never used it in 5 years then used it 3 times in one year in emergencies. Spare cable inner. Takes up bugger all room. Been on a couple of group rides with a snapped cable. Doesn't take long to fix and it's better then being stuck in the hardest gear.
Good calls!
Thanks for showing the close up on how you rock your gimbal. Good stuff!
Haha I knew a few people would like that!
I'd like to add that every MTBr should take a first aid class and carry a first aid kit that includes a triangle bandage. Lots of bike injuries include shoulder injury and having that triangle bandage to take the weight off the shoulder really helps.
Good call!
One thing that I found to be super light and an amazing item to keep in my Camelbak riding pack is a Mission Endura Cool towel, on very hot rides just dip in a stream or other water source, wring it out wrap it around your neck. It will bring down your core temp if you were in that possible heat stroke range. My rides tend to not be epic so my pack has minimal items in it. Maybe a small pump, hydration, multi-tool, snacks, a small first-aid kit.
That's an awesome call out!
There are many brands that make similar towels and they all do the same thing. Having lived in Florida and Nevada during my riding times, I know how dangerous heat can be and at times that can be a lifesaver. Just thought it might be something others could use but have not thought of yet.
Carry a 27.5" tube with a presta valve. Fits on 26" 27.5" and 29" and the valve will fit in any rim drilling so you can help out a buddy on the trail regardless of wheel size differences.
Oh wow, I like that!!
Brian! The Garmin Edge 130 just came out, it hasn't been released yet, but it is open for preorder, it's perfect for you. It is the size of a cheap cateye computer, but can handle everything you may so please, cadence, speed, GPS, heart rate, all of it. I highly recommend it.
And, not to mention, you can buy it as computer and mount only, or as the "MTB Bundle," which is $80 more (Bringing the price to $280) but it comes with about $130 worth of kit, so you save $50.
Hell yes!!
Brian the Garmin Fenix watches work great for recording rides, runs, swims. What ever your action adventure is. It does not need to be hooked up to anything and it is always ready to go.
Man, so many people are recommending it!
I carry a patch kit, spare tube, tire levers, air pump, a multi tool, and a Sawyer mini squeeze water filter
For a great cutting edge bike computer: Wahoo Bolt. Just more reliable, more readable and much longer battery run time than Garmin. love it. BTW I love these videos of what you take on the trail - can tell you are a professional in this biz now, you know what tools to have on site, and reminds me I gotta add a few items to my backpack - thanks for the tips!
Nice!!
1. A roll of electrician tape. Can hotfix anything anything just to get you back to the base: from bike parts or your backpack to broken limbs, or to help stop bleeding. Or to attach some unexpected load to your bike. A thin roll of scotch or duct tape can also be useful.
2. A knife, a small EDC folder or a neck knife or Victorinox is enough.
3. Something to make fire (waterproof matches, gas lighter).
I also always carry rubber luggage bands, few plastic bags and spare headlight but I'm not sure it will be very helpful in MTB.
Good call with all of those!
The shop is coming along. Well done!!
Thanks so much!
What do I not carry? That is the essential question. In my Stump Jumper's SWAT box i carry a tube, some stickers that can double as tire boots, a spare mech hanger, spare derailleur cable, a small multi tool with pliers, 2 CO2 canisters and respective head, as well as a small first aid kit. And in the top cap, I have a chain tool and quick links.
Hahaha got it all!
Great content! It's comical how noticeable a review from a true rider looks compared to an armchair product reviewer. Love it!!!
Nice, light and compact with a great assortment of stuff you will need. I would add a thermal blanket has many a great servival uses on solo rides
That's a good call!
Thanks for the peak into your ‘bag of tricks’!
A couple of questions:
1. Do you find the zip ties to be more useful that traditional craft store yarn?
2. Have you considered a scenario where you’re stranded overnight and have to make an emergency dream catcher to ward off evil desert spirits?
Another great video!
I've never tried craft store yarn! Haha, I should bring some kind of voodoo doll for the spirits.
I know it’s bad but I often go on rides with a tiny 6 tool multi tool, pump and tube. And that’s it. And they are all stored on my bike. Riding pack less is the greatest thing ever and once you’ve done it you can never go back
If it works, then go for it!
Always carry a patch-kit for inner tubes, since they're only like 2 bucks and a few grams, but they can save you from pushing your bike home.
Have at look at the Crankbro's multitool's, they have the chain breakers on them and spoke spanners too, well built, strong enough to put some proper effort into them for the likes of pedals.
Nice!!
I can't believe you were in Calistoga! I live in Saint Helena and wish I could of met you and got a sticker for my new bike!
Always sneaking around!!
For my quick link I found a tiny "channel lock" type plier, that opens (just barely) enough to get it. Good for other uses too
Usually ends up just being a tube on the post, multi in the pocket, and forgetting the pump or co2 in the garage. XC FOR LIFE!!
Haha nice
I just got myself a OneUP EDC. I highly suggest picking one up to lessen a few things in your pack and it also comes with master link tool built in 👍
Very cool!
I have a mini quick link tool arriving tomorrow. More importantly, it has the notches on the outside so you can close the quick link. Last time I took my chain off I could not get the quick link closed, even when jumping on the pedals! It only closed with the proper tool!
Oh man, always a problem on the side of the trail!
Shoot maybe I am not as prepared on rides as I thought. The first aid, extra derailleur hanger and brake pads seem like a good idea. Also that plug kit seems good too.Definitely have tube, tire levers, multi tool (think it's a crank Bros), pump, patch kit, food, water, phone wallet and keys.
Plug kit is really solid!!
Watched this video like 5 times.....simple video but very helpful.
Glad to hear that!
Thank you! Really helped me gain the right equipment 👍🏻😊👍🏻
Good vid. It's always fun to dig thru another mtbers bag and see what they carry with em....
Haha yep!
Here's what I carry when I'm on my Intense Spider 275C. Slightly different for my Specialized Hardtail, obviously.
-----
I use a Sandpiper of California hydration pack with 1-2L of H2O
- Chapstick
- Sunblock
- Whatever food items I need
- Spare action cam battery
- 650B innertube
- Right Response Sport 1st Aid Kit
- My Parkinson's drugs
- Prescription glasses
- Spare or other-colored lenses
- Microfiber bag
- Crank Brothers multi tool
- Specialized Air Tool with CO2
- SRAM Power Lock Silver
- Ozark Trail 300 lumen flashlight
- Phone (in pocket, not pack)
- Wallet, Keys, etc
- And I pin a button compass to my shoulder strap
Sometimes I'll have other things, like a book for reading on breaks, spare socks if I think I'll get wet, a skull cap, etc. Situational. :)
SOLID!
It wouldn’t hurt to carry an extra spd cleat and bolts for your shoes. It will ruin your ride if the bolts come loose and it falls off. Also some type of small knife can come in handy.
That's a damn good call, dude! I'm gonna go find a bolt now.
I suggest using white Locktite on your SPD cleats. For all of this century (AKA 17+ years) I have never had a loose cleat. Also works well for chain ring bolts, headset bolts, and the little derailleur adjustment screws. Yes... to the suggestion of a small Swiss Army knife and Yes... to the thermal blanket. If someone has a bad crash and goes into shock, you'll want to keep them warm until EMS arrives. My 3c worth... Thanks for the video.
I also use a fanny pack for short rides and never noticed any movement. Maybe I'm just too smooth on the trail... :))
That's a good idea. I almost crashed yesterday bc I couldn't unclip due to one of my cleat bolts coming loose.
agree, just happened to me on Monday, it ruined my ride.
You can also swap a brake rotor bolt for the cleats in an emergency
Recently I bought an Osprey Talon 6 hip pack for my short rides. Here in summer, it gets quite hot, so not having a full pack helps. I am looking at a full pack to replace my Black wolf pack, which isn't that bike friendly, due to it does move around a bit. The Raptor 14 seems like a good replacement. Or the 10 which I saw a review on. Your first review in 2016, had you unsure if it was going to be right for you. This video, shows it was.
I've been using a garmin vivoactive 3 and it's a great all around smartwatch. battery lasts for about 5-6 days without GPS. I could get about 10-12 hours of riding with an HRM strap and GPS on. before that I was using a garmin edge 25 and also liked it. it's small, simple and lightweight.
That's pretty damn good!
along with a lot of the stuff you carry I also have a swiss tech mini tool for the sole purpose of the little pliers for tubeless valve nut removal.
Good stuff!
i carry the wolf tooth master link multi tool on top of a crack bros mt, it holds a few quick links and works as a tire lever, has come in handy for on the trail chain work!
Very cool!
Cool,cool all the basics covered! It looks like I need a first aid kit thanks👍
Most def!
Thanks again for the video! I was surprised to see only one spare tube. I usually have two. One me and a buddy. Nuggatorium looking good. Hope I spelled that right.
Yeah, one tube is good, but not great! Thanks Jonathan!
I have the Garmin vivo active 3 HR watch that I wear but on rides i have an adapter for my bars to keep my hand from falling asleep.
It was 250.00 and it works awesome. Can be hooked to heart rate strap ( has built in wrist hr) receives texts and notifications. You can reply simple messages back on texts . I love it.
Very nice!!
I don't know if you've ridden up here, but Eastern Maryland, closer to the top of the Chesapeake Bay has some really nice trails. They can sometimes be a little more wonky than the desert and mountain trails. If you come out, I'd be more than happy to join the rides and learn a few things; but mostly build up my confidence. =D
Nice!
Never needed them yet, but a whistle and a compass. Also c02 pump and cartridges although they are a bit heavy.
Definitely a good call!
Yesss so happy you made this clip
Glad you liked it!
Hey Brian! My last video before I head out on my road trip to Orlando. Let's see what you have for us, today.
0:52 - I absolutely need one of those tubeless tackle kits. I actually had to use a bacon strip for the very first time on my last ride. I felt like I had gone through a rite of passage. My first bonafide on-trail flat! Glad I had those plugs with me. They worked perfectly.
2:40 - I'm curious how many batteries you go through on any given ride? When I record my ride through my local trail - about two hours of actual riding time, I can easily bust through three batteries. I've never had to worry about a longer ride than that (yet). I will generally fill up a single 64 GB SD card. By the time it's full, there's nothing else worth recording of the ride itself, so I haven't worried about carrying an extra one.
2:52 - I'm guessing you really like the Stuntman? I love mine. It's very comfortable and stable for me. I don't have a gimbal, yet. I plan to get one after I'm settled in Florida.
3:33 - I have a Specialized mutli-tool, but I have noticed it easily comes apart. Do you have this problem with yours?
5:19 - A medical kit! Why did I not ever think of this? I have got to add that to my bag immediately.
some other things I have in my "Oh Crap" kit are two spare tubes. In the event I get a hole in one of my tires that can't be plugged by sealant or the bacon strips, it's nice to have the tubes as an emergency backup to the emergency backup. I carry them ALL the time. They take up space since I ride plus-size tires, but I honestly don't feel comfortable not having them. In theory, I'll never need to use them. But it's nice to have them.
I love these pack check videos. I love seeing how others pack for their rides. I've got that Crank Brothers bike pump added to my wish list on Amazon, and the Evo gimbal is in there as well. Gonna go add that medical kit, too.
Thanks for sharing this, Brian. It's very helpful. I love watching your stuff. And I just recently became a patron, too. Can't wait to lock in the benefits of doing that. Keep up the good work. Stay upright and keep the rubber side down.
#bkxc #seeyouonthetrail
-Brian
Batteries are about one per 45 minutes!
Sam splints!! they are amazing if you have an injury that needs a splint theyre light weight and fold away super easy :)
Nice!
i always carry a d loop belt in my bag. Its really useful if you need to hook something to your bag or bike or you want to gerry rig your phone to a tree to record a video.
That's a good call
Lezyne Super GPS, fairly inexpensive on board computer connects to your phone via bluetooth. The data can be loaded to strava as well. There are addon to connect to the device such as a kit with extra pieces to track heart rate as well as watts and so on.
Nice!!
Brian have a look at Suunto watches, I have the ambit 3 sport which is now my primary trip computer for everything. You can set it to auto load up to Strava, great video as usual 👍
Yes, definitely seen those!
osprey is AWESOME. ive crashed and torn my 3 or 4 times and they always repair for free!! great bag even better company. Osprey for me!
Oh wow, that is fantastic!
Hey Bryan. I'm little surprised you do not carry spare derailleur cable? Yet you do have brake pads. Nothing wrong with that. But cable gets beat up on every bump at the pinch point by the derailleur bolt. I had to complete the ride stuck in one of Middle gears before. So here. I'd put one in your bag.
I like that medical kit. Time to get one.
Also. I keep my multitool in plastic zip lock with silica gel moisture drying thingy. Keeps it from rusting.
Someone mentioned that on Patreon and I immediately packed it in! Good call
Osprey packs is where it's at!
It's been really solid!
Great vid as usual, always motivating me to ride👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Ozzie!
Thanks for sharing. Now I can add more to my bag that I didn't have.
Nice!
Garmin Felix 5 Plus. It logs rides and so much more. I actually have the Garmin Descent Mk1. Point is can’t go wrong with the Garmin
Hey Brian I have a suggestion for your pack. have a look at Tubolito Turbo MTB Bicycle Inner Tube. It is a durable replacement for innertube that saves half the space a regular tube does.
Oh wow, very cool
I have found that the Garmin devices to be the best GPS/ tracking devices on the market. you can also get attachments so the watches it on the bars if you dont want them on your wrist while riding. I however love the watch and at the moment you cannot beat the Fenix
Yeah, I really want the heart rate in the wrist!
@@bkxc IMOH then go for a Garmin fenix.
A foil survival blanket and a tiny waterproof jacket, just in case, but I live in Northern England where we have permanent wind and rain
Hehe, pulling out some mint BKXC stickers first! Whenever there is damage or a broken frame you can put a BKXC sticker on it immediately :D Good stuff Brian!
Haha yes, adds 20 watts of power too!
Pretty much what I carry but I have snacks, and an extra layer stuffed in my bag.
Re: strava, I know you mentioned the apple watch, but garmin also makes a watch with GPS that has worked great for me. Its the fenix 3. They may have a new version now, but this watch is bombproof and the GPS works great.
Nice! Yeah, the Fenix looks great but really pricey
Think I’m going to try this Osprey pack. Appreciate the details on what it can hold.
It's a solid pack!
I used an apple watch for rides, and found that to get a good HR read you had to really crank it down so it was tight on your wrist. It ended up being pretty uncomfortable from a mobility perspective, and on hot days it would get really sweaty.
Ahhh, thanks for that info!
Try the Garmin fenix. It's a bit pricey but man is it worth it.
I also have the garmin fenix and agree with you, it's great
Apple watch= running out of battery life every ride
. Fenix= shit I forgot to charge it two weeks ago. We're good
I have TomTom watch and like that one. But everyone always recomend Garmin products. Are they so much better? Any one have had experiences of both brands?
Man, I just can't handle the price!
BKXC I know right. I don't wanna push you for it but trust me man, those things are rock solid. And are stylish
I have the Garmin 735XT that came with a heart strap. It works really well and links to Strava.
Nice!
Small altoid tins work great for small stuff. I use them for everything from aspirin to spare links. Bonus: they come with mints.
Haha yes, really good call!
Oat Hill MIne! That's my fav trail! Still a beginner and learning to suck a bit less every ride there.
Haha that's one of the places I did the same!
I'm always learning something from your videos. Thanks for keeping us informed. I might suggest that when you're showing things close up that you try to refrain from constantly moving the item... you use a stand or gimble to keep the camera steady but then wiggle around what you're showing, ha ha. Just a suggestion, thanks again!
Haha yeah, you're right about that!
Polar M400 is a cycling gos watch with a heart rate monitor and a holder that goes on your bars where you can strap the watch onti
Nice!
I carry the same first aid kit. It packs a punch for it's size.
I carry a sam slint as part of my med kit folded into three just in case some body out on the trail has a real bad day and breaks an arm or wrist also act as a back protection in my bag
Good call
Check out the bryton Ryder 310e cycling computer. That’s what I use and it’s only like $60-70! Uploads to your phone and strava via Bluetooth.
Sweet, thanks for the recommendation!
Great video. For recording rides I have Garmin fenix 3 and i think it's great watch to record rides and it's super accurate and durable :)
Nice!!
Awesome Vid..........Bear Spray! A little heavy - but very nice to have on board.
You got a new sub. Found you a few days ago and have been watching all your videos
Welcome aboard dude!
Isn't a quick link supposed to be done by hand? I thought that was the point, and is certainly what I do. If you need a tool, you might as well use your regular chain tool!
I carry a heavy ass 10 lb drone lol. Sucks on the climbs but pays off when I get sweet drone footage of myself descending.
Hahaha nice
Sick video, Love when you make these , I would carry a nice night riding light that will make it possible to ride back to the trailhead if you get lost and it is dark
A light is definitely a good thing!
Altoid mint tins work very well for small part doodads as well. Them things is a tiny trunk.
Definitely!!
I use Apple watch. If you use an iPhone it makes a lot of sense. It does all your Strava and heart rate monitor stuff, plus tons of apps from your phone. Controls your phones camera, email, and my favorite: voice to text. It does a bazillion other things too of course.
Yeah man, I don't know why I've fought it forever.
If you’ve listened to episodes 47 of the mtb podcast (about 25 min in) you’ve heard them trashing the Apple Watch. (in respect to it replacing an on board computer/GPS) Against their expert advice, I’ve went ahead with the purchase. And......It’s been great for tracking rides and monitoring heart rate. Simple as that. And as an added bonus for us regular folk, helps to conserve phone battery. Not that you need to worry about that with that car battery you lug around. Hahahahaha.
Lug pun not intended.
Haha, that's great that it actually worked out for you just fine! Now I'm more conflicted
leatherman type multi tool must have. I never ride without one. my favorite brand is SOG their military grade
Cool video. Gave me some ideas of items to add to my own pack.
Good to hear!
Kinda off topic, but as far as watches are concerned, I've been looking at the Garmin Tactix Charlie for the topo maps. Eliminates the need for a cockpit mounted computer (or at least I would hope). Price is a bit steep though. Cool vid Brian!
Man, all the watches are EXPENSIVE!
@@bkxc Expensive watches that'll all be obsolete in about two seasons. Nature of the beast with all tech though.
Better be heavy but ready than mess up the trail ride and go home sobbin! Nice pack you got there Bri!
Indeed, thanks Daniel!
