13 Essential Snowboard Items You Need to Carry

Essential Items

My Gear List

In this video I share thirteen small essential snowboard items I care in my backpack. These snowboard items help you to have a better day of snowboarding. Thanks for watching!

High up on my essentials list are a flask of liquor and weed.

I keep the tuning gear in my car but in my bag I keep hand warmers, a light neck gaiter, a smith no-fog cloth and snow eraser, some packets of sunscreen, electrolyte packets, and a small first aid kit with different sized bandages, emergency thermal blanket, an Israeli bandage, and a few other items for severe injury/trauma response.

This dude is ready for the apocalypse lol. I usually just have beer in my bag.

For new people, i always recommend sun screen as well. People tend to forget that you can get sun burned during the winter. For the external battery I would suggest to make sure to read the manual to see if its safe to charge in extremely low temperatures. You don't want to damage the battery and the device you are charging as well.

Also, dont forget to leave some spare space in your backpack. If its too hot, you might want to take off your hoodie/sweater and just ride with a tshirt and jacket. Cover yourself in multiple layers to allow this, dont just wear a single thick sweater, the whole ride will be miserable.

Snacks are essential for sure. Especially if you're riding with your kid.

can't find the video you did on turning but OMG, ever since I watched your vid my turns have improved so much. I am so much more confident and can really attack a hill. Finally did my first diamond and was in full control the whole way down. thanks!

I might need to invest in one of those jones backpacks.

For me, a spare balaclava is crucial on colder/pow days. Mine always gets wet and it’s nice to have a fresh one cause I start to drool in mine a bit as the stoke levels rise 😂😂😂

[mkvalentine]

Very helpful video (I would have never thought to bring spare laces). I would add throwing a few snowboard binding screws in your bag.

[NisSubieTechA]

I stuff everything in my pockets, so I try to be lightweight with everything. I use a collapsible water bottle from Vapur (best one) or Platypus. Another way is to use a partially filled 16 oz water bottle, but twisted/crushed to save room to fit in your pocket.
I like the tape idea! My chest pocket developed a hole, so I couldn't use it that day for my phone or chapstick..

[GarrettDevitt]

Bivy bag for shtf and spare hat and thermal, always nice to be able to add a layer.

[fudhater]

I put a 2nd set of liner gloves for my mittens in my knee pockets. After lunch I swap them for the damp ones I used in the morning.

Going to Tahoe for the first time ever snowboarding and found your channel appreciate the advice your beginner videos are sick👍🏻

[chuck__van]

Personally try to avoid taking a backpack on the mountain but I do like to get Snow pants with Cargo pockets... and its not unheard of to see a pb or Vegemite sandbow get whipped out on the chair mid arvo

[Bad_Riders]

I usually carry parachord on me for such issues. But a multi tool is a must or even just a phillips head screw driver for binding adjustments.

[jasisplayinu]

Good list. I keep a few various binding hardware screws on hand as well.

[powslayer]

I'm going to get a little trailer on a sled so I can load it up with all the s*** you're talking about and drag it around the mountain just in case I need it. Don't forget the base grinder.

[Marionetax]

A bunch of zip ties and a multi-tool. Can’t believe how many times this stuff save your day....

[jopro]

Would you ever do a video on go pro settings? Would be interested to know if there’s any tweaking available to benefit different weather etc

[ProgramKiraTV]

My essential list is much smaller to where if it weren’t for water I’d never have a bag even. Phone, wallet, water, weed, lighter and snowboard tool. Sometimes a pack of gummy bears too - chewy so my ears pop and sugar for energy.

[TyTimp]

Hot pockets for both hands and feet, and Kleenex because my nose runs when it's cold.
