What's in the Box - ATV Trail Gear

By request, I made a quick video showing what I have with me when I ride.

I hope this helps yinz.

If there's something I missed, please let me know!

I second the addition of a tarp and some good quality 550 cord. Had to do an expedient suspension repair in the middle of nowhere, chucking down rain. Was nice to string the tarp overhead just to get relief from the constant pouring rain, and made a nice spot to change out of soaking wet clothes, make a hot coffee and wipe off/repack the tools, baling wire etc. I also carry a small kit of stainless bolts, washers, nuts, hose clamps. Also replaced all 1/4" drive tools with Fix it Sticks.

Wow thats alot of stuff. I've been riding Hondas since 2000. A recon and a rancher stopped caring all that stuff and started packing for comfort. Chair, table speakers, heater, tarp hiking poles cooler, food, stove, water. Things i use everytime I go out not just once in blue moon.

Great set up, may I recommend replacing a few towels with a small tarp and maybe some 550 cord that can be used for shelter from rain or sun if you stop for a bit or and emergency.

Great video! What a beautiful yard with those fall colours! I have just bought an Overland 1000 so I have tons of storage space. This is new to me as I always rode dirt bikes. But now I am old and brittle so it's an ATV for me. As you know, you can't get much into a ruck sack. I like the idea of lining top and bottom of box with towels to eliminate rattle. Added bonus: a towel could be used as pressure bandage. I liked the tire repair stuff. A tire pump? Awesome since you have the room. I have a chainsaw, tree saver strap and am getting snatch block for changing winching angles. Oh, and a Coleman single burner stove... I know, crazy. Not sure about that one but it was gift from work. Maybe use with snow tracks on quad when it's minus 10 out. Hot soup or something.

Nice! Well thought out, i've been meaning put together my own little kit. Nice tip about the gloves, I hadn't considered that but in the winter months that will be nice.

Funny I carry like the same exact set-up. What made me laugh is the towels, I do the same thing for the same reasons. Only thing I can think I carry in addition is a set of rain gear. But yeah I have the hat for stopping so the sun is out of my eyes or to stay warm. Also the safety goggles, I will switch to those in warmer less dustier conditions. Also I do keep things in bags. So vinyl type camping bags for the bigger bulkier things and ziplock bags for smaller stuff. Oh one more thing I use a little Pelican dry box for my phone, wallet, and truck keys.

I carry just about everything you do highly recommended having a torque wrench or something to take your tire off and also a tarp in case you get stuck out in a rainstorm and possibly a hand saw

A small folding shovel for digging yourself or someone else out. I found an old German surplus that folds to tiny size, but is good at digging and the edge doubles as an axe.

I did a vide several years ago it did not go well so i pulled it. I hope yours goes well and your channel

I know I’m 5years to late but a role of tp is a must never know

[ElevationATV]

Yup, you look prepared! Much of that I always have in my quad at all times in my front storage. Maybe much less towels though? Lol.

That back storage is great for tow straps, ratchet straps or bungee cords. Always good to have, never know when you have an issue and need to strap your machine together. Been there!

No saws? Should look into bow saw, or find up saw like a pruning saw or Silky saw. Always good to have, never know!

Yup, also enjoy a good cigar on the trail too!

After watching your video, I went to my trunk box and all I had was empty beer cans... LOL I just realized how UNPREPARED I am when I go out riding! HAHAHA Awesome video, my friend! Cheers from the middle of nowhere Alaska!👍

What ATV storage box is that in your video?

[dannymacdonnell]

Not sure how old your cargo box is but was wandering if they updated to the metal hinges .. I was told they did .. if so that would be great as my lid falls off quite a bit

[dslpwr]

What size is that Pro Stormer tool kit? I went on Amazon and got the 210 piece but it’s too large to fit in the cargo box

[thomasdowen]

What make is the storage box that is that on the rear of your machine.

[jayone]

I’d start with a mid size axe. How a small fire start kit. Use birch bark. Burns like crazy to start the fire. A small 6x8 tarp to lay on. Lastly a small cook system.

[buildurtruckurway]

Some would say thats not enough others would say thats to much. Personally i like to have extra and be prepared then nothing and screwed.

[yamayahoo]
