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.

@@Molloy244 I’m an ACP (advanced care paramedic) who works in a trauma centre. I close wounds for a living. Wounds that are glued make it hard to assess for underlying damage, nerve/tendon injury. Harder to properly wash out so you avoid infection. Hard to do a proper closure once you take yourself to the hospital. Steri-strips are used on wounds of all sizes. It’s why they come in multiple widths and lengths. Wet gauze wrapped in cling over your wound is a much more hospital friend thing to do then gluing it.

I know this comment is late, but if by empty CO2 cartridge you meant empty from a manufacturing error, they can be weighed with a digital postage scale to ensure that they are filled. A full 16 gram weights 56.8 grams, and a full 20 gram weights 69.7 grams. I have never had one punctured by accident and to prevent that they can be taped around several times to help prevent accidental punture. Just thought I'd share just in case because in my own opinion carrying CO2 is so that you don't have to carry a pump at all. Great video thought and happy riding.

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 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.

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.

The zip ties have saved me on more than one occasion. One time my Buddy’s shifter cable broke… and we were on a long climb. Was able to use the zip tie to keep the derailleur in a pedalable gear. Phone is a must - there was a hiker last year who unfortunately died from heat exhaustion. He wandered off into some trees for shade, he left his phone in the car, and no one could find him for days, and when he was eventually found it was sadly too late. And this was at a very popular hiking/biking area that he knew well. But it doesn’t take much for things to go south. I overheated on that same trail as well when biking once - the California mid day heat can really catch you off guard. So I would also add run something like Life360 so that friends/family can find you if you lose consciousness.

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 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.

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.

I need to add wet wipes, I keep a few bandaids and alcohol whipes in the plastic case my patch kit came in, with a $20 in it also

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?
@Bike1983 жыл бұрын
That is actually my Wahoo computer. If I was using a phone mount, I would probably look at Quad Lock.

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.

I use a Dakine 5L Hip Pack and always carry… Pocket First Aid Kit, Mylar Blanket, along with the items mentioned in this video. Not an awful idea to have a Mylar Blanket on you for warmth and (God forbid) shelter.

In addition to your great list, I recommend paper map for your area and first aid kit. Nice vid :)

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.

As a Trauma paramedic and ER nurse, don't use super glue! We don't use super glue! We use derma bond (not toxic) Completely different.
