Essential Kit for your ATV Adventure | Loadout | Gear List | Emergency Kit

In this video I want to talk about the essential gear I take on my ATV all the time. You never know when you might break down or find yourself lost in the woods. With these items hopefully you'll have a better stay in the forest. If there's anything you take that I didn't mention please leave it in the comments below so we can all learn. Cheers,

The black device you did not know the name of is called a “snatch Block” 👍🏼

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Stephen

[@kakabekadigger2851]

Good video. For me the number one is tire plugs. I helped a friend fix a big gash in his tire with plugs and a compressor. We were 100 km from home. He rode on it for months 👍

[@JoshuaGammon]

I agree. That's always on my ATV. Used a few times on old railbeds.

[@simonmartin9067]

We are new to ATV’s having just ordered a Polaris 570 Touring and we’re looking for information on what to carry. Really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Very thorough and very helpful to somebody like us. Thank you! Cheers from Ontario

[@JoshuaGammon]

Your going to have a blast Simon. Hope you enjoy the Sportsman. Mines a 2015 and still going strong.

[@carverolson8782]

I carry a quart of oil incase of a roll over. If the bike sits upside down for a period of time the oil will slowly drain out. Also, if you have a diff seal go out, you have a little oil to put in to get you home.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Good call on the oil. I used to do that on my older bikes but the so far the new ones are great, but still should carry it.

[@Samlittlesr57]

Great video, but there is one thing I never leave home without. I have a pair of Garmin Rino 750 GPS's .I know they are expensive but with the two way radio and the ability to pinpoint your partners location. imo they are well worth the money. I always take one and leave one with my wife at home just incase I don't make it home and I always let her know what area I'm exploring. Happy trails everyone.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Great tip Sam. thanks so much.

[@mikefitzpatrick9989]

The pulley system device is called a “snatch block”. I did not read the comments, just jotted this down. Nice video, great gear.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks for the info!

[@123nicktheman123]

Hey, very helpful video. Thanks so much for posting. I'm new to ATVing so a list like this is much appreciated. Happy trails!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mariomota9075]

Adventure, bushcraft and ATV. The perfect chanel. Congratulations from Faial island, Azores, Portugal

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Mario! It's I guess basically anything outdoors. Love it all. 😁

[@arizonarangerwithabigirono1959]

He’s got “bits and zap straps livin in his trunk” I love Canadians😂

[@riverwilliams8857]

Can you explain to me how this is funny?

[@JoshuaGammon]

Not sure I understand?

[@Ducknell]

@@JoshuaGammon In the US the Zap Straps as you called them are called Zip Ties. I also never heard of a Zap Strap. I guess he was just teasing because of the different term. Thanks for the video.

[@JoshuaGammon]

[@robertbruce6449]

Good video bud. Good info in a short straight to the point format. Cheers

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks Robert

[@kevinivaska4827]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Your welcome. 👍

[@bryanbrowning5746]

I’d suggest two things to add:1. A short handled garden spade with a solid handle, because even with a winch, sometimes digging around the tires is needed. Mine is a Cold Steel brand Spetsnaz shovel that also has a sharpened edge for chopping. 2. A water resistant spark plug protector for the spare plug, especially if you carry in that rear compartment. A rusty spark plug will do you no good! Otherwise, very well thought out presentation!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks for the tips Bryan!! Always like to hear whatever one else is doing.

[@gopats1970]

Great stuff thank you. Hand warmers may be a good add.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Good idea

[@sergiodominguez6105]

Just getting into ATVs. Very good info. Thanks

[@JoshuaGammon]

You'll love atv camping. It's a different experience. Have a good one out there Sergio.👍

[@northernsurvivalbackcountr4986]

Just ordered my first atv 520 honda rubbicon this is great video thx bro

[@JoshuaGammon]

you're going to have a blast

[@jovengapostol9998]

Wow in complete things,good job okay peace.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Cheers!

[@johnk7093]

Shovel, tow strap... great list

[@JoshuaGammon]

Yes. I shovel would have helped me once before. Thanks for sharing John.

[@Ratfunk02]

Well sir the "pulley thingy" is called a snatch block.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Cheers. Brain fart at the time. Lol

[@davidbishop365]

Spare gas, fuses, tow strap, collapsing shovel, life boat rations, and a life straw would be my suggestions.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks David. I did get a shovel now. Cheers.

[@michaelhale4041]

In case someone hasn't said the black cable block is called a Snatch block thank you for the video

[@Maurice419]

Looks like you have it covered!

[@TheBucklessYooper]

I would also suggest a collapsable shovel of some sort, comes in handy more than you'd think. Maybe some sort of water purification, in case fire isn't an option, Lifestraw's are cheap and work well, as do the little tablets. A small tow strap is a good thing to have as well, in case of a breakdown by you or someone else you may be riding with/encounter.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey thanks for the tips. I did get a small shovel and carry a sawyer now. Cheers.

[@zrbsrbija]

Good stuff .. i have been riding atv sxs since the 3 wheeler days of 1980s. Just some suggestions a multi tool a map and compass .prefer 1:24k maps can of soup can of fruit and can of spam and 2 hd 50 gal trash bags .and a Water filter (life straw).... Its called a shackle and get another 50 foot min 100 better of atv 1/4 in winch rope rated at 5k lbs. In my sxs i have tons more room and more pockets so i can carry more like 2 wool blankets 2 tarps and a hammock

[@JoshuaGammon]

Hey Zika. Thanks for the info. I always have a multi tool on me. I guess I didn't show it in the video. Have a good one.

[@Michael-Benjamin1224]

Josh, your ready for Armageddon🫵🏽😳😂🤘🏾 Wow

[@revsstuff1320]

It's a "snatch" block...giggity!

[@JoshuaGammon]

thanks.

[@normsatv]

Nice good amount stuff a powersaw & spare oil gas for it or a handsaw and axe min i carry all lol cheers .

[@JoshuaGammon]

Cheers Norms Atv!! So many different things to take out with ya.

[@dannymacdonnell251]

Great list but I would add a booster pack jump starter especially when out alone .. crappy tire has them on sale a lot .. great video

[@JoshuaGammon]

Great point! Thanks

[@VIheavyequipment]

I'm writtin the list down haha so I'll have it full time all the time ;P

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. 🤪

[@thatsfarmlife]

Thanks for this. Add a couple of life straws or water filter systems.

[@JoshuaGammon]

I sense got a sawyer mini. Thanks Michael.

[@timberray9572]

I just bought my first ATV a few days ago, first thing I added was a role of shit tickets, now I am here to see what else I might need.

[@JoshuaGammon]

If you go solo like I do a lot. Make sure you have the gear for a night. Machines can break down and you can be a lot further in the woods than if you had walked in. Never happened to me yet, but lots go out thinking I'm just going for a rip and don't take anything.

[@mrlariata9290]

Nice video. This reminds me of some of the things I would keep in my jeep when I go out of town to the city. When I was single one thing I would keep on hand was ear plugs and nose plugs. Oh you ask why???? SCREAMING women and burning rubber yeeee haaawww!!! 🤣 😂

[@JoshuaGammon]

LMFAO!! Nice one!! Love the comment!! Cheers and have a great day!!

[@denniskuenze659]

I felt like you were showing what I carry...lol I have a very similar set up.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Oh nice. Most of things is the baseline for ATV i'm sure. Just thought I'd show it and get some feed back from folks.

[@TheNathan0311]

Bike. Canadian. Also, Amazon basics batteries absolutely suck. I would highly recommend dumping those immediately and get something worthwhile. Overall though, good stash of gear on your quad/ATV/4-wheeler/bike.

[@bryan_9288]

i keep a come-a-long, some chains and a tow strap just incase i ever need to recover my ATV and my winch fails or i need to move/lift something that i can't get my Winch to.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Good idea for the tow strap. Thanks Bryan.

[@BROTHERGRAVY]

SNATCH BLOCK

[@JoshuaGammon]

Your good! I couldn't remember for the life of me when I made the video.

[@rondunnington9178]

Great video Joshua, I have a Sportsman 570 it's my third one actually.i carry al ost the same things on my bike all the time, the only difference is I have two dry bags that I keep socks a shirt and pare pants just in case.s

[@JoshuaGammon]

@@rondunnington9178 good call on the dry bags. I have one for kayaking but never take it ATVing. Might start doing that. Thanks for the tip Ron.

[@A_FEWGUYS_RACING]

This is correct

[@LuisGarcia-tb9po]

Dustin from Smarter Every Day would be proud

[@BigredApril1951]

Great video...one item I would carry, and in a hloster around my waist/chest and not store away, is bear spray...ya just never know!

[@JoshuaGammon]

Bear spray is a good idea! Not something I carry yet myself but should get! Cheers

[@BigredApril1951]

@@JoshuaGammon I'm in northeastern NB and we see bears and moose etc. on our trail so it's only being prudent to carry it.

[@JoshuaGammon]

@@BigredApril1951 I should get some for sure. Cheers 👍

[@MtnXfreeride]

Seems like big spray would be good to pack at all times. When things break in a wet area, bugs are lovely when trying to fix a bike. Its like they know you are fu*ked.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. Your right about that!

[@mopartopy]

The pulley is called a snatch block.

[@Maritimer]

Hey buddy, great kit ! I'd say you pretty much have everything covered ! Maybe bring some Toilet paper haha b/c you can only sacrifice two socks.... then your feet will get cold haha

[@JoshuaGammon]

Lol. Been there done that. Not fun!😀

[@emiliorios6076]

nenannah-zonayla-trick This was great, thanks, I have been researching "suggested emergency kit items" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Nenannah Zonayla Trick - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is a smashing exclusive guide for surviving a disaster without the headache.

Got to be ready for anything. Maybe in an upcoming video. Going to do a survival shelter and camp in it.

[@ArcticExploring]

Yeah great to be prepared

[@woods840]

What kind of little compressor is that? A definite must have, I have one that does not quite fit in the front trunk. Can't close the lid. Great vid.

[@JoshuaGammon]

The air compressor is just a cheap one from Canadian Tire. Thanks Evets

Watch the oil pump on those sportsman 570’s I had one and it broke and killed the motor

[@JoshuaGammon]

Thanks I will

[@kdiddy7076]

How do you use the block/pulley when winching? It’s pretty useless by itself.

[@mikequyl8754]

Get a battery jump pack portable

[@zinu8081]

As an emergency responder, what do I need to have on the atv?

[@JoshuaGammon]

Has an emergency responder that should be provided to you from your department I would think. I guess it depends on the level of services and level of training you have to provide.

Too bad you cannot add a hand gun especially out in Canada wilderness. I know gun laws are different, here in Idaho you can almost carry any weapon for personal protection.

[@JoshuaGammon]

A gun would be nice. But I really never came into a situation were I thought I needed one in the woods. Maybe in a big city a few times though. Feel safer in the woods.

[@devatwell334]

Yah not allowed to carry gun anywheres in Canada besides hunting. Cannot carry a pistol anywheres besides gun range
