Just a suggestion, use a vaccum food sealer to shrink your tube folded down. Takes up way les space. Bonus it protects the tube from wear inside the pouch next to your tools. Party on dude!

[@Wintersdark]

Great video! A suggestion - and I fear this may follow in the "like a giant Loop commercial" line, but ever considered showing specifically how you strap these things into bikes? That may seem obvious, but to people who don't know what a rock strap or pronghorn strap is, it may be very helpful to actually see it done. Particularly when you're attaching these pouches to other bags or whatever else. I've just seen lots of videos showing "this is the stuff I put on my bike" and "here is this stuff on my bike" but never clear "here's how to securely attach this stuff to you're bike"

[@Rlbert]

"I try not to bring tools for things I dont know how to fix anyway" I fuckin love that line.

[@Wheelo40]

Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a guy who has been there and done that! Thanks for this video. I have a great tool kit for my street bike but not the KLX300. Gonna get cracking on that right away. Many thanks.

[@Tony-zp8xn]

I've been in a process of evolving my tool kit lately, so it's been good to check out videos of what others have done. I had started with a Cruz Tools DMX kit that I acquired very inexpensively. After about a year, I decided that it's too heavy and bulky, so I switched to the KLIM pouch that came with my Nac Pak, and I swapped out some of the heavier tools for much lighter versions, such as the tire levers and adjustable spanner. I'm definitely overdue for putting together my own first aid kit.

[@trekOCLVone]

I bought the air compressor after watching your video - I can say it is a very good performance tool to have with you.

[@michaelmarkin1532]

This is a great reminder to me the importance of not skipping out on this stuff on my rides. A great winter project will be putting a kit together.

[@34danwar]

Dude with all toys you got now, just weld a tow hitch on that craftsman behind you! Just kidding man, I brought way too much on my first bdr, good vid and break down as to what to bring and why.

[@veriest1]

I'm impressed, that first aid kit is better than I thought it'd be. It's actually a little more than a boo-boo kit. However, more riders need to take a Stop the Bleed class to learn how to use tourniquets and pack wounds. Stop the Bleed is a pretty cheap class that is available locally through most of the US and the skills could be invaluable in the back country or even in town in the event of an accident.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Good advice. I need to add a tourniquet, splint, and some more robust bandages in addition to the surviveware kit.

[@olddirtbiker5088]

You got it right with the valve stem puller (or fisher). I installed a thick heavy duty tube and there's no way I could have guided the valve stem through the rim hole without it.

[@andrevokey4132]

you got me excited to prep for spring riding! hey just a thought, id love to see a budget camping kit ( harbor Fright / dollar store ). Thanks Ben!

[@elindenstein]

My wife got me tubeless rims for the T7 for Christmas - my toolkit is going on a massive diet when they arrive in May

[@WhY_ADV]

Vice grips "in a pinch", hahaha, love it!

[@scottmiller4516]

Add some bailing wire. Small, light, very handy at times.

[@DorkintheRoad]

There's safety wire in my "fix it kit" from Cruz tools

[@L--Z]

Stainless steel zip ties, yum...

[@RetiredAdventureRider]

I have a similar kit. I have one roll-up kit that I keep all the sized tools that I need to regularly do work on my bike. The valve puller is a life saver. The first time I changed a tube, I spent a long time trying to thread that valve through. I'm still not great at getting tires on and off, but I've done it enough times now at home that I'm confident I can do it on the trail.

[@Outdoorspapa]

Just one thing you might add, it’s saved me a couple times on cold nights when someone breaks down. All bags on my bike have a cheap bic lighter in them. Cheap lite and you can always start a fire when you need to.

[@nose2wind872]

How about if you were going to fly and ride (rent) what would you take besides your clothing duffel. It has to be minimal, and easy to strap onto a bike you don't own. I enjoyed the video 🙂

[@Crittermoto]

This is a great video reference for those building their own tool kits, great job!

[@DorkintheRoad]

That means a lot coming from you!

[@michaellaughlin3962]

Ah, wintertime…going through tools and camping gear dreaming about riding weather…great video!

[@davidseward7857]

I would ride my SL-90 all winter long in Minnesota...stay on the hard packed snowmobile trails, or lake ice!

[@robdanner3833]

Lots of really good added value here! But man, That is A LOT of stuff. Some of the things are absolutes, and then other stuff is "what if...". When I saw how much you took on the WABDR, I was reminded that after I pack, I'll pack for everything running through my head....and then I mentally "reset", look at my rig and try to cut it in half. Then I'll walk away for a bit, concentrate on some other things, and then come back to it and then try to half it again.....and then load my bike and leave. Light is Right. There have been times I wish I had something, but generally things seem to work out fine. In general, we're all going to go to town everyday anyways. Just my 2 cents...

[@MatthewBrigham-1]

I like to wrap my tube up with some plastic and duct tape to prevent other things from running a hole in it over time.

[@garethkelsey-evans7418]

Spare chain link and chain breaker is good too.

[@bshortt4244]

I always learn little bits on these kinds of video.... thank you

[@markgrandstaff1067]

I don't see a tourniquet in your first aid kit. They can be a life saver. Easy to use, cheap and inexpensive.

[@Bob_on_Bikes]

I bring all the tools, but still need to get myself a first aid kit.

[@reallifehardtruth4465]

Buy all the first aid stuff you want first then decide if you want it in a bag, backpack, etc..... you will save a lot of money. I've found that first aid `kits` are much more expensive. Trust me I'm some guy on the internet

[@Bob_on_Bikes]

[@lkjagodics]

That is a mighty fine shirt... Hail to the king baby! I like to go over my bike to see what tools are required. I know my bike well enough to know what comes loose so I carry those tools. I bring a manual bicycle pump as I know it will work. Vice grips are the best!... work for a lot of bolts great vid.

[@AllenSpeck]

Great setup. I really like the tools that you carry. Some handy ideas that I had not thought about before.

[@Adameftube]

... off to organise my tools now. Thanks.

[@mrbjay5443]

Excellent, excellent video and accompanying literature. Thank you for this. It's superb for us!

[@MultiMoose29]

Great breakdown of essentials! Good explanation of how to organize tools and repair items to get yourself back home. Multiple bikes require thought to make sure you have a full set of everything on every trip.

[@JoeRadman]

Hello from Canada! Great video - and keep on doing what you need to with these videos re monetization/algorithm stuff. I very much appreciate all that you're doing. I'm new to riding and these are all great. Thank you so much.

[@beyondtheletterbox]

Nice work. I have a similar setup. My Co2 is with a Co2 compatible bike pump so I have the ability to add air with or without Co2 or a compressor, helpful for minor adjustments. And I carry a trail stand when on longer trips, which is made from a cut down crutch. I also ALWAYS have a snake bandage in the tyre change kit, as I don’t always have a first aid kit, but won’t go without the bandage. Way too many danger noodles in Australia. And lastly, my personal location beacon is kept with the tyre kit, so I have to take it and pretend to be a responsible adult. Great video, keep at it!

[@FrancoisTX1974]

Cooool back to the basic in the Dork cave.

[@phansen657]

Tools are always nice to have along, you just hope you don't need them. Normal luck would have it, you will need them if you don't have them along:).

[@ALinthePacificNW]

Great timing as I am setting up my tool kit(s) right now. I like the modular concept - makes much more sense than trying to get everything into one bag. Love the content. I have learned so much from you. Take care, -Al

[@HeathBarbierPhoto]

This is really helpful. I've been struggling to figure out how to set up an all in one kit without stopping to consider breaking things up depending on the trip.

[@dirtroadjim5970]

yesterday I was the dork in the dirt .. Got my pants stuck on the footpeg did a slow motion crash worthy of KZbin ....thanks ....

[@pinkiewerewolf]

I bought a Stockton branded tire wrench/spoon set that has the interchangeable closed wrench adapters. Its handy for multiple bike sizes though the aluminum feels to delicate to use as a spoon. I think Motion Pro might have a system like it as well. Love the GL Possibles bags, thanks for your previous videos which turned me on to their uses. Traded the 1290 for an 890 and had to ride it the 500 miles back home with only the Rogue and a couple Pronghorn and ROX straps. Love those things.

[@markrusk2870]

[@robertupchurch8088]

Great video, I do something similar with tire inflator/plug kit, then swap out tool rolls for the bike I’m on. I’ve found the bag like the GL Possibilities Pouch very useful. I’ve been using a similar Givi crash bar bag or a 20l Kriega.

[@reallifehardtruth4465]

Fab up a mono wheel trailer for camping with your Honda. I can weld aluminum, with some help from our shop at work. So far all I have is a 21 inch wheel and axle that I found thru Facebook market place. I have a v strom now but I plan on getting a Honda 300 as soon as I can. I live 8n fairbanks ak the v strom is not really suitable. The local dealers are rather coy about availablety. I have not found a lot of info on KZbin about mono wheel trailers. I have seen them out in the wild though

[@kayagon]

Good video, have you thought of adding a chain tool and links to repair a broken chain on the trail?

[@tiolevine]

I want to go riding with you! You're carrying everything we need to fix a bike! You ever want to go and explore the northern tip of The siskiyou national Forest let me know I live in Powers Oregon.

[@DorkintheRoad]

Well this is what I carry when I'm on my own. In a group we try to plan ahead to avoid doubling up on stuff and spread the load out a bit.

[@motogreyhounds]

@@DorkintheRoad I take as much stuff as I need, never know when someone has to split off.

[@rayurlich]

Thank you. "Excellent" and instructive video. 😊

[@MarcSherwood]

Do you ever adjust the kits based off of what the other riders will be taking along? I tend to ride with the same two friends each serious ride and we have sort of split up the loads to make sure we have at least one of everything, but never three of the same things. That tire inflator and jumpstart pack are two things that I think I need to buy right now.

[@wandersofp]

Do you have a tire pressure gauge? Seems pretty comprehensive.. can the power pump run off bike power if juice runs out? Some of the 12v little compressors are smaller and run easy enough off a battery tender. I carry a mountain bike pump most of the time. Might be worth wrapping your tube up a bit more to protect it in there, I usually have mine in a individual bag with a bit of duct tape. Some spare bolts and fasteners are a good idea, a small loctite stick. I've had parts fall off on long bdr rides.. you can buy little bolt kits designed to be geared towards your brand bike that come in handy. I know some people have changed out hardware to eliminate some wierd sizes as well but thats a little far for me.

[@billlovell-smith9705]

Hi Ben, I’d be interested in the content of your first aid kit, as in what you have that is specific to riding motorbikes, and anyone else’s ideas for that matter. For example I have added extra sterile water capsules for eye washing eg. insect strikes, some plastic film for burns from exhausts, and an extra strap for using as a tourniquet. I also always carry a small fire extinguisher. Another good vid, got me thinking about carrying too much ‘just in case’ shite. Cheers, Bill

[@michaelkrenzer3296]

Add Vetbond. Since the manufacturers of "human" skin bonding adhesives won't sell them to the general public, this is the identical formulation. It can seal up a cut of pretty impressive nature enough to get you out of the back country. Most folks are not prepared to stitch themselves up in the field but few are adverse to cleaning cut and gluing it shut.

[@billlovell-smith9705]

Good idea Michael, not sure of availability of it in NZ though but I’ll ask our horse veterinarian next time I see her, but not too soon hopefully! Cheers, Bill

How many flats have you had to fix on the trail? I ask not to be smaht arse, I have been riding a long time and never had one myself. I am finally putting together a spoon/pump/tube kit for my klr, since I go out a long way before getting to the trails. Dont want a flat to keep me from getting home when 4+ hours away. Thx for a couple great ideas BTW!

[@uncleansanchez]

I'm guessing you haven't tried changing/repairing a tube on your Tenere yet because I didn't see anything in your tools that facilitates breaking the bead on the newer adv rims. The T7's rear tire doesn't use a bead lock and instead uses "safety beads" to keep the tire in its place on the rim. They aren't so easy to dismount the bead. In fact, the only trail remedy I have seen to date is Motion Pro's "Bead Pro" tools. If you know of something better or other than the MP levers, let us know because sometimes using an angle grinder to cut the tire off the bead isn't feasible or an option.
