Thanks for stopping by! Let me know if you use any of this stuff or if you heard something new today!! 👍

[@chandaharkins4418]

This was a different kind of essentials list, and I appreciated that! I agree that the RoadID is a must.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks! And yes it is, definitely helps with peace of mind!

[@theprincipallife4298]

Great info! It's funny how much of the same gear we share in common. 1. Flipbelt: I use the Nathan VaporKrar Waist Pack with soft flask (use for mid distance runs and perfect for phone, gels, and flask). Same concept as flipbelt. 2. I have the same Nathan handheld...perfect fit, I agree! 3. Road ID...I need to make this happen. GREAT IDEA! 4. Surviveware...I will check this out. Great item to keep in my vehicle. 5. Roller: I use a similar item for rolling, but with no foam cover. 6. Dry Bag: I just bought the same exact dry bags for my race in January (mine are orange). QUALITY BAGS and great price if your looking for drop bags! 7. Bins: I use 2 totes with lids for my jeep that measure 24"x18"x7...everything is ready to go! 8. Gators: I have never used gators before...research time. 9. Headlamp: I use the PETZL - REACTIK+ Headlamp, 300 Lumens. Love this thing! 10. Running Vest: I use the Salomon ADV Skin 12 Set (just bought last month) and this thing is a game changer. Fits like a glove and more storage than I could ever use. Worth the price! Thanks for sharing information...this is how we learn and grow as runners.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for commenting on each item! You are right, sharing information is how we grow as runners. I’m excited to check out some of the items you mentioned, thanks!!! Have a great day!

[@theprincipallife4298]

@@RyanClaytonFilms I just ordered the Road ID...This is important for all the early morning runs and trail runs out in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the advice!!!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome!!!!

[@JustinDoesTriathlon]

Question for both you and Ryan... Do you ever get sore at the base of the bottles, from the pressure/light bouncing? On one hand, I know I need to HTFU. On the other, ow. 3/4 hours stuff here.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

I don’t, the soft flasks solve that problem form me. Is that what you use or do you use hard bottles?

[@EHughes0658]

Hey Ryan. It's great that you are encouraging the use of cheaper options as so many folk don't. In my experience, some cheaper stuff can outlast the expensive! I have a Flip Belt and yeah it's really useful; think I paid about £35 here in UK so quite pricey for what it is. I also use a Salomon Agile 250 belt which will store a 250ml soft flask (probs would stretch to a 500ml), my phone and a lightweight waterproof jacket, in my case an Inov8 Ultra Shell as it'll pack/roll down really small. Must get some crates for my car too!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome, you have a good setup!!

[@DartmoorPaul]

Best piece of kit.... your RoadID. Haven’t carried one as have details in phone, but that’s no good if phone dies. I’m definitely getting one & can also add organ donor “yes”.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Yeah, I love having it, I wear it on every run/ride/openwater swim! I even wear it when I'm traveling, just in case!

[@benbergan8312]

Great selections, especially the wipes. A simple addition but really comes in handy during our hot/humid summer runs.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Totally! They are kinda awkward to talk about, people instantly think of baby wipes haha, but they are great!

[@joel_poindexter]

The flip belt is the unsung hero of running gear. That little thing can hold your keys, phone and like a thousand calories, fits like a glove, and doesn't ride up or bounce around.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

I couldn't agree more, it is so useful!! Thanks!

[@56932982]

I use a Nathan VaporKrar WaistPak. It is basicly a fancy flip belt and comes with a 0.5 l soft flask.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Cool!! I’ll check that out!

[@sleepwalkinpyro]

Enjoyed the vid. Thank you for the reaffirmation that I need to add some gear crates to my trunk.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Sweet!! Glad you liked it, and thanks for letting me know!!!

[@alexdtucker]

Very true, nick. My trunk is a total mess.

[@meredithbrooks8161]

I have the same Nathan handheld bottle - love it. I used the soft Nathan EXO flasks for awhile but they leak pretty bad. I'm a big believer in RoadID, too!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Cool!! Those bottles are great, and the road id is so important to wear for sure. Thanks!

[@charliethorst8290]

Thanks for the video Ryan! This is exactly the kind of video I needed as I look to increase my trail running frequency this year.

[@KellyMSharp]

Super helpful Ryan! Thank you. I'm still building up my gear and this is great!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

That’s great!! I’m glad it was helpful! Good luck as you progress!!

[@mikekostka7127]

Really great review on commonly used items. Thanks

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you so much!!

[@marquidee3920]

I watch a lot of gear videos and yes over time it is all the same and some obvious, but once in awhile one recommendation is unique and sometimes overlooked Such is your #3recommendation for a road ID. I bike to work, Mountain bike at times, trail run and even my delivery job I can be out in rural back-country areas. The road ID makes sense. Something that I will definitely add to my Gear/EDC Thanks for the share recommendation!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks for letting me know! That’s awesome!

Nice delivery, sincere and genuine!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you so much!!

[@vivianwtang3983]

This is an awesome video. I've watched top gear videos before and this is a little different. Very practical. You got yourself a new subscriber. :)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Wow, thank you so much!!!

[@TheOriginalEntz]

Pleasant personality :) . My favourite on the list has to be the flip belt though. The box is a great idea hmm :)

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!! Yeah I really like the flip belt, don’t even really notice it’s there and can cram a lot of stuff in it

[@DartmoorPaul]

Great video Ryan & some awesome gear ideas. Im a gaiter convert too! My Dirty Girls are brilliant and work with my Altras. Definitely going to look at some of your items though especially RoadID

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome!!

[@alexdtucker]

I agree! I'd recommend the RoadID too, paul. It's a little load off the mind.

[@DartmoorPaul]

@@alexdtucker thanks and yes, took Ryan's advice and got me a RoadID. I feel much better having something that identifies me when solo running and even working away from home.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Nice!!

[@alexdtucker]

@@DartmoorPaul I totally agree, it's just a little peace of mind.

[@williamrunner6718]

You're a good dude! Thanks for your videos and your trail gear recommendations and reviews!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks for the kind words! 👍👍

[@CraigWilliamsUltra]

Flipbelt definitely. I always run with mine.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome! Me too!

[@kindfranklin7099]

I really appreciate your video. Great reviews. Happy New Year.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!! Happy New Year to you as well, good luck in 2019!!

[@JamieStewart7]

Nice video Ryan. Some interesting bits of gear 👍🏃‍♂️

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!!

[@esevladi]

Anti chafe balm, gps watch, earbuds, running hats, sunglasses, solar Block and a raincoat

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

All great additions! 👏

[@patrickmccrary2006]

Hey Ryan, great video. I like that green drop bag, what size is it? I think I'm going to pick up the crate, the gaiters and flip belt. Awesome recommendations.

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Awesome, if you use the links it should go right to them all, the bag is the 20 L size. Thanks for letting me know!

[@patrickmccrary2006]

It certainly did. Lol

[@ASiqueira1973]

loved the list!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks! Hopefully it helps some people!

[@LoneEndurance]

Epic lighting and vibe! I would love to hear about your lighting setup in a reply to this comment or a video!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thanks! I just recently got an Aputure 120d, so that is my main light. Then I have a small LED with a blue gel over my shoulder. The lamp in the frame is almost dimmed all the way down. That's it! Thanks for asking. I checked out your channel, cool stuff man, excited to watch more. Take care!

[@LoneEndurance]

@@RyanClaytonFilms Thanks :)

[@AirRyan45]

What's your opinion on running with a camelbak?

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

I think it's great, on really long and hot runs I will put a bladder pack on my back and drink with the tube to make it easier and help keep cool.

[@user-jx3kq7vc8e]

wow, that's a great video!

[@RyanClaytonFilms]

Thank you!!
