What We Bring When We Go Riding

Gear up your UTV! Have more fun, get more done!
When you go out riding, you want to be prepared for what the trail is going to throw at you. In this video our Product Specialist and avid RZR rider, Jody goes through what he takes when he goes riding. Please remember that each ride is unique and you will need to adjust the gear you carry depending on your riding situation.

Always carry "QUICK CLOT Sponges or Gauzes" for major bleeders... its a life saver item! Should be every outdoor and indoor first aid kit... the 2nd must have is a Personal Emergency (Locater) Beacon...

Thanks for the video you are absolutely right about the polaris's breaking belts among other things that break as well

[@Filmpilot]

Good start! The most important thing to me is hydrated and a sat phone. If you’ve got comms, and water and/or a purifier you’ll always be able to be triangulated and found. Your list is fairly complete. Fire starters, chem lights, and lighters lightweight shelter and insect repellent. Make sure someone knows your start and end point and an eta. Quick clot and or celox should also be in there I would suggest. Just sayin. Think of every single scenario for the climate and terrain and worst case scenarios. Ride in groups. Brief and debriefing after every ride. Soon, you’ll have every eventuality covered. Always be prepared. Boy Scout #101.

If you cant afford a SAT phone, I would recommend a SPOT device. Dry change of clothes, and T.P.

[@doc559]

Thank you for sharing 🏆🏆🏆🤗🙏

[@Nopitunertv]

hey man I carry most of which you have. one recommendation. a jumper box or jumper cables. both take up little to no room and a dead battery is a huge pain in the ass. believe me I know.. lol

[@RonnieMX]

Thanks for the video, it's a good head start!

[@ernieleveritt7184]

Good video. Thanks

I always bring some sort of electrolyte drink. The one time I didn't I got into a pretty severe accident and it took a few hours for them to find me. After the shock wore off I couldn't stop shaking since my body had burned through everything from the adrenaline and my blood sugar was way too low. It was hard to stay awake just from that. I wasn't so badly injured that I had to go to the hospital, but I do still have the scars. Things like Gatorade technically have everything you need for survival in the short term. Long enough for them to find you so you don't get dehydrated. I sometimes bring food, but things like sandwiches won't keep if it's too hot so drinks to keep me hydrated and my blood sugar up are the priority for me in case it takes too long for me to be found in an emergency.

[@Seizmik]

Fantastic addition to the list. Glad you made it through the accident and are able to share this with us.

[@leslewis1800]

@@Seizmik Don't ride along!!

[@glenludwig5135]

You keep you winch control in the cab so you don’t have to get out. Who pulls winch line ?

[@billm7035]

This dude is prepared. Can’t imagine what he has in his basement for the apocalypse. ;)

[@jakevawdrey6530]

you forgot the kitchen sink lol

[@hippie784]

Jumper cables

[@brandonwright6578]

I’m sorry but the most important thing is a decent first aid kit not a cooler but great info.

[@Seizmik]

Couldn't agree more. Our oversight for sure. Thanks.

[@drewfoster1493]

First Aid kits are for scratches. Trauma kits save lifes...

[@mikewilson1833]

No duct tape?

[@drillsergeant623]

Who told you that you need to wear a helmet when you ride?

[@marksmith5994]

How about a tire plug kit?

[@Seizmik]

Mark, that is a fantastic addition. Excellent call.

[@dumolebob]

What, no fly swatter?

[@drewfoster1493]

I saved my brothers life with a tourniquet, Israeli bandage, and life flight showing up in 18 minutes on 4-23-22.... Dont be a fool and ride without a trauma kit and without some trauma/first aid knowledge.

[@secretlake5528]

You should add a Water Filtration kit a collapsible or foldable shovel waterproof matches three lighters in Ziploc bags a pen and paper playing cards

[@CrazyCanuckFitness]

Thank you! Fail to plan, plan to fail

[@MrKalon52]

Who do y'all recommend for hard poly roofs?

[@Seizmik]

If you're looking for a poly roof, we'd recommend going with Polaris (or other OEM depending on your vehicle). You just can't beat their fit and price. You might find something cheaper, but it won't fit as well. If you decide to go with a metal roof, there are lots (too many to discuss here) of options out there (material, customizations, fit, price, etc.) based on personal preferences and tons of fabricators to choose from. If you want to talk more about it, call us at 866-838-3366 and ask for Jody. He loves to talk about UTV stuff.

[@markwalker2637]

Good video don't you have a fire extinguisher

[@michaeldavis2938]

Tools to change a belt but not belt?
