Here are some thoughts about what you might want to put in your riding bag. This isn't a comprehensive list of things, but it's a good starting point. From here you can add or subtract things depending on your needs.

A spare master link for a broken chain
Sit in your garage one night and take your carburetor all the way off and disassemble it down to the jets , front and back wheels off , chain , air filter , spark plug, and power valve all off the bike. As you grab a new tool set it in a pile. try to use sockets that all use the same drive like 1/4" or 3/8" drive , take all those tools and put them in a pack with you. I can't imagine needing anything more than that. it's not like you can replace parts on the trail you don't have, so you only need to take tools for things you can actually do. like cleaning out a fuel bowl , adjusting the float , tightening the chain , swapping out a spark plug. I used to carry a spare spark plug , and extra jets , two sizes up and two sizes down even though i never felt the need to actually change them while in the middle of a ride. Water , first aid and food are other things i carry. I keep a spare chain ,tubes , and large tool kit in the truck with chain lube ,brake fluid, carb clean, and a few extra random nuts and bolts of different lengths. A Lot of the bolts on newer bikes are the same thread pitch and diameter , keeping just two or three spare bolts makes a big difference. And lock tight everything!
A Space Blanket, it is light and small and cheap. If someone is hurt and laying on the ground it may be a while for help to arrive. It may delay going into shock. 20 of them for $16. on Amazon, give them to other riders in your group.
Tourniquet and/or pressure dressing. Gotta be able to stop serious bleeding. If going light, a triangle bandage can suffice as an improvised tourniquet or sling/swathe
Love it! One more thing I would consider is some kind of rope/tie down/tow strap.
He has one on his front forks
Super glue for bad cuts. Very compact. Very effective
i always take a snake bite/bee sting kit. you can get them cheap at walmart or any drug store. we are in the NC mountains and come across yellow jacket nests quite a bit on hikes and single track riding. along with a solo cigarette or dip bandit pouch will take a way the sting within minutes so your bee sting, especially with kids, is not lingering. pull some tobacco out and put it directly on sting. also we ride where there are occasional copperheads and rattle snakes. this kit will also buy you some time until professional medical care can reach you if that rare moment strikes. one more key thing when it is hot are some electrolyte tablets to add or in addition to water consumption. if you are stuck changing tires or repairs in the direct sunlight in the middle of summer you will want some of these because your sweat will remove your salts and sugars from your system quickly
I know this might sound silly but in your pack , always keep a headlight light, you know the ones you wear around your forehead? They weigh almost nothing, you never know if you are gonna be stranded in the dark. Another thing I always keep, lighters in my pack, and fire starter kindle, you can buy Fire starter Balls, they are the size of a gum ball and are made of wax and kindle and they weigh NOTHING, again. You never know if you will need to start a fire for any reason. Have fun out there everyone!!!
Hello from Marbella Spain I hope your recovery is going well Hope see you soon in your bike😊👍👍👍 keep up
I like to have extra spark plugs and a motion pro bead buddy with the tire irons ! Great vid !
Hello from the UK, hope your recovery is going well. Keep it up great content
Nathan Surname hello from also the uk :)
Good luck in your recovery the only other thing I carry is wire for grips or just holding something together to get back to the truck, and duct tape
Very similar to my pack. I carry a first aid kit, tool roll, tow strap, a good knife, a hand chain saw, emergency snack, JB weld, mini bike pump, Garmin InReach
Riding a two stroke I always have an extra plug
Rob Wise or two!
What kind of plug? Tire? Spark?
Great thing to add that can save a life is a true tourniquet. Not a belt, can be the difference between life and death. Thanks for sharing though love your videos!
Great video! One trick with the hydration bladder, you can blow air into the bladder to increase pressure, then use it as a “water hose” to irrigate a fresh wound. May i also suggest some Tylenol/acetaminophen. In case of a head injury, you wouldn’t want to use a drug like ibuprofen because it can thin the blood a little (thinking in terms of an intracranial bleed from head injury).
Spark plug and wrench. Binocs. Baling wire. Cashews. Leatherman. Buddy towstrap. Matches and smoke bomb. Whistle. Signal mirror. Great video sir!
Nice video👍 Here in Sweden me and my friends never bring so much things. But a clutch lever is one of the most important spare part for me.
Good luck recovering dude feel better soon bye
Super glue if you get cut is light and easy to carry. That JB weld has saved many days for me and my buddy’s.
Great ideas there. I like to bring some toilet paper. You just never know... :) I hope you are recovering well.
I bring wet wipes a lot
Dirt Bike Channel wet wipes are awesome 😁
Every dad has wipes in their day pack it seems.
I've got a small first aid kit from west marine I carry. And you have to have a sharp knife in any kit. I also went away from bike pumps to a CO2 cartridge for filling tires. Much smaller and lighter. Can get them from any bike shop.
One very simple first aid item you can carry are a few rolls of gauze which can be used as blood stoppers, compression bandages, immobilizers, and even to tie down something
Cool video man. For first aid, I always bring at least 2 CAT tournaqites, sharpie marker, combat gauze, a pressure bandage, and some kind of medical shears for cutting clothing/gear.
I know it’s an old video but I solely went to comments to say a tourniquet and compression bandage. I’m glad to see someone else thought the same already
Almost what i have in my pack, but You can make it lighter, You have to add silicón self fusing tape for radiator hoses, a spark plug, Chaín máster link, a good multitool and Paracord, we have use it to tow Bikes. Hope You recover soon.
I use equine wrap (vet wrap) instead of the athletic wrap. It's much cheaper and you can get wider rolls and cut them down to the size you like, I also carry the leatherman signal utility tool with the driver bits the case for this also houses a Ferro rod and AAA single cell flashlight.
On longer mountain rides I have an ultralight bike recovery kit I've designed in case we lose a bike off the side of a steep trail. Definitely saves us from exhaustion recovering a bike. Lastly, I carry a collapsible camelback bottle with a dose of Ryno power hydration fuel.
I carry all that and a 2 meter radio, revolver, sometimes a GPS, a full small first aid kit space blanket, trash bag. Tire irons and a tube on long rides. Than in the air box I keep a small bottle of mix and some cash just in case
SAM Splint (packs nicely where ever your water bladder is) and Quik clot.
For long rides and I carry water,snacks,adjustable wrench,spare spark plug,front and rear tubes,levers and perches,1 liter bottle of premixed gas,short length of fuel line,lighter,my meds and bandages,roll of toilet paper 2 handkerchiefs,8-10-12-14mm wrenches,small 1/4" metric ratchet set,jb weld,tube of silicone gasket maker and zip ties,heavier things go in my rear fender bag/tubes and go in the front fender bag,tire tools and tire pump go in an organizer that I made thats mounted in my airbox. So far I've never been stranded in the last 32 years
I always carry a little mirror. Helps getting grit, etc out of ur eye and doubles as an emergency signaling device.
I personally take a tourniquet on every ride, just in case. maybe some quikclot and pressure bandage
I would add a small LED flashlight in too, for those longer days of riding.
As you ride new dirt bikes mostly, those kits are fine, I would add some wire and a knife and maybe 100mh tape and a small torch. Maybe a triangle bandage for 1st aid but you can cut up a t shirt or other clothing with the knife to use as bandages in a emergency situation. Some people carry way too much.
Always spark plug, sometimes two, and a spark plug spanner that fits your bike easily. And the essential duct tape, small roll. Plus any spare that particular to your bike that you need (levers, clutch perch). To save weight dont take as many tools. A small adjustable spanner can handle a lot.
Personally I’d add a compass for longer rides. I’ve been on some trails where it was handy
Good starting point for first aid kit is Adventure Medical Kits "Trauma Pak with QuikClot." This has the items that you will more then likely need to stabilize and get back to camp/car, and then to the hospital. Beyond this kit, and likely even more important, I would encourage a good intensive wilderness first aid class. Skills are always going to be more valuable then equipment. A boo-boo kit is good to have, but at the end of the day, it's trauma that is the threat. See you on the trails!
I never comment on these things, but one major first aid item is a good light weight tourniquet. One arterial bleed can end a life fast in the wilderness. A small packable item like that could save a life!
Look into a IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) they are made specifically for trauma wounds and pretty much anything you could get yourself into. They're extremely small and light weight and have everything you could ever need including tourniquets to stop excessive bleeding. and medical scissors to rapidly cut off gear if need be. There is a lot of good options for IFAKs and a lot have quick clot so if you were to get gashed or something its much easier than it is for a bandage and gauze to control bleeding and such related things. Definitely would recommend an IFAK. They were developed originally to be carried by soldiers in war but many people carry them everywhere they go because they're extremely compact, lightweight and useful. Typical cost for a quality IFAK is anywhere from $150-300
Even though my bike is jetted properly I keep a spark plug with me.I also just bought a tusk tow strap.My sons bike broke down not that far from the truck but when your pushing a bike it’s far!
For sure some rope or strap. We had to pull a yz426 back up to the trail with our belts. I have always packed a rope since.
Kyle great to see you doing your best to still make videos and not pouting around the house cause you're injured! Keep up with physical therapy and you'll be back before you know it!!
this video was filmed the day before surgery, but I have been filming some afterwards. I have to keep productive.
Dirt Bike Channel
Yeah keep a positive attitude and keep productive like you said. The only reason I say something is I hot hit my an IED in Iraq got hurt real bad then I got in a slump taking pain killers and not going to physical therapy and now I regret it everyday my hip and knee have very limited range of motion. I still get out and ride/work now tho but could be much easier. Anyway thanks for all the videos you've put out they have helped me a lot thru the years getting into dirt biking!
My riding is different. But I appreciate the details on this review.
Hey from Zimbabwe, great vids always enjoy them. A great blood stopper are tampons, seriously should not ride with out them. All the best with your recovery.
Hey, my dad comes from Zimbabwe.
Small water bottle caps always come off during bumpy ride. Then the water leaks out. Love hydration bladder or big, hard water bottles for offroading
Small Vice grips pliers. Works as a plier, clamp, cutter, etc.
Good kit! Might add some duct tape and baling wire in small amounts. The best addition by far to the medical kit would be some left over Hydrocodone (Norco) if you are lucky enough to have a prescription at some time (perhaps from let's say a knee surgery?). It is a powerful effective pain killer for those injuries that hurt so much you want to puke, but won't get you so incapacitated that you can't ride back. Get rehabbed, Kyle!
Love your videos! Thinking about getting my family into dirt bikes and you have been really helpful. I'm concerned about your lack of a dedicated first aid kit. Check out some stop the bleed videos along with local red cross. Only only only North American Rescue tourniquets! (None of that Amazon junk) Also look into "sucking chest wound" bandages. So easy to be impaled doing what your doing. You could increase your survivability rate with minimum training and cash. Please keep making videos they're great! Stay safe!
Some things I carry:
Spark plug and spark plug wrench. Safety wire for broken chains.
Yes, an extra plug or two with a wrench. Never know.
Show us your new trials bike, even if you totaled it in the crash. I’ve been RRREALLY curious about it...
I find that carrying liquid bandages help to help with saving space in my bug out bags
You need a tow strap have a good day
For first aid, head to any outdoor store(except REI, cause they hate dirt bikers) and get a kit. They come in different sizes depending how thorough you want to be.
add a shift lever and clutch ,common size nuts and bolts for your bike ,locktite, ...you for the most part have it
you forgot to pack a rolled joint
I carry that plus an extra spark plug and oil riding my two stroke
Screwdriver with interchangeable bits. Good luck on your recovery
I have that in one of those packs.
I put a bottle of engine ice which is half a gallon and I fill it with gas firsts nicely
I have been laughed at for carrying spare hand levers in my pack!
Zip ties, spark plug, spark plug socket, screwdriver with interchangeable bits, torch, sharpie and a multitool
Cool
Great vid. In regards to lightweight first aid gear. Including women's sanitary pads and tampons is ideal. Used as heavy wound dressings they are ideal, weigh nothing and take up hardly any room.
Matt Curry Tampons also work great for fire starters. You just dip them in your gas tank and you can start a bon fire.
Victor Beazel yep also dipped in vaseline makes a great additive to a survival kit. Acts like a candle as a fire starter.
Nice vid,any update on the shipping on the T-shirt?been two weeks
Regarding first aid: I began carrying various versions of the Adventure Medical Kits sold by REI when mountain biking and they should work just as well for dirt bike riding. Having said that, I discovered the SkinnyMedic.com and his CZcams channel after I took a Red Cross course a few years ago and now carry a much more technical kit in my truck. I try to support that channel since he created a full-blown store out of a backyard business, and he does offer kits as well.
I'd suggest a small first aid kit as well. They are usually very light and have most of the things u need. If u didn't want one, at least carry gauze pads and a little ointment to help heal wounds. That combined with ur wrap should help bigger wounds
Hey Kyle, hear Honda’s news?.... they are coming out with a 2019 CRF250RX
Hey, I'm just wondering where you got the power valve adjuster from.
I'd be curious what your "long day" pack weighs. Does your back ever act up with carrying that amount of weight all day? It would be nice if that took kit could be mounted somewhere on the bike IMO.
Try to buy low profile saddle packs for you fenders on your bike. Make the bike hold its gear and you hold your own water and food lol
Kyle, what brand is that tire iron with all the different nut sizes for wheel removal - I think you said it had 27mm, 32mm, maybe a 17mm - I'd like to get one of those. Thanks, hope the knee is healing well!
Next video should be "what are some good trail bags?" (unless that already is a video, please direct me to it). My jansport book bag from college should probably be upgraded.
You do not need all those sockets. You have the KTM Set that does everything you should not need all those y socket set. I would just run one key for both back packs. That’s just my thinking. Thanks for showing us your stuff.
Valve stem tool
Add a chain breaker and extra links.
I dont know if you read comments from these videos anymore but to setup a first aid kit search "nutnfancy level 1 first aid kit"
How about adding wire to the kits? Light weight and multi-function.
U- sway 👍
hello mate whats the best types of fender bags
Gauze and some tape should be good enough for anything
You should include some Israeli bandages they're really great for compression
Does anyone else prefer not to have that much weight on their back? I put tools on the fender.
No master links or spark plugs? Those are 2 main carries. Along with wrench and pliers.
A tourniquet is a lightweight lifesaver
Im pretty minimal in what i carry i have 2 sparkplugs a folding saw a gerber multitool the motion pro tool kit some wrenches and the stock beta wrench then i also have some duct tape a strap and some paracord and some TP just in case
opioid is the way to go
Wait what 🤣
For first aid id recommend alcohol wipes
Kyle, where did you pick up these tool packs? Is this something you had to piece together yourself?
Good question
www.klim.com/Arsenal-Tool-Pak-3852-000
Use a tool pak like Mike posted, and piece the rest together. Kyle has some of the factory ktm tool kit items plus alot of his own stuff.
kyle, when are we going to see u shred a guitar.
Probably never. I don't play anymore and I was never any good while I was playing on a daily basis.
Dirt Bike Channel Noooooooooo
Why did you switch from GoPro to Sony cams?
Gopro video and audio are now not as good as sony. The last Gopro that was decent was the Hero 4. It had good audio, but the video is now quite inferior to others. The real issue with the Sony though, is the mic is on the wrong spot for riding, so I have to use a mic inside the helmet. That is a huge pain, but the video coming from the sony is much better. It's got optical stabilization, which GoPro doesn't
Dirt Bike Channel hero 6 has it
Doesnt the Hero 5 and hero 5 session also have OIS
I've been using a Hero 4 for 2 years with the ProShot mount and it works awesome! It has great audio and can shoot up to 4K video. I can't ask for more than that!
Sonys are way better.
Peruvian flag in the left pack backs inner side 🇵🇪
Wound seal is a great lite weight way to stop bleeding.
Benjamin Shively I carry that as well! Great call
Spare spark plug?
Hey Kyle I entered to win that bike I purchased a hat and it never came. I live in Galt California how do I get that hat?
Why do you Not Use Mousse ?
Btw have you ever ridden a tm?
Not yet.
Dirt Bike Channel Ok. Would love to hear your thoughts about tm enduro 250/300 some day... Is it possible to get one in the us?
Check out Adventure Medical Kits. They're packed well with important items and the kits are compact, lightweight, and waterproof. I keep their 0.5 kit in my pack for everyday use (4oz). www.adventuremedicalkits.com/medical-kits/ultralight-watertight/ultralight-watertight-5.html
Duct tape and Leatherman. Or just dump your tool kit and bring a Leatherman and duct tape! JK...sort of.
Nuts and bolts, duct tape and wire.
Toilet paper and or baby wipes 😎
im the guy that have to ask for help because i dont have shit on me lol
Don’t fall with that bag on man. With that camo on nobody would ever see you if you were laying on the floor face down 😂
Wire is always superior to zip ties. Tow strap. Emergency Mylar blanket. Rain fly... oh and vice grips.
