I second the addition of a tarp and some good quality 550 cord. Had to do an expedient suspension repair in the middle of nowhere, chucking down rain. Was nice to string the tarp overhead just to get relief from the constant pouring rain, and made a nice spot to change out of soaking wet clothes, make a hot coffee and wipe off/repack the tools, baling wire etc. I also carry a small kit of stainless bolts, washers, nuts, hose clamps. Also replaced all 1/4" drive tools with Fix it Sticks.
Wow thats alot of stuff. I've been riding Hondas since 2000. A recon and a rancher stopped caring all that stuff and started packing for comfort. Chair, table speakers,heater, tarp hiking poles cooler ,food, stove, water. Things i use everytime I go out not just once in blue moon.
Gotcha; makes sense. I’m more of a “worst case scenario” guy that doesn’t want to not have something I need if something goes sideways. I’ve never used most of the stuff in there, and hope I never have to! But at least I know I have it if I need it.
I carry just about everything you do highly recommended having a torque wrench or something to take your tire off and also a tarp in case you get stuck out in a rainstorm and possibly a hand saw
Great set up, may I recommend replacing a few towels with a small tarp and maybe some 550 cord that can be used for shelter from rain or sun if you stop for a bit or and emergency.
Great video! What a beautiful yard with those fall colours! I have just bought an Overland 1000 so I have tons of storage space. This is new to me as I always rode dirt bikes. But now I am old and brittle so it's an ATV for me. As you know, you can't get much into a ruck sack. I like the idea of lining top and bottom of box with towels to eliminate rattle. Added bonus: a towel could be used as pressure bandage. I liked the tire repair stuff. A tire pump? Awesome since you have the room. I have a chainsaw, tree saver strap and am getting snatch block for changing winching angles. Oh, and a Coleman single burner stove... I know, crazy. Not sure about that one but it was gift from work. Maybe use with snow tracks on quad when it's minus 10 out. Hot soup or something.
A small folding shovel for digging yourself or someone else out. I found an old German surplus that folds to tiny size, but is good at digging and the edge doubles as an axe.
Funny I carry like the same exact set-up. What made me laugh is the towels, I do the same thing for the same reasons. Only thing I can think I carry in addition is a set of rain gear. But yeah I have the hat for stopping so the sun is out of my eyes or to stay warm. Also the safety goggles, I will switch to those in warmer less dustier conditions. Also I do keep things in bags. So vinyl type camping bags for the bigger bulkier things and ziplock bags for smaller stuff. Oh one more thing I use a little Pelican dry box for my phone, wallet, and truck keys.
Nice! I keep my keys in the dry storage on the front fender usually. My phone goes right on the handlebars so it’s going to get wet if it rains lol. I have since gotten a set of rain gear. Our ride in June was wet enough to make me want to keep a set on me always!
Nice! Well thought out, i've been meaning put together my own little kit. Nice tip about the gloves, I hadn't considered that but in the winter months that will be nice.
Yup, you look prepared! Much of that I always have in my quad at all times in my front storage. Maybe much less towels though? Lol. That back storage is great for tow straps, ratchet straps or bungee cords. Always good to have, never know when you have an issue and need to strap your machine together. Been there! No saws? Should look into bow saw, or find up saw like a pruning saw or Silky saw. Always good to have, never know! Yup, also enjoy a good cigar on the trail too!
Hey Ghost! I wish I didn't have to take so many towels but need to keep stuff from bouncing around! A saw is a great idea. I need to start looking into something like that. Think I may have something lying around the shed I can throw in. Thanks!
@@blaze_atv Just bugging ya! Good idea on the towels, I have such a large bin on mine that everything slides around on when I'm packing light. So towels are a good idea and dual purpose... it rains, or you get trapped in the forest... good for warmth or fire starter too I suppose.
After watching your video, I went to my trunk box and all I had was empty beer cans... LOL I just realized how UNPREPARED I am when I go out riding! HAHAHA Awesome video, my friend! Cheers from the middle of nowhere Alaska!👍
Hah! Fantastic. I can’t say I haven’t found a few empty cans in there myself! (There’s a reason I did a vid of putting the stuff back in the box as opposed to taking it all out, along with empty cans, hah). Thanks for tuning in, glad you enjoyed. Ride on!
I’d start with a mid size axe. How a small fire start kit. Use birch bark. Burns like crazy to start the fire. A small 6x8 tarp to lay on. Lastly a small cook system.
Not sure how old your cargo box is but was wandering if they updated to the metal hinges .. I was told they did .. if so that would be great as my lid falls off quite a bit
@@blaze_atv yeah that’s what I had and started falling off all the time .. I got a kimpex nomad I use now .. I bet you could use a long but and bolt and rig it up though .. love the size and style of it .. thanks for the reply buddy liking the vids
Thanks man! I have looked into the Tiger Tail, but that’s one thing I can’t justify quite yet hah. Have to do some repairs after last weekend so can’t put too much $$ into this anytime soon, hah.

All great ideas! Thank you! I can use the ratchet and sockets in my tool box for wheels if needed. Wouldn't be the first time!

Good thought! Thanks!
I know I’m 5years to late but a role of tp is a must never know
Very true!
Don’t leave home without TP, LOL.

@@blaze_atv same here , I was caught in the rain with no gear and became cold quick. I was cold and wet all day, learned my lesson though, LOL!!
@@michaeltillotson7044 oh yeah. Only takes one time!
Nice! Well thought out, i've been meaning put together my own little kit. Nice tip about the gloves, I hadn't considered that but in the winter months that will be nice.
Thanks! It always helps to have what you need as opposed to getting stranded!
@@blaze_atv i've already had to deal with a few of my buddies breaking down on the trail so I totally agree. It pays to be prepared
@@benjirides218 hah! I can honestly say I’ve used it much more for other machines than my own. Preventive maintenance pays off!
Yup, you look prepared! Much of that I always have in my quad at all times in my front storage. Maybe much less towels though? Lol.

@blaze_atv what trunk is that
@greenhood116 It’s the Yamaha factory rear cargo box.
I’d start with a mid size axe. How a small fire start kit. Use birch bark. Burns like crazy to start the fire. A small 6x8 tarp to lay on. Lastly a small cook system.
Thanks Jayone! All good suggestions! Thanks for watching!
Some would say thats not enough others would say thats to much. Personally i like to have extra and be prepared then nothing and screwed.
100% agree.
I did a vide several years ago it did not go well so i pulled it. I hope yours goes well and your channel
Thanks! Appreciate that!
TOILET PAPER!!
Small axe and saw
Thanks!
What ATV storage box is that in your video?
It’s the Yamaha storage box.
Don't forget Toilet paper!
What make is the storage box that is that on the rear of your machine.
It’s the Yamaha box
What size is that Pro Stormer tool kit? I went on Amazon and got the 210 piece but it’s too large to fit in the cargo box
I got the 148 piece kit.
Not sure how old your cargo box is but was wandering if they updated to the metal hinges .. I was told they did .. if so that would be great as my lid falls off quite a bit
I bought mine in October 2021. It is the plastic hinges, which are NOT wearing well. Ton of play at this point and has fallen off once.
@@blaze_atv yeah that’s what I had and started falling off all the time .. I got a kimpex nomad I use now .. I bet you could use a long but and bolt and rig it up though .. love the size and style of it .. thanks for the reply buddy liking the vids
Thanks man!
Yeah, I may try to rig it up here soon as I love the sleek look. Though, a backseat may come in use in the future.
@@blaze_atv lol I use the back seat for my dog lol he loves it
Haha fantastic!
How about bear spray
Haven’t run into a bear out there yet but would be good to have. Can always reach to my hip if things go real south!
Add a knife and maybe a folding saw.
Always carry a knife on my person and have added a folding saw since posting this. Thanks!!
What box's is that
It"s the Yamaha factory rear box.
What kind of 2 way audio do you use ?
Fodsports FX4 from Amazon. Fairly inexpensive and they work really well!
No condoms?
Haha!
Awesome, dude. You look at the KFI Tiger Tail yet? HIGHly recommend it! Lol. They have been good to us. Kickass company 🔥💨🍺🚀😁🤟🦾🙏💯🐻
Thanks man!
I have looked into the Tiger Tail, but that’s one thing I can’t justify quite yet hah.
Have to do some repairs after last weekend so can’t put too much $$ into this anytime soon, hah.
I'd LOVE to get a tigertail. Most of the time I wouldn't need it but there are a couple of places it would be very handy.
