Even the best multi tool can't always save you. To be ultra prepared, just carry a spare bike.

Carry two for good measure! 😂

I always take a spare tube, had the same one in my pack for probably 3 years without using it. At Cannock Chase I came across a chap with a puncture, no repair kit or spare tube so I gave him mine, helped him change it and sent him merrily on his way. Got myself a pinch flat on son of a chain slapper and had to walk back to my van.

That sucks man.

A few things I've learnt are: - A bottle in a backpack can injure your back if you fall bad. A guy I know broke his back and is now in a wheelchair because of it. - Multi tools seem ok but I found the tiny length of the hex keys sometimes won't reach certain bolts properly, and if you try it can lead to destroying the head of the bolt. I took the small chain tool off mine and the torx bit, and just use a set of hex keys that are individual and longer.

I just bought some Montane softflasks (the largest they sell is 500ml) because I was sick of the foul tasting bladder and didn't want to land on a hard bottle. The Montane softflasks have no inherent taste. Maybe others do also. /// Update! : the newly received Montane softflasks do have a slight taste, similar to that of my Camelbak bladder but less intense. The taste is masked by a flavoured hydration tab and only noticeable with plain water. Still not ideal, but okay.

The production quality just gets better and better. Thanks Neil!

Great video. I have been asked this question from youtubers on my channel. Most important...some snack to keep you from bonking...There are a ton of really cool mountain bikers who check on stopped riders, but it is best to be self-sufficient if possible...Thank you for being a good community

I did like your duct tape rescue video...now I make sure I have duct tape with me on every ride

After a hard crash I‘ll put a first aid kit in my backpack.

I would also recommend to take a smartphone (for emergency and navigation), an ID card and a banknote of a value that would allow us to buy essential stuff to get home - like water, food or to hire a ride. I usually have ID and a banknote inside of my smartphone cover so that it does not take additional space.

Love to see you riding sir. This channel content is helpfull. Hoping to have an enduro bike like yours. Godspeed

Thank you , for all of the advice !

One very important tool that Neil forgot is a decent small torch. Unless you can fix a puncture or patch yourself up in the dark when you get stuck out after sunset or have to do it under dense tree cover when the sun doesn't shine bright enough.

Thanks for the tips love your video’s

Every ride I go on outside of the neighborhood include my phone, water (bottle in a cage and/or a camelback depending on ride length), multi tool, spare tube, patch kit, tire levers, hand pump, pressure gauge, electrical tape, and a tiny first aid kit (band aids, gauze, medical tape, a tick tool, chapstick, and antibiotic cream). Maybe an energy bar or two if it’s an hour or longer, and electrolytes in the summer. Everything but the camelback fits either on the bike frame or in pouches on the bike.

Love Eastridge!!!! Old Dogs a personal favourite

Phones can definitely help you out of a jam. Great video Neil! Keep strong GMBN!!

Tip (because I wished I had thought about it before), take mini-pliers (like in a keychain-multitool), last week my tubeless mtb-tire punctured and the hole was to big for a plug (I tried), my next plan was to use an innertube but I couldn't get the valve of by hand, I had to ride home on a flat tire! Next time I take a Leatherman Style PS (or something like that) so I can at least use that to get the valve of! So in my essentials: Pump, Multitool, innertube, plugs, money, mini-pliers, a bit of sealant and tire levers.

I recently opened such a bag for myself and realized how cool it is when the back is not wet from the backpack)

I have a edc multi tool and it helps me in every situation and I have a small one up pump with a co2 cartridge inside

Love these guys almost got 1k cause of these guys!

Thanks m8!

😅 I go for extra more preparation: - Tools to tighten up some bolts on the bike. - two bottles on the bike (total 1.25 L) - Tube repairkit. - 2 spare tubes - 1 pomp on the side of the bottlecage - 1 spare bikechain - Nordic pocket saw - phone + wallet - 1 tang (very helpful is somecases) - food (meat/bread/fruit/candybar) - a map of the local region - bag of tierips - little emergency kit

Love you guys

I keep a tube strapped to my down tube now. Because I kept forgetting one in my bag 🤣

asked my LBS what to take on a ride ... matches exactly what is in this video :)

Haha neils and Blake are dope. Neil always has good vibes

RE: Punctures, stop faffing about! Rip the inner tube out, and stuff the tyre with grass, it'll get you home.

been there. Drier the better. don't b afraid to stop and repack. even well packed straw crushes down. often you can use a small zip tie either side of a puncture and at worse, cut it at the hole, fold the ends and zip tie, you'll have a bump but it can be better than grass.

#gmbn hey gmbn you need to check out winter hill and rivington pike near bolton, winter hill decent to Belmont is classed as an extreme route and I would love to see you tackle it as there are many fans of yours in Belmont village.

Bruh bought one of the gmbn jerseys and it was way to big i am 10 and my dad is 45 and it fits him really annoyed because i waited 2 months for it because of corona virus and then dosent fit me, i recommend buying because it is so awesome looking a feels good but just be careful on what size you get if you are a kid

Garmin 530... it’s connected to your phone and senses when your bike crashes.. it then textes predefined contacts with your coordinates .... I mountain bike alone mostly so it provides my wife piece of mind if something were to happen.

Dang I knew we should have put out our essentials video last week haha. O well I guess we have no choice now we already filmed it. Thanks a lot guys lol. Nice video.

Number 1 tip for 1st aid kit. Dont bring anything you dont know how to use. Then its. Antiseptic wipes, 2 medium wound dressings ,2 bandages disposable gloves foil blanket. Will cover most things the average person can deal with, Anything else should be left for professionals, in which case get as much info as possible and take notes , like if the person was knocked out , pains in chest ect.

For £20, if you don’t have a multi tool, go for it. Otherwise, a new KMC chain is a good idea, and buy some super cheap missing link things on eBay. They make fixing your chain easy. Otherwise, going tubeless or buying some spare tubes/patches and a pump is a good idea. Also, a bottle cage and a bottle is great for longer rides. Hope that helped!
