What a cool coincidence, I just listened to a podcast by Remi Warren called "Cutting the Distance" and the subject or topic was what to bring in your hunting rig. He had everything that Brady shown in this video and a few things more. He has a Deckd system to keep it more organized like some others do, but it isn't necessary and many people can't afford the additional $1000 to their rig when they will use that money for tags. I am hoping in a year or two I will have a truck of my own to go on these Western Big Game trips along with whatever I need it for here back east in West Virginia, etc... Thanks for sharing once again Brady and GoHunt.

An Aussie named Ronny Dahl recommend "soft shackles" for attaching tow straps, to avoid creating harmful if not deadly projectiles if you tow strap or winch cable (he also recommend non-steel) breaks under high tension.

GREAT VIDEO! Hunting out of our trucks is the poor-man's way of hunting, ... but it works! I took my rig one step further. I purchased a single axle medium size cargo trailer for all my hunting and camping gear. I turned my pickup bed into a comfortable sleeping quarters. The trailer rides great behind my pickup and goes everywhere my pickup goes, off-road and highway travel. When its time to go hunting, I just hook on and go. My rig works great for my style of hunting elk, mule deer and whitetail deer. I am an aging DIY, solo rifle hunter. My favorite way of hunting is combining spot & stock with ground blind hunting. I make use of a game cart for hauling out game meat. Using my pickup bed cover, I don't have to sweat the weather or critters. Personally, once you've worked out all the details, hunting from your pickup is the only way to go!

Add: Full size first aid kit, fire extinguisher. Both can be handy for yourself, your buddies, and people you may encounter on your travels.

Have you ever heard of a transformer sling they are crazy lite and amazing strong good for around trees or bumpers

Compact Portable air compressor is a good idea as well to go along with the tire plug kit.

One that will inflate a truck tire (if that's what you drive) in less than ½ hour. 😉

Any suggestions. In the market for a jump starter w compressor ​@@tudyk21

And the decked system to store and organize all that stuff

Snatch straps are a must also Dyneema shackles work as good if not better than steel and won’t take your head off if ropes breaks. Chains for snow if snow is under 2ft deep if deeper snow air down tires to ride on top of snow works better 10-15psi if not beaded rims . For mud chains only work if mud is not deep otherwise chains dig you into mud deeper best to air down. Carry a good air compressor to air up when back to hard ball. And track Mats . Great video 👊🏻

Keep em coming Brady !!👊🏻👊🏻

We would also take a 2x4 but would make rips half way across it about 6 inches a part just wide enough to set the tire chains in. To make it a bit easier to put on in the snow and mud... just a thought

I also add a hand wash station. It works well in the warmer months. I just use two old 1 gallon size laundry detergent jugs (the kind with the spout). Clean them out and fill one up with water and one up with soapy water, bungee cord them in and you have a great way to wash hands after your pack out, wash tools/knives or whatever…. Works great

From my misfortunes in the NM Wilderness...add an Air compressor, tire plugs and TWO spare tires. Oh, and for the biggest emergencies, Toilet Paper!

Whatever happened to using your fingers

A good alternative to tow straps are kinetic ropes. They have some stretch in them and allow lighter vehicles to pull out larger ones.

That truck needs a pack rat or a decked system to be better organized.

6:31 Get a brown towel for wiping off dirt.😉🤣

Recovery traction boards would be another nice addition.

Those would definitely be a great addition! Brady hopes to add a few more once he gets a topper on his truck to keep things a bit more organized.

Check out the TruckClaws II system and its video reviews. I got a set for my solo Idaho hunt this year but fortunately didn't need to use them. I'm more comfortable with what they provide, especially with the use of their extender bars, than what the traction boards offer.

OK we’re hunting together, you will be the support vehicle, because there’s no more room for my stuff, Hah Hah Hah heading out to Kansas and the eastern plains, looks like winter will be there by November, thanks for the tips

Get yourself a sturdy cargo box to store all that stuff

And the top must have is.....Baby wipes and don't keep them in the cooler..... learned that the had way !!!!

Man.. im looking to get into hunting, struggling to find a truck. Now i gotta get all these??

Hey Brady, you mentioned the mice issue. The same thing happened to me this year. They actually chewed through a hose and somehow I had a tube from a siphon that fit perfectly to fix it. Little things for electrical issues from mice was something I added recently. Any thoughts on how to keep the mice out?

what brand/size of chains are u using? My 04 avalanche owners manual says "no chains". I have cables, but really want to know if chains will fit...curious to know if your running chains front and back, and did you run into any clearnance issues? Really curoius about this one!!

Try using tire sock light weight,very easy to put on, and to pack I leave mine under the driver seat for one pack and same for passenger side

yewww

Not the 2x4

30 inches long ?🤔

No shame being prepared. It’s either you have kids that don’t bring anything and or buddies that just show up very unprepared

That crappy tool box made me feel sick

Having that stuff just bouncing around in your bed is the wrong answer, Get a decked storage box or something.
