Philip christensen great content how about a video on what tools should be carried on a boat while on the water
0:06
I run a hughes 18. So weight is important, but so is getting back to the hill
0:10
I don't have to carry as much as some because i'm generally not more
0:15
Than a few miles from some form of safety So my box isn't going to be as loaded as someone running 50 miles who can also handle more weight
0:23
So basic tools for common issues and what are some good combo or multi-purpose tools that can accomplish multiple tasks
0:30
We all know everything is a hammer so I can do with that. Um, i'm gonna say that you want to have
0:38
a simple socket set usually like I would say a metric set over a standard set because
0:45
Metrics going to fit a lot more stuff on the boat. I'm going to say a leatherman super tool 300
0:51
That thing does so much you're going to want to have some zip ties I would also say
0:56
Um some sort of like a wire brush so you can clean stuff like if you got a bad
1:01
Electrical connection or something like that. You can kind of clean it off and put it back together tighten it down
1:07
That's that's actually probably going to cover most of what you need Honestly, I don't think having a leatherman having a wire brush having a simple socket set that's got metric and then
1:18
Probably maybe a vice a set of vice grips to clamp something down
1:23
Honestly, I think that for that those tools there because you're going to have some of your other stuff on there
1:28
You're going to have some fishing line on the boat You know, most people keep some lead weight on the boat
1:34
You got dock lines on the boat keeping some fenders on the boat. Um, and then your safety equipment
1:41
Honestly, I think that that's going to be all that you're going to need to carry for the most common issues
1:45
Obviously we can get way more in depth and go, you know
1:50
Trying to cover anything that could possibly happen while on the boat
1:54
but with those simple tools like a leatherman and a wire brush and stuff like that you can
1:59
You can pretty much kind of diagnose everything vice grips. You can clamp something together if it breaks zip ties
2:05
You can hook stuff up I'm i'm going to go with that
2:09
Being the the best basic set so that way you won't need a bunch of other stuff
2:13
Like if you're going way offshore and you're going on multiple, you know different
2:18
Distances maybe even having like a jump pack on the boat, you know some sort of a an extra power source
2:26
but that's going to be probably What i'm going to say is the best thing
2:31
Outside of like first aid stuff being stuff to make, you know a lighter some matches something make you know
2:37
Stuff like that for whatever reason of the things that you can need
2:41
