The items , especially in the equipment section, are some real “must have’s”. Clearly this is not everything you could ever buy for your machine or take with you, but many of these items will get you out of a bind.
Of course if you have something you would like to add to this list (or make comments on) please submit those items to [email protected] with why you like it (or don’t) and a link to how to buy it and from where.

NAVIGATION & COMMUNICATION
Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
Tablet technology changes all the time. What you want in a tablet used for Navigation is expandable memory, GPS capabilities and a compass. Just because the tablet has GPS capabilities doesn’t mean it has a compass. You can still use it just with GPS but you won’t as easily be able to tell which direction you are traveling on the map while stationary. Both of these tablets have GPS and a compass. Please research carefully. Typically, Costco has the best deal but do your research.
Don’t forget to get a case that will protect your tablet out on the trail.
The Tab A S7 lite 2021 version is smaller with a 8.7 inch screen vs the 10.1 screen but works very well. Just get a case that works for you keeping in mind none of these tablets are waterproof.
NOTE: you should pick up a large 100 to 200 GB SD card for the large data files (maps) that you’ll need to download as the internal memory is not nearly large enough.
GPS App
This application/software works well on the Samsung Galaxy on this page.
Download from here: Samsung store
Always a good idea to have these map books on your machine:
Using these map books with your GPS is really cool. See the video (thank you Darrel McCracken for showing us this): https://vimeo.com/160899472
You will need a pair of dividers to do the map work in the Idaho / Oregon map books.
You will need a ruler that is long enough to go across the Idaho/Oregon map book(s) . This will do it.
Baofeng BF-F8HP VHF/UHF 8 Watt Radio
Note: a really good price on this (price changes from time to time) is about $45 to $65.
Additionally, you will need to “program” this radio to work with our club radios, but you do get better range typically on this radio vs the Family, lower wattage radios. Further, you can get your HAM radio license and use this with the repeater networks for ranges over 100 miles!
SOFT GOODS
Custom Calendar with images from our members:
Tee Shirt with ATV jumping:
Boise Club ATV/UTV Logo Shirt:
This link will take you to “Teezers” Tee Shirts (in Meridian) where they have built a special club store for our club. We have worked out a deal for them to print with a quantity as low as 4 shirts! They will notify us. It will take them about 1 to 2 weeks to get the order(s) ready. Additionally, you’ll be paying directly from their store. You can also include your name on the shirt. This is the store we will use from now on as they are a local store and have worked extremely well with us. Before ordering understand Teezers needs to have 4 shirts ordered before they will print if you want 2 and no one else has ordered then they won’t print yours until they get an order for another 2 or more shirts from someone else. Update 8/17/23, the club store Teezers built will only be open 2 times a year. March and August they will open the store for 30 days for orders to be placed. Same rules apply as before they need to have at least 4 orders before they will print. There is not enough interest to keep the store active 12 months a year.
