What should every mobile DJ keep in their vehicle? Tuesday Night #DJNTV Chill Room

In this episode, Brian S Redd and the crew share the small tools, emergency supplies, backup items, and everyday essentials that have saved them at gigs—and sometimes helped save the event itself. The conversation starts with something as simple as a compact first-aid kit and quickly expands into the idea of being prepared without hauling an entire hardware store to every event. The DJs discuss carrying a change of clothes, basic medications and personal-care items, rain ponchos, trash bags for emergency equipment protection, weather-resistant storage, snacks, bungee cords, extra cables and extension cords. A basic toolkit can also make a huge difference. Vice grips, screwdrivers, scissors, a small hammer and other simple tools can handle unexpected equipment repairs or solve problems around a venue. The discussion includes real-world examples where having the right tool turned a DJ into the person who could solve a problem when nobody else could. Buddy Mueller also shares what goes into his event "jump bag," including a first-aid kit, Tide pens, safety pins, bobby pins, a sewing kit and super glue. These aren't necessarily DJ tools, but they can help a client, wedding party member or even the DJ handle an unexpected problem without disrupting the event. The bigger lesson is self-sufficiency. Experienced DJs learn from those moments when they say, "I wish I would have brought that." Preparation means fewer emergencies, less dependence on other vendors and a better chance of keeping the event running smoothly. As the crew points out, sometimes there's no app that can solve the problem—you simply need to have the bandage, Sharpie, jumper cables, extension cord or tool when you need it. What is the one unusual item you ALWAYS carry to your gigs because experience taught you never to leave home without it? #DJNTV #MobileDJ #DJTips #WeddingDJ #DJBusiness #EventDJ #DJGear http://www.djeventplanner.com http://www.madebydjs.com http://www.djrequests.com http://www.djntv.com/amazon
