“ I go out to thrive, not to play some self inflicted version of survivor” couldn’t have said it any better! Totally agree!

You are right about the 12v refrigerator. I have been camping for years and dealing with ice. I bought a 12v refrigerator last year. Total game changer.

The piece of gear that I can't go camping without is a small garden spray bottle. The specific one I use is a 51oz project source from Lowes. Any big box store has their version. It's just a few bucks and works perfect for washing up, doing dishes. If you dial the mist just right it works well and one fill lasts a couple days.

The radio setup is legendary. Love how it can be disconnected and stored out of the way. Amazing!

I watch and enjoy all type of camping, off-roading, hiking… I love how each has their their own ‘style’. Over-landing has totally embraced tech and creature comforts - I think it’s great. Power to ya.

Thanks for posting a list of everything, it makes it so much easier to look at everything in detail!

Matt I just wanted you to know… 10 seconds into the video, I had to pause, grab some bourbon whiskey, and lay down comfortably on the couch, because I could tell this was going to be an enjoyable video.

This was a good list. I've been overlanding for 2 years now and we experiment with a bunch of stuff, but the stuff on this list is pretty close to what I've settled on also.

Thank you!. I decided that since I can't get an overlanding rig until next year that I would be buying some equipment that is not vehicle dependant so when I do get my car I can get overlanding. This answered basically everything I have not figured out what to get. Thank you! I will be getting a moon awning for sure!!

I need lots of those Glamping accessories! Great Video. Stephen and I used your discount code and purchased our tickets for the show.
Keep up the great videos and looking forward to seeing the Kentucky trip.

Finally a channel with no nonsense and just practical advice. Thank you 👏

12v fridge is def a game changer. Night and day difference.

[marydesousa]

Great ideas! I also have the Coleman oven, and I love mine too! I was having a hard time controlling the temp and burning the bottom of my baked goods. I saw another vid where they used a pizza stone to diffuse the temperature - I tried it and it works like a charm! I can even get it to fit inside the oven when it is collapsed. Put the stone on the wire rack in the oven when it’s heating up and put your tray or muffin tin right on top - brilliant! No more burnt bottom on the cinnamon buns! The oven is completely frivolous, but I love it! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

[whitewolfoverland]

All great items on that list (which I'm sure could have been much longer). A lot of people think you need all of it to get started but I feel anyone can start with what they have and improve on it as they go and figure out just what suits them and their style.

I run a smaller iceco 20 fridge off a Ecoflow pro off a solar panel on my rack and it will run for weeks at a time. Check the charge rates on your solar generators, huge differences. Jackery takes forever to charge. Thank you for your content.

[scottmalcum]

I like playing survivor a little more but the fridge is really really nice. Im looking at a tent now that mounts but after seeing the versatility of a packed awning, it might be worth the little bit of space it takes up stowed away. For hot water im going simpler and making a pvc tank for the roof rack and painting it black. Air line can connect to tank and hose attachment will be at rear of vehicle. Pressurized and warmed by the sun. My first thought is for the kids when they get to the jeep from the beach and theyre all sandy lol

[deanlo]

All your items are great. One guy in the comments posted about a battery chainsaw (I use my Milwaukee M12 chainsaw) which is a great addition to the list, but my addition to the list would definitely have to be a portable toilet. I don't really care if it's a chemical cassette toilet or a bucket with a seat, but a toilet completely changes camping for me, along with everything else on the list.

[shirtsoffforkiprusof]

Love the suggestions. I like when I see people break the socially accepted 'formula' to an overland build to suit their own needs. That's a neat awning. Here in Canada we have a ton of bugs as you head north or into the lakeland, so we love our popup gazebo. We run a Gazelle tent and a Gazelle gazebo. Works well for our type of overlanding which is setting up basecamp, then I can flyfish early in the morning without waking up my wife to breakup camp, and we can explore the area during the day. The gazelle combo combined ran a lot cheaper than the accepted awning/RTT combo and we can move it between vehicles.

I like that you previewed them rather than just show them packaged up.

[Michaelleger]

we have been camping with the folding oven since I was a kid! always on the lookout for a used one!!! So cool to see you have one also! not a lot of folks know about them!
