I shop at Tractor Supply all of the time, horses and chickens, and I buy a lot from them . . . Tow straps, shackles, tools, etc. A great store with a lot of truck edc gear!
Much respect on including the "older school" style products on your list. I agree. Sometimes it's tough to beat the tried and true camping gear... 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks dude I like watching this videos to see everybody's diff point of view on gear and preparedness and get some better ideas on my camping/edc 4Runner gear!!!!!
Yeah so far in the pursuit of making these videos I’ve found some great stuff at these retail locations. Either I hadn’t looked close enough before or companies are starting to understand the demand. There’s some great expensive gear out there but I’m in the camp that not everything needs to be expensive.
for a headlamp I highly recommend getting one with a red light option.. it allows you to see what you are doing without blinding everyone else, or taking away their "night vision". me being night blind I always have a flashlight on me. (O-light mini, on my keyring), and a pile of small flashlights in my truck. cant go wrong with COAST flashlights, they take a beating, and keep working..
I had a truck bed tent when I had a 07 Frontier. It was a pain to put up and take back down. I used it once and was done with it. Been using a instant Core pop tent since and couldn't be happier with it.
Yeah I think it looks cool and in theory it’s a pretty cool concept but it looks like it takes for ever to pop up and to take down. I’ve heard some people say they love theirs so I figured I’d mention it.
Sorry I'm late on the replies... I used have a jeep and went out and spent way more money than I needed to on Name Brand Hi-end gear. Well ruby got a little long in the tooth like her owner. So now have a similar rig to yours, I love it. I found your channel as I was looking to do a budget build the time without laying tons of cash. Even if it fails in a few years I'm still ahead of the game. chances are I'll be buying a new improved version which is even better? Anyway, loving the budget gear series Mate. Great job.
I live Jeeps and maybe one day would buy one for strictly rock crawling but at this point in my life the 4Runner being a jack of all trades and master of none is fine with me. I love mixing budget in with the expensive stuff every once in a while. It’s nice to share the budget stuff with people as I’m sure a lot of other channels can get you the reviews on the expensive stuff.
But yeah there’s no reason to spend a ton of money on high end gear unless they are the only ones that make it. Kinda how I ended up with the GFC, now there’s tons of different cheaper clones.
Beware that farm jack, pure trash. I used it once and the hook broke straight down the middle. And tractor supply was a pain to deal with for the return. Had to call the regional manager. Just go hi lift they’re worth the money
Jesus, that’s my nightmare. I’m terrified of them. I just got one recently after tons of research and I’m pretty happy with it but it’s one of those things where I almost recommend everyone spend the money and get a good one.
For the flashlights: stay far away from anything that has the CREE name in it! I’ve had quite a few different CREE products, from home lighting to flashlights and every single one has failed early. The price point is good, but the quality is absolute zero, in my experience
I’ve had pretty good experience with them but I also only use products for maybe a few months to test for the channel. CREE is something I have typically seen on cheaper products so I trust you on that. Thanks for the heads up.
Word of caution on the “550” cord, it’s not. Period Genuine 550 cord has a weight rating of … wait for it… an actual 550 lbs! Not the dismal 50 lbs of this fake stuff. Spend a couple dollars more and get some cord that has a usable load capacity
I still for the life of me can't figure out the premise of the rooftop tent....it seems like an overpriced chindogu device that turned something simple and straightforward into a ridiculously costly and unnecessarily complicated thing...almost like its only purpose is that it fulfills a masturbatory impulse for gear dorks.
Thanks everyone for stopping by and checking this out! I’ll have some more of these coming out soon.
Also shout out @trshvgn_overland on the RTT review.
Loving these especially living in a smaller town and not even thinking of using these stores I don’t have in my area.
17" Blackstone griddle was a game changer for me the versatility can cook just about anything...it's great even doubles as it's own plate ...
Yeah I really like mine. I haven’t been using it as much as I try some new stuff for the channel but so far I’ve been way happier with the blackstone.

Yeah back where I came from there were so many around. Loved going but now it’s such a long like 45 minute drive to my closest one. Kinda sad.
Much respect on including the "older school" style products on your list. I agree. Sometimes it's tough to beat the tried and true camping gear... 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I want to try to mix it up in my camping videos and do both the old school way and the new school way as well.
Showing people the old school stuff I sometimes talk about isn’t as bad as they think.

I love the red light setting on my headlamp. Not only is it better for everyone else it’s supposedly better if you’re around mosquitoes.
I have had bad eggs with all 3 coast lights I ever bought. Now I just go Olight or Nebo.

Is the instant core pop up a ground tent?
@@OXFOOT yes it is.
I dig this series man! Keep it up 🤙
I’ve got so many more in the works. I’m hoping to have one of these at least once a month, maybe more.
Thanks, I’m enjoying this series.
I’m starting the Napa one now but I think Amazon is after that.
The most investigative shopper I know!
Imma find them deals

It's not much more to buy a genuine Hi-Lift. The quality is much better and there are many attachments available.

Check out the 8'x8' awning for $100 from NAPA.
Brother I’m already on that one! I’ve been talking with their corporate about stuff. The maxitrac stuff they sell is solid!
I bought one of them and I love it so far.
Yeah I’ve tried a few things of theirs so far and liked them. What vehicle are you running yours on? Think it’s too long?
@@OXFOOT 2017 Tacoma with a custom rack that's about 8' long.

Thanks for the clarification!
You should go to Murdoch’s I work there and they have amazing stuff :)!!!
I had to look it up and I didn’t really know about it let alone there’s one really close to me. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
You know that tent at the beginning is my buddy from iowa 🤣
That’s funny I just searched RUclips for that tent, found him, messaged him and asked if I could use his footage. So random.
Please test the flashlights if you haven't already I'm very curious!
I’ll have to swing by and maybe I can do a RUclips short on them or just report back. Sorry I’ve been busy lately.
I have that tent, it is not great.
Lol. I’ve heard mixed reviews. Mostly good but you and another guy didn’t like it.
Do you have any of the links to any of the things that you're promoting on here?
If I can get some time I can add them in the description. Is there a specific one or ones you were looking at? I can get you the links.
You are using east Anglian bushcraft music...
Whats East Anglian bushcraft music? It's youtube free music, lmao.
I looked up east Anglican bushcraft, never seen the channel before. How am I using his music? We both use music from youtube.

It should be that or it is a nice middle ground between a ground tent and camper so it gives some benefits of having a camper but much much cheaper.
Truck tents are awful! Camping tent for the win
I’ve done ground tents, back packing tents, hammocks and rooftop tents I much prefer roof top tents but everyone likes what they like so I get it.
2000
What’s this in reference to?
4000 Dollars yes way too much.
What is?
@@OXFOOT The tent
If you have a propane camp fire. Sell all your camping shit and go back to whatever city you live in. That’s infuriating.
Lol I live in a state with constant fire bans and propane fire pits are allowed during bans… why is that infuriating?
Love my propane camp fire
Kamp rite tent cot looks like its made for a 5 year old. At 6'6" i would need at least 3 of them linked together
Thumbs up and saved my friend thanks
