    I recommend running a strip of battery powered LED lights around the lid of the case. I do it with all of my protector cases. Makes it easy to identify contents when your using it backstage or outdoors at night. Also 100% effective at giving everyone else case envy.

    $8 Costco bin with the yellow top. I use two for all our camping equipment that will fit inside. I have a family of 5 and it works for us. They stack and have slits perfect for ratchets. Ratcheted down next to the cab and my dog beds in front. 🤙

    Milwaukee Packouts. Infinitely adjustable to what you need, they have a cooler and a radio option as well. The drawers make it so you can access almost everything readily. Perfect for this type of solution.

    the plano sportsman trunk in all the sizes they have available has worked for me for years.
    they are designed to be stacked when they are the same size. I have straped them stacked to my load bars or my tail hitch rack.
    two of the 54 qts with two coleman steel belted coolers is good enough for a long weekend to hold all the cooking and food needed on a long weekend.
    plus I can easily compartmentalize with steel ammo cans. I can fit 3 - 50 cal or 4 of the 30 cal in the 54 qt. and it still leaves room to place a 2 burner stove and a 2 - lb propane tank. enough for cooking in that one long weekend. the second 54 qt is to hold the dry goods (chips, bread, cookies...)

    When you said "all your stuff in one box" all i could think of was Backpacking. But i really do like this plan. It is along the lines of the chuckboxes we would make when i was in scouts. I do most of mine in Rubbermaid bins with clear sides so we can find things. Admittedly I have too much junk and use a few tubs but when i have it sorted things are easy to just go.

    Always love your videos brother and I have plenty of Pelican cases that I use. I worked in construction management for 5 years and got shipped all over the place about every 9-12 months. Hating both cardboard boxes and moving for obvious reasons, I went kinda nuts and snagged about 15 (no shit) Plano Sportsmans wheeled trunks for $14/per at Academy Sports when they were running some specials. I think the model is discontinued now but these served me extremely well - especially considering the cost. I even put bedliner on the outside of a few of them, as an experiment, to strengthen them up and it actually worked. Put cheap weatherstripping round the inside edge of the lid and they've stayed watertight on thousands of miles on the interstate in the back of the truck where they nest together and strap down easily. wanted to play with Molle panels on inside and outside but that's a project for another day. I didn't and don't expect them to last forever but I've only ever lost 1 to failure that was my fault - it was full of MRE's and I dropped it hard on a corner and the corner cracked. No fault of the trunk ;)
    ...Having given praise to the cheap Plano boxes that served their purpose well, I put my expensive kit (reloading, shooters, comms, ammo, tech) in big Pelican rollers that better protects them. I still put bulky stuff bedding, lanterns, chairs, etc - in the Plano trunks.
    Have a Plano trunk against the front of the truck bed that has a pro eagle jack, chains, straps, bungees, tarp, compressor, battery jumper, recovery, tools, jetboil, MRE's, etc held in place by a bed divider under a Mountain Top retractable cover. This setup works well for now.
    Another good option that others have mentioned is the big construction/tool boxes but they can be so big, once they're full, can be super heavy to move around.
    Love to see you covering more diverse content. I agree - I wouldn't watch if you were doing the same thing you were a few years ago. Good shit. keep it coming.

    My only suggestion is to keep Any Consumables in one place\bag\box - its very easy to Assume things like Spices, dry Drink Mixes, even Lighters are "good" until a few trips down the line and you find your out or the items has Degraded. Keep All consumables segregated, and every trip bring it in evaluate and restock... or atleast check it on a schedule like first aid kits. I set a Calendar reminder ever 3 months to Check the Charge on my Battery Jumper and First Aid kit in my car, could do the same with Consumables in a Tote like that.

    All of your reviews/videos included only expensive high end gear. I generally prefer to watch reviews that offer some median priced equipment in conjunction with the high end.
    Then I came across one of your videos where you quite honestly said “I prefer high end equipment, I just believe it’s better”. You sold me on that honesty and genuineness.
    At any rate, I’d love to see a video from you about truck bed storage systems like ‘Decked’.

      @zachgregory1289 that was the other red flag. Almost every podcast I listen to or RUclips channel I watch advertises AG1 or Raycon earbuds 🤣. Usually both.

    That's only if you're single. My girlfriend is not impressed with this one. For single people only. but great still like one backpack 🎒 with most 90% because I can't get my fishing 🎣 stuff and I need a seat my back no good.

    Everything this guy promotes is expensive as hell! He doesn’t care though, cause he gets it all for free

      I use and show the use of plenty of cheap crap, medium gear, and medium high end gear. Very rarely do I show/use/own what most people would consider high to very high end gear though. Earlier days of my channel I actually use to show and use the absolute highest end gear, but I’ve backed it off a bit, for you.

      News flash, good stuff is expensive. Buy once cry once is a thing for a reason. He actually says that in the video.

      @@westvirginiaminer3046 News flash, NOT always true. So you think that if it's expensive then it has to be good... That's laughable! I've bought brand name stuff and still ended up being crap. It's the name you're paying for! I know cause I'm old enough to know better.
