Thank you for this. A lot of content creators in the overlanding space come out of the gate with all the latest and greatest gear on display, which can give the impression that it is, exclusively, a pastime of the independently wealthy and/or deeply indebted. My family has gained SO much insight and inspiration from your channel, and appreciate having the opportunity to witness the slow, deliberate evolution of your family’s overlanding vehicles and gear collection. Cheers - and please, keep up the excellent work! 🍻
I'm just getting into overlanding... I've camped at local lakes and on hunting trips all my life, but man am I learning this is a totally different ball game! I've loved your channel as a resource. Thank you for the great and helpful content. You're awesome!
There are 4 of us and usually a dog, being minimalist is the only way we can do it and fit! But selling our 30ft camper and going to overlanding style camping we still have to find some of the luxuries to keep life comfortable. That has been the balance issue...finding effective quality gear that will make life simple but not take up too much room! Great video, get well soon! Congrats on the decision to add Patreon
Lol, I was bored when the lockdown first started. I set up camp in my back yard. My neighbors loved me. Your heavy is still minimalist. I can get real crazy and take my Webber and blackstone sometimes. Great video. Stay safe.
Well curated selection of gear for each load out. I run white gas for lanterns and cooking but I like the little tank. There are very few places that fill tanks nearby instead choosing to do 20 pounder swaps unfortunately.
What works for the individual is what matters and you have a good setup for you and most people ! Mine is just a bit different but only because I camp a bit different but you asked, so I think it is a great setup especially to get started if someone wants to copy it or part of it and go get started and then tweak it as needed for their own use !!! Just my thought as you asked lol
Great video, just one little suggestion. Instead of cast iron skillets. Look into carbon steel skillets. They're lighter than cast iron. But cook the same. Difference being they will heat up and cool down a little quicker than cast iron. But retain heat the same. And they'll last a life time.
I will look at carbon steel also, but don't know if I could give up my John Wayne skillet and JW stove top Dutch oven. I like them better than Lodge. I also have the heavy Stanley set, but think I don't really need it in addition to the others. I have light weight Stanley for heating water or soup. My only complaint about cast iron is waiting for it to cool to put stuff away.
Sucks to be in quarantine. I'm there myself since Christmas. Starts to feel like groundhog's day after awhile. But at least you'll be good for the MOORE Expo. Hope to meet you there! Instead of the blue water jugs, we take the 4 or 5 gallon plastic carboys with a small battery pump for drinking and cooking.
Hang in there man. Hope you and the wife get through it nice and quick. Im all about the gear vids. So if you guys are stuck in quarantine for a while, I won't complain about gear vids
I believe you have most everything you need for coinvience in the great outdoors. I used to get go out roughing it,as the wife calls it, when we were younger. I have not talked her into doing it again YET. We did not have most of those coinvience items you have, but maybe in the near future. Hope you get and the wife get well soon!
Great video!! Hope you and your wife recover soon and get back on the trail. Do you perform all your jeep maintenance and lets have a run down of your tool list that you keep in your jeep.
Hate that your locked down but thanks because it is always neat to see someone's set up. I don't have a jet boil but it's one it's one of those things I have debated on buying.
That was enjoyable thank you. I'm sorry you got so bored but happy you gave a review of your gear. I definitely found some gear to research now. Thank you @OverlandAdventuress!!
If it’s like a weekend trip, i personally wouldn’t take half of that, for space, all you’d really need is water, heating, food and utensils, but good video i will be picking up a few things you suggested.
What a great video! Thank you so much. Incredibly helpful. So sorry to hear that you and your bride had Covid. Hope you have come through the other side.
First of all - we hope that you all are feeling well. I do have an observation... you have lots of time on your hands... sounds like your garage door opener need some lube. :) haha. Cool video. The Jet Boil one burner is awesome.. might need to get one of those. Keep up the great work and be well!
Highly recomend ep 360 work light they have it on amazon or local store costco carries them i dont know how to add a pix on here but look it up its a orage light dis is for all campers or game chager
Watch the popup mine flys up fast and well its fast a pain to put away. I use a camp kitchen from bass pro and extra folding table. Cast iron pan and Colman stove. I have way to much my husband says. But I manage to make it fit. No camper just regular tent. 3 sizes depending.
I'll be at MOORE. Come find me!! The light is this one. I love it!! www.ustgear.com/lighting/personal-safety-lights/slim-1100-led-emergency-light/20-12454.html#start=1
Great video! What are you driving? (it seems like a lot of gear). I was interested in the usable space and how you packed it with sleeping arrangements...
What is the fire ring you are using? Something I'll definitely need to add. Looks like you posted this awhile ago so I'm hoping you guys are better by now :)
Depends on how long the trip is. If a weekend it will last till I get home. If longer, I'll go to an RV dump station and dump it or you can even take it in a bathroom somewhere. lol. We have recently switched to a folding toilet with bags and are liking it much better than the Dometic and having to dump it.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I’ve tried it on just about everything I can think of. I’ve yet to find anything it’s not good on lol. We buy it in bulk on Amazon.

Awesome! Just get out and use what you have and figure out where you want to upgrade along the way.
A pretty good set up. Especially like how you can divide your gear for solo minimulist to glamping. Most importantly is, it works for you.
Very true! Thank you.

That is awesome! I did take a nap in my RTT once in the driveway. 😂 Thanks!!
Don't forget the bug spray to soak the perimeter of the camp area. It really helps , especially in tick and red ant infested areas
I have that same little folding table. Its the BEST THING EVER. I even use it around the house. They have them at bass pro.

Damn dude you’ve upgraded alot, just saw your truth about overlanding gear video from sep 2022 and you’ve got a whole new setup. Cheers 🎉
Finally a complete check list to get ready for adventure. Very inspiring!

Thanks. I haven't seen those.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Lodge makes a 8", 10" and a 12" preseasoned cs pans. And there reasonably priced.

I can't wait for MOORE. Come introduce yourself!!
Sorry to hear about your quarantine
This is perfect for me I'm currently working on a zj project so I joined the group camping and overlanding
That is awesome!
Hang in there man. Hope you and the wife get through it nice and quick. Im all about the gear vids. So if you guys are stuck in quarantine for a while, I won't complain about gear vids
LOL. Thank you!
Great video again. We love seeing how to get started
Thanks!!!

Thanks Max!! Everyone is feeling better and hopefully going to be past this very soon.
Great video!! Hope you and your wife recover soon and get back on the trail. Do you perform all your jeep maintenance and lets have a run down of your tool list that you keep in your jeep.
Thanks Max!! I do perform all my maintenance and repairs. I’ll do a video of that very soon!! Good idea.
Hate that your locked down but thanks because it is always neat to see someone's set up. I don't have a jet boil but it's one it's one of those things I have debated on buying.
They are expensive but worth it.
And super compact for what it is! That’s a definite bonus.
That was enjoyable thank you. I'm sorry you got so bored but happy you gave a review of your gear. I definitely found some gear to research now.

Glad to see you feeling better. Gear looks great
Thanks 👍
RUclips’s unskipable ads are making Rumble look REALLLY good
Hope you guys get to feeling better. Lots of good camping gear. Maybe we will run into you guys on the trails we try & go every weekend.
Thanks so much!! I hope we do run into each other soon!!
Looks like you got a new apparel and sticker company. That is good. Get well soon to both of you!
Yes! Thank you!
TP rolls, lantern, fishing poll, tackle box, bear spray, binocular, bug spray, sun tan lotion, map.
I didn’t see a canopy or something to sit under. Not a big deal but thought I would mention it we have a cheap one we use.
We have an awning on the camper and my wife has an awning on her Jeep. I do not have one on mine but my friends to so I sit under theirs. LOL
Great video , I see alot of overland builds that go over the payload this works
First of all - we hope that you all are feeling well. I do have an observation... you have lots of time on your hands... sounds like your garage door opener need some lube. :) haha. Cool video. The Jet Boil one burner is awesome.. might need to get one of those. Keep up the great work and be well!
You're not the first person to tell me that. LOL 😂😂😂
Wow, that is a whole lot of gear!!!
Informative. Thanks for sharing, and for your reasoning behind what you bring. Good stuff!
Actually enjoyed the conversation. Was disappointed by having to social distance. Didn't show much of the gear on my phone.lol
Highly recomend ep 360 work light they have it on amazon or local store costco carries them i dont know how to add a pix on here but look it up its a orage light dis is for all campers or game chager
Ep 360 led work light
Covid!! 😁 The great world scare. Had it too. Boring AF! Didn't feel anything... No reason you can't go outside if you're not around anyone. 👍
Yeah it would be different if my wife hadn't been hit hard by it. Otherwise I would be in the woods away from all the people. LOL
GREAT info, was wondering about cleaning a cast iron skillet in the back country, the way I cook I need a new pan for every meal
Enjoyed the video!! Hope you guys get better!! Looking forward to more videos! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!
Hope you’re feeling better!
Thanks we are much better.

Sounds like a great setup. I've seen those bass pro camp kitchens and they look really handy. It's all about what works for you!
Hope you get well soon!
We are all good now!
Really enjoy your videos about camp gear.
Thank you!! More coming.
Thank you, just getting into this
Oh and hope ya'll get better soon
Thanks!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures your welcome
Just found your channel. New sub from me. Keep the gear videos coming, I’m a gear head and appreciate it!
Thanks so much!! Will do!
hope you get better soon i understand that quarantine sucks lol
Thanks!!!!
Love it! I'm going to get one of those fire pits! Just subbed to your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
How do you like the Stanley cook set so far? We've had one for a few years and I've been impressed.
They are very high quality!! I love them.
What was the flat light that has the threaded base for a tripod? Hope to see you at MOORE.
I'll be at MOORE. Come find me!! The light is this one. I love it!! www.ustgear.com/lighting/personal-safety-lights/slim-1100-led-emergency-light/20-12454.html#start=1
You take way less then we do. Haha
Great breakdown. FYI, your Amazon link isn't a link.
thanks. What do you mean "isn't a link."?
Great video! What are you driving? (it seems like a lot of gear). I was interested in the usable space and how you packed it with sleeping arrangements...
When this video was made I had a JKU Wrangler. Everything fit when I laid the back seat down.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures Great layout. Very informative.
Great videos man. Keep it up I learned plenty. But I have to share my first thoughts. No guns? No defense weapons for you and tour family?
where did you get the 5lb propane tank? is there a place in northwest arkansas to buy one?
I got it off Amazon. The link is in the description. Someplace like Lowe’s or Home Depot may carry them.
Just subscribed. I do a more mild version of overlanding with a stock F150 in southern Missouri
Awesome! Thank you! Southern Missouri is on our list for 2021.
Maybe an inflatable Hot Tub would be nice too.
looks good!
There are definitely different ideas of minimalist.
Great videos. Thanks for all the info. I probably missed it, but if you are going minimalist and not bringing the Dometic toilet, what do you use?
A hole in the ground. lol
What is the fire ring you are using? Something I'll definitely need to add. Looks like you posted this awhile ago so I'm hoping you guys are better by now :)
It's a pop up pit by Fireside Outdoors
When do you dump the waste from the dometic? Been thinking of purchasing one, but not sure when or where to dump.
Depends on how long the trip is. If a weekend it will last till I get home. If longer, I'll go to an RV dump station and dump it or you can even take it in a bathroom somewhere. lol. We have recently switched to a folding toilet with bags and are liking it much better than the Dometic and having to dump it.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures oh cool! maybe that's the way to go.
Will the Coleman oven fit on single jet boil burner?
Where did you find your propane tank?
I love your videos. Nice nice!! 💪😣👊
I appreciate that!
Question
I'm not on Facebook so how can I keep up with your outings in the event I get the ZJ on the road
Follow us on Instagram.
Just right. 👍
Any video on the homemade under quilt?
Sorry I do not. It's just an old sleeping bag I sewed loops on. There are several videos on youtube for ideas.
Any major changes since this video?
Do you carry any med kit with you?
i've got a first aid kit that stays in the Jeep.
What about your recovery gear?
Recovery gear and tools live in the Jeep full time so I didn’t even think about them. Lol.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I thought it might give some of us some ideas of what we need. That's why I brought it up.
@@jk_wrangler13 I agree, it would be interesting to see his version of recovery gear compared to what I am currently carrying
Curious about your fire pit. What is it?
Campfire Defender Pop Up Pit. It's awesome.
Seems like a lot of stuff. Half what I take is for the dog--his water, bed, feeding station, food, etc, so not much room for mine.
the dog is important!
What do you use to power the fridge?
My Jeep battery and a Bluetti AC50s or EB150 for when I’m parked for more than a day.
Cavender's... An essential.
Always!!! Is there anything its not good on? Beef, Pork, Chicken, Fish, Veggies, Eggs. All Yummy!!!
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I’ve tried it on just about everything I can think of. I’ve yet to find anything it’s not good on lol. We buy it in bulk on Amazon.
Where’s your camp shuvel
Folding shovel?
Lives in the Jeep all the time.
4 minutes info begins
Minimalist... always minimalist
You take a fireplace as “minimalistic” 😂
It's a fire pit, not a fireplace. And yes I take one all the time as a responsible outdoorsman since sometimes I can where there is no fire ring.
What the hell does loadout mean?
Google is your friend.
Loadout
Noun
2. any set of equipment carried while engaged in a task, expedition, etc
Doesn’t make sense. If you have covid,,wouldn’t being away from people outside make the most sense ?!
This video is almost 2 years old. LOL My wife had Covid really bad. I wasn't going to leave her.
