    So refreshing to see someone talk about “overlanding” and not spend 5 min discussing tactical knives while fully decked out in 5-11 gear. Also, I spent 20 yrs in the military and you nailed the mission planning mindset. Planning to get in is only 1/3 the planning. Ya also gotta get out and ya got get thru an emergency(unexpected weather, gear/vehicle failure, injury/sickness). Nice!

      Appreciate you for taking the time to comment! Thank you for your service to our nation as well. Yeah, good prep does most of the heavy lifting but right mindset for when, not if, things so sideways is critical. I'm constantly working on that right mindset thing--always a work in progress. Happy Holidays to you!

    I did a 2 month overlanding trip in 2019 from the east to the Canadian Rockies and Badlands, Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. I did that one with an AWD Lexus RX 350 pulling a little teardrop trailer and could go anywhere I wanted. But when planning a 2 month trip this year to Colorado, Utah and Arizona, there were so many places I wanted to go but couldn't without a legitimate high clearance 4WD vehicle that I bought a 4WD Toyota 4Runner and sold the Lexus and the trailer. I am converting to tent camping (including a collapsible cot because I'm too old to sleep on the ground) and since I'm making the trip on my own and use the 4Runner as my everyday driver, I'm going to keep everything inside the vehicle. No roof rack, external mounts, etc. that I won't need or use 90% of the time, that cost a lot of money, and that will decrease gas mileage and potentially make the inside of the vehicle noisier on the road.
    Now that I got rid of the trailer and will have everything inside the vehicle, I can go anywhere the vehicle is capable of going instead of having to leave the trailer somewhere and go back and get it. No backtracking. I can travel point to point and if I see somewhere I want to stop to hike or photograph along the way, I don't have to worry about how much room I need to park and maneuver because of a trailer. I pretty much have all my gear at this point and am going to pack everything like I'm leaving to see if I can create enough space to sleep inside the vehicle when I'm only going to be somewhere for a night or two and don't want to set up the tent. I think I should be able to do it. I have several 3 to 5 night camping trips scheduled for close to home ahead of my big trip so I can see if I'm missing anything important, figure out how to pack the vehicle to quickly access the things I use the most, to get quicker at setting up and breaking down a campsite, etc.
    One place where I've gone against what most people do is in the area of cooking. I am not comfortable carrying a propane tank inside my vehicle and am not going to spend the money required to safely mount one outside the vehicle. I'm going with a one burner induction cooktop that I can power with a Jackery. At its peak setting, the induction cooktop will draw a lot more power than the Jackery can put out on a sustained basis. But I've tested the induction cooktop with the Jackery and it does fine up to medium heat, which is good for 90% of my home cooking - pretty much everything other than searing meat. Induction cooking seems to be pretty common for overlanders in Australia based on videos, but I see very few Americans doing it.
    I can supplement the induction cooktop by cooking on grills at campsites when fires are allowed. I have a little JetBoil and a couple of small butane canisters like backpackers use so I can quickly make coffee or hot tea without dragging out the portable kitchen and induction cooktop and opening up the back of the vehicle. I've ditched a Yeti cooler for a 45 liter portable refrigerator that has much more effective capacity (since it doesn't have to be 2/3 loaded with ice) and will run off the Jackery,. The Jackery can be recharged via an AC outlet in the vehicle in a couple of hours and it can power the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
    Thanks for taking the time to make your videos. Yours and others like them have helped me look at different approaches and figure out what gear I need to overland the way I want to do it. If we don't have another Covid outbreak and my health stays good, I plan to spend a couple of months a year taking overlanding trips; it will be 2 season stuff where I can get mostly reasonable temperatures based on where I'm going. I'm not going to hike in 100 degree temperatures and if it's 20 degrees and snowing I'm going to be in a hotel, not a tent. I may do some winter trips where I stay in a centrally located hotel or cabin or two for a month and leave most of the overlanding gear at home.
    Also, I appreciate your videos on dealing with depression. I went through a very rough 2 year period with debilitating depression, in large part due to health issues, but I have been clear of it for over 10 years now. Keep plugging and ask for help when you need it, and hopefully it will lift for you like it did for me.

The only question I had was how to connect with others on trails or guides.

      The overlanding community as a whole is very helpful and friendly overall. Check out some of the online communities like Overland Bound if you want to connect with others in your area. As far as guides, there are a few companies that do guided overland trips but take a look at my other video on how to plan an overlanding adventure ruclips.net/video/IBhZHAc-KK4/видео.html to help you get started.

    As an old river rafter (now more on land) I have been using different fire pans for many years and have come up with a great,inexpensive system that I now use when taking our trailer out boondocking. Lots of (now called fire pits) fancy, trick, folding units hitting the market and that's good to see more folks using them instead of nasty rock fire rings but there is a very simple compact way that I show in my vids. The advantages are many and to "leave no trace" is just a bonus.

    In terms of thos fire extinguishers, definitely look up more test videos, sometimes they work and othe times they don't. Could be a good supliment. We carry one if the aerosol cans in the kitchen kit and its always ready to go when cooking and everyone knows where it is. And an normal abc fire extinguisher, kitchen size or a touch larger.

    I’m from Redding, CA so true NorCal. There are actually a lot of opportunities for campfire cooking in California, but it depends on the time of year. I just went last weekend and had a great time cooking over the campfire. From about mid July through Sep, you can depend on fire restrictions. Outside those times, you can totally enjoy campfire cooking. Just check with the ranger district or BLM office you’re planning on adventuring in to get current fire restrictions - and make sure to obtain a campfire permit!

    Hey, I use a Zodi Extreme as my hot shower. Water gets hot by placing the entire fire extinguisher looking unit over a fire of the stove. It has colored decals similar to what is used on fish tanks to display temps. It's mechanically pressurized so you can have a pressure shower. Not many overlanders know about this. Such a great device. No complicated set ups from the on demand hot water units.

    • @ggg4runner
      @ggg4runner  Год назад

      Oh what the… I seriously haven’t heard of that one and appreciate you taking the time to suggest it. I’ll definitely take a close look at that when I’m planning the next long-ish trip! Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation! 😃

    • @williamlee7782
      @williamlee7782 Год назад +1

      For what it's worth, I think in stages depending on circumstances of trip so for my shower:
      Stage 1: 2liter soda bottle (with shower attachment off Amazon). Works great!
      Stage 2: Nemo pressure shower (same as zodi but collapsible and cannot be placed over a fire to heat up)
      Stage 3: zodi extreme.
      Stage 4: on demand hot shower (which I don't see a need for yet). The geyser sponge system looks intriguing to me however.
      Happy camping, fellow overlander!

    13:00 - Thank you for mentioning training. There are far too many people who buy a first-aid kit(usually the cheapest one they can find), but have no idea how to apply it. You can take a one-day basic first-aid course on a weekend for pretty reasonable prices. You don't need to be a seasoned paramedic(although it doesn't hurt), but taking a wilderness first-aid course is a worthy investment.
    Really, any time you buy a piece of gear, you should consider the training required to use it. I took a winch and recovery course, and in eight hours, I learned an unbelievable amount of stuff. Training is just as important as gear, and often more so. Remember, a lot of places won't have signal to let you watch a RUclips tutorial.

    This activity can seriously throw you down the rabbit hole of gadgets and gear. You definitely hit on some of the most important ones. Maybe do a video on Comms…GMRS. Some friends and I are about to do our 2nd annual Death Valley trip….and there’s always new gear needed.

    • @ggg4runner
      @ggg4runner  Год назад +1

      Yeah, serious rabbit hole if you love new gear/gadgets. I only have working experience with GMRS and MURS as I never got into CB and Ham, so I'm not sure I can offer any real useful knowledge. But, I can certainly bring up what we currently use for GMRS comms in the gear video I'll be doing in the next couple of weeks.
      I'm sure you already know but a bunch of stuff in Death Valley is still closed, so plan accordingly 😉 Have a great time!

    But I am building a 95 ram short bed single cab 4x4 with a campershell for an overland retirement adventure . She's already looking rad , got the big mud tires , chopped fenders and bumpers Bajaj style .
    I live offgrid near a natinal park and national forest lands. So we get to have fun . Peace.
