Lots of great points. Especially regarding minding the center of gravity, minimizing movement, ease of access, wasted space in thick-walled, irregular-shaped boxes, the roles of hard vs soft cases,and using bags within bags to keep everything organized. Best video I’ve seen regarding effective principles of overland vehicle storage and organization. But the gear itself. If you are going on an African safari or Amazon expedition or even extended domestic overland adventures, and you are wealthy or a business owner, spending hundreds apiece for aluminum boxes (which don’t seem waterproof) makes sense. For the rest of us, who don’t and aren’t, the principles remain totally valid, but the gear recommendations…less so. Looking for both great affordable gear and a channel that brings it to us. Alubox at 1/2 to 1/3 their prices would be a game changer.
Hey quick suggestion on something I’d like to see from a viewers standpoint love the videos but it’d be awesome if you’d drop a link for recommend products on videos
If you are curious about the bags he mentioned because I couldn't quite understand what he said the name was and after a little digging I found it, they are called Red Oxx bags and here is the link - www.redoxx.com/
I am basically just in the introductory and planning phase of getting into overlanding. Just the other day, I was searching for resources for equipment storage. This video was absolutely awesome. Very well done and comprehensive!
I have spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my truck organized while out on trip. Trying things out and after once use reselling it. I have adopted most of the philosophies yall do. Great video.
I have a 2003 Wrangler, space is very limited inside the vehicle. I have went through many storage options throughout the years and what I have found that works well for me are stackable Rigid cases. They are affordable and seem to be build well for the money. I'm running all 3 sizes plus the basket for quick reach items. I read a few comments about the cases XO utilizes. I get it, they are pricey. If you really want something, buy once cry once comes into play. Explore and stay safe.
Great video. We used a similar packing system on a smaller scale to keep things organized in our rucksacks on a recent long-distance walk. Being able to find what you need quickly at the end of a long, hot, tiring day makes a huge difference, and once the system is sorted you find yourself using it without having to think or search - also great when fatigue is an issue. The containers themselves (specifically the soft organizers you refer to in the second half of the video) apply an element of discipline to your packing as they offer a finite amount of space for each gear grouping. I’m currently adapting my Mercedes X-Class 350d for multi-purpose outdoor use in Europe - carrying sports & camping gear - and your videos are providing some great guidance on what to think about re needs and set-up!
Clay, yourself, and the XO team have been a very big inspiration to my fiancee and me when it comes to preparation for long trips and building out a suitable vehicle for our types of exploration. We've been rewatching your video series since XO's inception to the current time and we always find tidbits of information like this to implement in the future. Thank you for all of your continuous insight, we hope to catch you on the trail!
My takeaway on Pelican cases is that they should be reserved for items that get moved around a great deal. Constantly in and out of bush planes or helicopters, as an example. Alu-boxes are best if they are stationary or semi-stationary.
I think you nailed it, when I was a kid we would be in groups doing the weekender things. action packer for dry, tools, etc. seperate bags. You have definitely given me some great ideas to make future ventures excellent
We pack more or less the same way. Packing cubes are the best! We use them daily to keep kids clothes organized in the truck. There's one for each of our kids with different layers and changes of clothes for wherever we might end up at on any given day. My wife and I also have one each with jackets and different layers as well.
I love the idea of the modular setup much more than a fixed drawer style. I too try to keep stuff where I dont have to move one thing to get to another. I also have it setup to where all of my personal belongings clothes etc fit into a bag that’s standard carry on size and thats it. Thanks for the video and appreciate the tips.
Those redox bags are absolutely amazing! I went through several high end bags before settling on redox. The build quality is by far the best I have ever seen. I love them! I really can’t say enough good things about them.
New fan here, just finishing season 3 of the Pan-American series on prime; absolutely fantastic work. Without being too long winded I'd like to thank you and the team for sharing your adventures. You all carry yourselves with compassion, integrity, and represent values of the United States that I'm proud to be a part of. Season 2 episodes 6-7 were mind blowing; what a privilege to witness the impact that team 5 is making. A stand out theme for me that you touch on several times throughout the series is importance of good systems. Would you being willing to share more of your philosophy and insight on this topic, or perhaps point to resources for skill development that have influenced you? Again Thank you and looking forward to more content!
Because Overlanding and the military have a large amount in common. In the military, you are not mostly in combat, even if your MOS is heavily combat oriented. Instead, you are constantly moving, and the ability to understand where gear is located and quickly access that gear is critical. For example, first aid. Rendering first aid to someone who has been shot, or someone who has been bitten by a poisonous snake, time is critical. The ability to quickly grab, access and use medical gear is important in saving that patient. Seconds matter. Even when it's not lift threatening, seconds matter. You are on an expedition and suddenly and unexpectedly there's a pack of wild wolves, running across a field as the sun is setting, creating the perfect picture, the ability to quickly get your camera and take that photo is the difference between having or not having a photo, and when part of your job is getting those photos, time is key.
8:53 The way Clay said "roof rack" reminded me of the famous "hottub" Will Ferrell SNL skit... great video, this was super informative! Helpful to hear about this kind of stuff from someone who has presumably tried a bunch of different methods and found what does (and doesn't) work
Clay this is a very well thought out video. Lots of information, you’re such a wealth of knowledge... I’d imagine you could write/publish a series of books/PDFs (eBooks) on many subjects. It’s just the time to pull all of that knowledge together on “paper”.
Owning a vanagon syncro was great.... Every time it broke down, the engine had to be accessed which required removing all of our camping gear off the rear pad. Tools were usually stored under the bench seat which required unbuckling the child car seats. I don't miss any of that lol
Clay, wondering if you guys ever use interior roof webbing, or canvas storage? Our long road trips we use bungie cords across the the roof handles to hold up bulky pillows above the passengers heads for easy access when tired on road trips. I also have a zipper pouch above our heads in the front seats to secure maps, atlases or anything we don't want cluttering up our space, yet easily accessible. I know in my suv, the bungie cords from front to back also help with things like fishing poles, or paddle storage on trips. Up out of the way, and super cheap. Thought it might help! Keep up the great work, know you are appreciated! B
Great stuff Clay. Always like to hear what others use as a way to maybe simplify why we use!! We’ve use Plano cases as well. Add some weather proofing to the lid and the thin walls allow for plenty of room. Then add punches inside to set up for fast organizing!
Most of this stuff is so far out of reach for most of us in the real world. I was hoping for some ideas that I might be able to use in my vehicle. Most of us are what my friend calls weekend warriors lol and are on much smaller budgets. I’m definitely much more than a weekend warrior and still feel that this gear is way more than I need. I go on adventures that last 3-6 weeks at a go and don’t want to to spend $10,000 or more.
Clay, excellent review on how our Expedition Duffels work for vehicle based travel as well as hitting the skies. With our color selection you can get the team all set and distributing gear each night is super quick.
Your bottom left slide-out drawers maybe builds a side door on the inside to get to items when you are inside your vehicle. You can enter from the top drawer but not the bottom drawer when the weather is not in your favor.
Hey clay have you guys tried out grid-it organizers. We use them for our visors and for glove box organization. Super handy to have for small items that you don’t want to have to dig through a bag for what you need.
@@ExpeditionOverland How much does this thing weigh before installing it on your truck? Is it made out of steel or aluminum? Where are the links to the products you have used in the description box?
Great video. Way more value than I was expecting. And yes, having an "over thought" system is crucial in the long haul. As you said, tossing stuff in a bag works for a weekend. But when your life is in and out of bags, thinking from a military perspective... you better have a system, or you'll end up with chaos and function like a shit sandwich without the bread.
Wondering if you could do a proven video on fuel storage and how fuel buying works in other countries or way up north in Alaska. I am wondering if you ran into fuel issues if so how you dealt with it. Like when you had the Tacoma with the super charger if you ran into getting proper octane rating fuel for it. Thanks in advance.
Love watching this channel and all but most of the vehicle and gear that is used in these series isnt practical or affordable for your average overlander/offroader.
That's right but we (guys on a budged) have to apply that to what is actually within our range. Such as cheap plastic containers, regular fabric water resistant bags and DYI stuff. It is just a matter of using the imagination and apply the same principles but with what we can afford.
Zach Price these guys are sponsored so they dont really care about price and they have to show the gear is best possible light to keep being sponsored.
I'd say those alu boxes on the roof, here in summer I could throw a roast in one in the morning and it'd be ready to eat by the time we got to camp in the afternoon, maybe even lunch. Quality gear though.
Have you ever designed a truck bed that would exactly suit your needs. An American pickup box is a waste if you just put boxes inside - so PCOR makes sense, but an American utility-style box with tent on top would eliminate double wall and still have space in middle.
Next video: each crew member has to open their bag and show us what discretionary items they brought on the trip. Walthall be packing the N64 for some late night GoldenEye. Be honest, that's why you do the battery upgrades.
Question: in your opinion, does the Tacoma hold up to the weight of your overland system? What suspension mods do you feel are necessary to handle the extra weight? If there's a video reference that answers my question already I apologize, new sub here.
Thank you clay. This helps allot. Could you make a comparison on your sleep system and is 8,000+ for the habitat worth it to you guys. ( good on space better than standard rtt or?
It all depends on what you want/need. The Habitat is two-three times the price of a RTT+Canopy, but is less than half the price of a FWC. If you want inside living space, but something that is lightweight, the Habitat is hard to beat. If you're on more of a budget, the RTT definitely does the job well!
@@ExpeditionOverland thanks XO. We have rtt now. And love it. I have been watching your videos for a while you inspired me. So i saved up and got an xj and explored all over Mi and. Now im building a 19 tacoma When i first saw your Tacoma i dreamed of it. Never thought i would ever even own a new vehicle. But it just shows what love and passion can do to someone. My whole perception on life has changed and i want to say you guys are a big part of it. Thank you guys for all that you do. Keep telling your story, i have listend and i have been inspired
If your going to have a RUclips channel like this, you must include links to your products. Just as important, you must respond to your audience's questions. High end gear is generally worth the investment, however buying top quality gear, not always ARB or other popular and cliche gear is worth the name brand costs, buuuuut in the long run, buy junk and waste money. Nicely done video, thank you. Ateamnm
You ignored the latches and lid lip on the AluBox wall vs usable inside dimensions (not diameter), which you accounted for in the Pelican. What about Pelican Air, found weights are very comparable at same volume. You really think going up and disconnecting AluBoxes, which seemed like a struggle, is much different than going into the vehicle for a box or soft bag? Seems worse.
7:21 fellow Jeep guys would give me grief about wanting better performance on the highway and I would reply, there is a lot of pavement between you and the trail.
At about 16 minutes in he talks about removing the straps from bags then he shows a clip of a dude tossing a bag in a vehicle and it has the strap dangling along the bottom of it???
Bro, you really throw in all good stuff, but what I see on the screen is $$$, $$$, and $$$. To me that kind of high-end overland is not affordable ant time soon.
Adam Savage from Mythbusters calls the storage concept you talked about "First Order Retrievability", not having to move one thing to get to another. I thought it was the best name for the idea. He talks about it in this video ruclips.net/video/TWQAYfGxsPE/видео.html
IDK what the thesis of this video was when you sat down to script content, but I am 99% certain you not only missed the mark, you hit your wife in the eye, it ricochet off and killed your dog. I'm most definitely NOT an overlander, but I am looking for ideas, storage, systems to puke money in to because the bed of my truck is a mess. I don't entirely know what I expected when I landed here, but I, with strong convictions understand the skottle memes now.

You ignored the latches and lid lip on the AluBox wall vs usable inside dimensions (not diameter), which you accounted for in the Pelican. What about Pelican Air, found weights are very comparable at same volume. You really think going up and disconnecting AluBoxes, which seemed like a struggle, is much different than going into the vehicle for a box or soft bag? Seems worse.
Love the videos but links would be great .

Alu box is like 200 bucks . wow it' s too much money for just a box. Homedepot Ridgid like 10 times less.
7:21 fellow Jeep guys would give me grief about wanting better performance on the highway and I would reply, there is a lot of pavement between you and the trail.
I really don’t think I can justify spending $2000 on boxes and bags.
At about 16 minutes in he talks about removing the straps from bags then he shows a clip of a dude tossing a bag in a vehicle and it has the strap dangling along the bottom of it???
21 minutes and he never mentions the soft bag on top of the truck behind him. Covers cases for sunglasses but not the damn bag.
Bro, you really throw in all good stuff, but what I see on the screen is $$$, $$$, and $$$. To me that kind of high-end overland is not affordable ant time soon.

Adam Savage from Mythbusters calls the storage concept you talked about "First Order Retrievability", not having to move one thing to get to another. I thought it was the best name for the idea. He talks about it in this video ruclips.net/video/TWQAYfGxsPE/видео.html
IDK what the thesis of this video was when you sat down to script content, but I am 99% certain you not only missed the mark, you hit your wife in the eye, it ricochet off and killed your dog.
I'm most definitely NOT an overlander, but I am looking for ideas, storage, systems to puke money in to because the bed of my truck is a mess. I don't entirely know what I expected when I landed here, but I, with strong convictions understand the skottle memes now.
