This is why I am getting into Overlanding actually. I have a "Reluctant Spouse". She is very much into the thought of traveling and camping. Hates it when I make purchases to increase the resiliency of our family... AKA prepping/being a responsible human being.

@danny pounds Actually, now that COVID has arrived, my wife is now searching hard for a property with some acreage finally! For now I have been loading up on supplies with no complaints from her finally. lol Been planting fruit trees and expanding/planting the garden like my family's life depends on it.
I've watched your channel for a while now, along with several others in similar genre. From day one your suggestions and gear are by the best ones I've seen and/or purchased. When I purchase things that you've suggested on your station I am always blown away and more than happy. Thank You for doing your videos and sharing all the information and equipment you have.
Great job. There’s some good information on this video. Especially for guys like me who are still in the “dream” phase of over landing. The way I understand it, is tell whoever asks whatever they want to hear, and build yourself a badass truck! Great!👍🏻
In a serious SHTF situation(ie: ☢) it may be worthwhile to harden the taco against an EMP attack. I've heard mixed reviews as to how modern vehicles would be affected. At the very least, the most vulnerable parts of the truck would be the ECM/PCM and the sparkplug coil packs so carrying spare parts (visit a junkyard) in an EMP proof bag oughta keep ya moving. Either way, my taco never leaves home without a toolbox stocked with socket wrenches etc.
A most excellent video. I have had a few serious SHTF events in my life and we bugged out through most of them. It just makes sense that if you are somewhere getting flooded out or that has just had an earthquake or potential forest fire why hang around when you can just leave and come back when things are working again. Your advice about calling it overland verse Bugging Out is well advised. The only thing that I would add to this discussion is flash lights in particular Head Lamps are a huge help, A vehicle mounted first aid kit that you know how to use. That means knowing how to use the tourniquets , snake bit kit , quick clot, CPR mask if you have it. Tires are important and the weak part of the Bug out vehicle. Besides spare tires there could be a need to patch and that is a good kit to have and skill needed. Finally the buddy system is important. Two is one and one is none so if you can bug out with a buddy(Battle Buddy) you greatly increase your chances for a positive outcome. That is not just someone in the cab with you but a second vehicle. Thank you for the video I really enjoyed it and found it very provocative. :)
Well done. I have a solar oven, and wind power when I need it, that works great. thank you for all the great info. I watch all your videos. Your on it all the time. cheers. Keep it up.
Like the direction you are going in. Just started building a 4runner for overlanding\bugout and use the same excuse ! Would like to see more solar ,rack systems,storage so on . But would like to see more demonstration some of us learn better seeing ,doing then hearing . Thanks for the efforts and love channel.
You inspired me to take my family out camping this past weekend in Payson, Arizona. We had a great time (used your camping check list) Thanks man. Love your content.
I had not seen the PowerFilm, that is a sweet solar panel. I would love to see a video of how you set it up as an awning, and maybe what devices that inverter will actually run.
Hey Mike! Great info as usual. I learned a lesson re: solar generators. Bought a Enerplex 1200 couple yrs ago. Lithium, 12V charging, good performance. No longer working properly, out of warranty, co. got sold, no longer supported. $1300 down the drain. Fml. Just got Goal Zero. Would love inergy kodiak but way too $$$. Good comms info. I went ham and gmrs.
Nice informative vid! The solar awning sounds like a cool idea. I'm going to have to explore that idea. Maybe you could do a vid on your setup of the awning. Seems super practical for camping.
I have one of the Battery Tenders for my 2002 Chevy Silverado LT 4x4 Quad Cab Dually Long Bed pick-up truck that used to be my daily driver, but now is used only occasionally to haul home improvement / maintenance project materials and my 5th Wheel Travel Trailer. I used to have to call AAA out to jump start it once or twice a year. The guy who drives the jump-start / battery installation truck for AAA, suggested I get it. Works great, and the truck starts every time now. I just plug it into the trucks cigarette lighter and put the 14"X14" solar panel on the dash. Easy peasy lemon squeeze.
A year or so late to the party, so not sure if you'll see this, but- I'm live about 80/20 in Denver/Hartsel and just bought my first truck, a 2014 Ford Raptor. My previous vehicles were all Subarus, ending with manual Forester XT. I don't know much about trucks, but I'm starting to learn. I want to build the Raptor into a daily/overland/bug out do-it-all hybrid. Do you have any recommendations for what I should start with on the build, especially being in the mountains? Thanks!

So far the only person ive seen in my TONS of watching videos as a lurker, that accepted that varying needs of family's with "Special needs" from mentally challenged people, to infants etc. People need to think of that!
I like that Jackery setup but with the “generator” + panel you’re pushing $1,000! I always like the longer videos. Maybe a vid on balancing between a daily driver and a camping truck? I’m planning on a Tacoma but I’ll have to commute with it so I won’t want to go over the top. Functional but also halfway decent on the mpgs.
Yeah... There are certainly cheaper ways to go about it for sure. You're paying for the better quality, ease of use, level of finish/detail, warranty, and the 'just works' aspect of it all.
Got a new subscriber here! Loving the videos and I have so many to catch up on! Been looking into what truck I want to get and man, yours looks amazing!! Keep up the good work!
For backup power, I keep a DeWalt 1800 Power station (DCB1800B) in my Tundra. It uses my power tool battery packs for power storage. This also allows me to have the capability of using power tools when off the trail as well as power other larger appliances. Check it out.
Pretty quick - it was stock most of its life. I had been saving for, and planning out all the things months in advance though. Worked with some companies to plan this and that and got some discounts here and there. But all said and done, I think the truck was pretty much stock still about 5 months ago. So everything you see done to it now was pretty much in the past 5 months.
@@LastLineOfDefense I've been doing my best to have some self control and do it bit by bit and not bury my face in loads of debt haha it's been hard not to just go crazy and buy it all at once.
Haha definitely don't rack up debt doing it. I think spreading it out also spreads out the joy and the fun. Little mods here and there are my favorite. I think you appreciate the whole rig a little less if you do it all in one go.
I think honestly if you where to need to bugout your feet is what your going to be left with, unless your building a bugout bulldozer or something. Any urban area would be a traffic jam. If your already live in a rural area then cool, you’ll get use out of a vehicle like this. But I love the Tacoma is awesome! Building something like that... any excuse works!! That’s just awesome!
Your truck has a 400w power outlet built in, you didn't say anything about that..Most tacoma's come stock with it that other trucks dont.. Im sure you know that you just forgot to mention it, You will have to have your truck running for the 400w.. and 100w with truck not running
Mike, just discovered your channel. Would love more ham vids. Live on Kauai and have been fixing up my tj for overlanding...glad to know that’s what I’ve been doing...thought the RRT put it in the glamping category! Thanks
Note that there are refrigerators that run on butane/propane gas, they don't really use that much gas either. There are models which can run on both gas, 12V or 115/230V, common in RV's and campers. Quite costly though. The budget version is of course a cooler which can run on 12V, you can keep it running while the car is running and shut it down when you stop and it'll still keep cool for hours (unless you're constantly opening it). Can get one of those for less than $100.
This for the tailgate - amzn.to/2IHN7GY Then there are some gaps at the front of the bed that you'll either need to caulk/silicone and/or use a combination of the weatherstripping or other stuff jammed into places to fill the gaps. There are some other voids in the rear bottom of the tailgate that you can silicone. Then the storage bins are the other issue, since they have open holes for the latches. I haven't sealed those off, so my tailgate isn't completely sealed. The cover itself should be pretty good to go, but I did add a tiny more weatherstripping near where the hinges are on the diamondback. But no, I haven't made a video on it.
A few miles simplex? How many watts? Thats a tiny little antenna for a few miles... with a 30inch antenna on a 10 watt radio I can usually only get about 2.5 miles give or take depending on the terrain
ham is great, and not too hard to get your license. Technically speaking you need to have a license for GMRS (the "twelve mile radio" you mention in the video). That barrier is much lower than ham but you still can't legally transmit without a license. 73's! - W9MZD
Paused video. Went to “videos,” sort by oldest. Opened CCW training from 4 years ago. What weights you been lifting Mike? “All of them.” Oh ok. That makes sense. Lol
At the 8:26 minute mark, you can Sasquatch strolling in the background. Legend has it, he's secretly into the Overlanding lifestyle and likes to peek at other people's rigs for ideas. Lol
I vastly under-use my ham, honestly. I studied to get my license, and then it's always been on my 'list' to learn more to utilize the capabilities more, but no - right now I basically just use them as a two-way radio, with the occasional use of local repeaters. here's all the gear though, including the stubby - www.amazon.com/shop/lastlineofdefense?listId=16EFWSKXHC62U
I have a question for ya. I noticed you have Fox Labs pepper spray in your truck. I was looking into getting some to keep in my truck. Im in Commiefornia though so it gets 100 degrees outside temp in the summer. Do you leave it in there full time or take it out if its hot outside? Keep the awesome videos coming and stay safe 🇺🇸
Hi, have the same truck except Access Cab. Are those "rock rails", steps, factory? I'm interested in something that acts as a rock rail that I can also use as a step. Not just a step, know what I mean?
Worked for the Wehrmacht. Great in all terrains and altitudes. Brilliant move, really. Pack some oil and a flat-head, maybe a few vacc hoses and you’re set. Those that know, know.
Great video. Would love to see the reviews of the power film charger and the solar generator. Would love some more comms videos. You plan on doing any APRS with your HAM?
Bug out is the theoretical situation where there is a disaster natural or man made or a complete collapse of government also known as SHTF (doomsday kind of situations)

Haha about 7 years ago I was bigger than I am now, then I ate less / healthier for awhile, and now I'm back to eating more...
Maybe do a video on the kind of workouts you should be focusing on to be "ready for anything" 😂😂
Check out Pelican coolers. They're made just outside of Richmond, VA and they're bombproof (or at least bear proof!)
Don’t know if you did a video on getting out of mud with those tracks? That would be a good idea.
Would you say a 2019 Rav 4 Adventure could be a bug-out or overland type of rig ? what major upgrades would you recommend if that is possible?

bugging out, damn this bug is bugging me :-)
Love the truck!
What is the model and type of amateur radio antenna? Im referring to the stubby you are showing on your video. Also do you use APRS while off-roading.
I vastly under-use my ham, honestly. I studied to get my license, and then it's always been on my 'list' to learn more to utilize the capabilities more, but no - right now I basically just use them as a two-way radio, with the occasional use of local repeaters.

let me ask you? have try the bluetii ac 200. please take a look.
Very nice vid! I subscribed. We are more prepared for overlanding than bugout but definitely similitaries of two worlds:-D
Just watched the big out vs. Overland rig. What kind of a antenna hood mount is that?
I have a question for ya. I noticed you have Fox Labs pepper spray in your truck. I was looking into getting some to keep in my truck. Im in Commiefornia though so it gets 100 degrees outside temp in the summer. Do you leave it in there full time or take it out if its hot outside?

How did you protect your Tacoma against EMP?
MAXTRAX okay... I was gonna ask why the heck you had a stokes basket mounted on your truck.
Hi, have the same truck except Access Cab. Are those "rock rails", steps, factory? I'm interested in something that acts as a rock rail that I can also use as a step. Not just a step, know what I mean?
Are Subaru Outbacks reliable ?
How can I get a hold of that exact fold out solar panel you show in the video please? Thanks.
what are the dimensions to your awning/solar pannel
You want a diesel swap for it. When there is no more gas stations you can make your own gas.
I just bought a 2018 dcsb auto quicksand Tacoma TRD off road, I love it! You should get the 5.29 gears like Max Powell did
Won't do 5.29s, but will probably end up with 4.88s.
Last Line Of Defense eventually I think I’m gonna do one or the other, I don’t drive a lot of highway

RUGGED. TAKE IT OFF ANY SICK JUMPS!?!?
Worked for the Wehrmacht. Great in all terrains and altitudes. Brilliant move, really. Pack some oil and a flat-head, maybe a few vacc hoses and you’re set. Those that know, know.
You probably "overland" to work everyday on pavement. I despise that word.
Yeah when did "off roading" become "over landing?"
@@danielmorton4306 Off roading is driving around and 4 wheeling. Over landing is doing that with camping in mind.
Thank you mike that was good info.
Do you have a video on your solar honing?
Check out the Runaway Campers Venturist model
Good video!
hey bro what insert did you use to mount the ham radio in that useless driver side cubby? been looking for a good spot and that's awesome
Great video. Would love to see the reviews of the power film charger and the solar generator.
Would love some more comms videos. You plan on doing any APRS with your HAM?
Please do a review on your new Baja designs S2 hood lights!!!!
Did I miss where you explain what a Bugout situation is??? Never heard of that term... 🤔
Bug out is the theoretical situation where there is a disaster natural or man made or a complete collapse of government also known as SHTF (doomsday kind of situations)
What antenna is that? Which brand is your HAM set up? Should make a vid on that and your ARB set up.
Already did a vid on my ARB setup - check my vids.
@@LastLineOfDefense found that like 10 mins later, sorry.
I expected to see 2 different vehicle SxS comparison .
I mean, do you really have to get licensed before you transmit in a ham radio though?
What happened to the Chafon solar generator?
