an inexpensive camp hack. go to a dollar store and get pot holders, put one under each cot leg to save wear and tear on the floor of your tent.
Thank you! Great hack!
Check out a 17" blackstone griddle. No more pots and pans to clean. Great for elk hunting camp, sailboat, and camping. It truly is awesome
Thanks for sharing your setup, that helio shower looks great! If coffee time was tight, I highly recommend the jetboil. Quick and compact! Get one!
Thanks for the vid, camping is always better when you prepare properly :).
I gotta say, I really love how you presented these products! I'm usually the friend who does the trial and error and lets my friends know what they're getting into when starting a hobby, and that's how this video felt. You're that friend! Thanks for giving us your insights, I'm slowly getting back into camping and this video was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful, thank you!
Thanks buddy, some of this stuff i use for my camping trips. I like your channel and the tours with your jeep. Greetings from Germany ✌🏻
Great information. I am looking to get into overland camping. Really appreciate all the effort you put into your channel.
Brad -- I love your channel and I watch it more than TV. You're a great presenter and we appreciate the hard work you put into you Vlog. I could only sort of imagine how much work it is to gather the shots you do. Great work. I'm on a mish to watch all of your videos. You're inspiring me to get into off-roading again.
Thank you so much! It's a bit of work to keep the videos flowing, but it's something I really enjoy doing.
I bought one of those Nemo camp showers. I’m SO glad you brought it up. I was wondering what would be a good basic setup to shower. I recently got mine and I used to shower before work. Works perfectly! Keep it up, Brad!
Love this! Jumping on Amazon right now to add to the cart! Thanks brother, keep it up!
Brad, I am gad you and your son got that opportunity and had a great trip, it looked great from the footage you shot. I'm still developing my camping load out for the Jeep, I have even less space with the 2 door and I must admit the wife and I usually over pack. I did get the air bags from airlift and have them installed but as yet have not tested them with a load out. Thanks for sharing your gear, I especially liked those chairs.
Michael, I'm also in a 2d JK and found that by taking out my backseat (its typically just me and my husband, bestfriend, or my dog in my Jeep) I freed up so much space. I built a wood platform over the back area extending over the foot walls and gained so much space. Today I just finished up building out a top deck for even more space for an upcoming trip to Big Bend next week. Just a thought of you can afford to say goodbye to your backseat.
I just bought my Jeep a month ago and I’ve been searching for weeks on RUclips for the best camping gear and yours is by far the best video because you go into much more detail! I subscribed to your channel after watching. Thank you!
Really glad you enjoyed it and welcome to the channel!
I'm fairly new to your channel so I wanted to say I appreciate your service. I too retired from the military after 23 years. I like these gear videos as I am building my own Jeep for adventure travel .
I've been camping in the boundary waters for 20 years plus, and I'm really impressed with your gear, we mostly use the same but I'm extremely minimal and lightweight. It's great to see other stuff from the same company. I'm also a Jeep guy that hits the old lumberjack trails... Not sure if I'm more excited that I found your channel, or upset for the upgrades I'll buy on my Jeep. Well done! Excited to see all the content.
Been eyeing the Nemo for a while, but hadn't thought about using it for washing dishes. Such a great idea, thanks!
Thank you for your service! I always enjoy watching your videos.
That was awesome Brad!! Thanks for listing everything through Amazon!!
Thanks! I hope you were able to find something worth adding to your camping kit.
Great overview for a beginner like me. I will be getting my rig in about a year and enjoy looking at all of your "stuff" love your videos. TU
get your rig?
Thanks Chief, my Christmas list just grew by leaps and bounds! Lol
LOL! Sorry, but at least now when someone asks you what you want for Christmas you can tell them!
I am officially addicted to all your videos... great info and editing
I like the Goal Zero, I have the Yeti 400 lithium with the Boulder 100 solar panel. Which ran my fridge, lights and charged phones for three days with no other charging and the battery never got below 70%.
The Goal Zero is something I wish I would have invested in a while ago, it's a great solution when you need power.
I really respect that you wait to do a review video. Can't tell you how many products I've had that received great reviews but ended up being pretty low quality.
And thank you for your service!
Thank you! Doing unboxing and initial reviews is exciting and I'lld probably still do some of those from time to time, but I will do my best to really put stuff through a good test before offering my full opinion.
Awesome video! Definitely more than a few items I want to have for my kit.
thank you for your service, great video!
Thank you for all the information and sharing your experience , I'm the biggest fan for your channel, I love everything you guys do 😎
So your Amazon List is now an actual bucket list?!? Lol. Thx Marco!
LOL! I suppose it is!
Vincent Gallagher j
Yes sir . Going to order a bunch of the gear you have listed. Thank you
The Rotopax containers look great. Thanks for sharing.
I’ll be adding many of these items to my Amazon wish list. Thanks Brad!
Right on, glad you found a couple things you are interested in.
As always, great video. About the 5 min mark you said the Stanley pot came with 1 cup, mine came with 2...maybe the newer ones do now (I just bought mine).
I really appreciate the way you teach and explain in your videos. You break it down in a way that it’s enjoyable and informative. Cheers!
Thank you! I may have misspoke. I've had the pot for a couple years and now that you mention it, maybe it did come with 2.
Love the channel and your videos will definitely be trying a couple of these items out
Great job with the video. The way you explain everything is awesome. Thank you!!!👍
Thank you!
Great new episode Brad!
I like to see a similar presentation showing all your camera gear and other Equipment used for your vlog including perhaps also what you use for software.
Cheers from Sweden
Thanks, maybe in the future it' something I can do. There is a section on my amazon store that has all the camera gear I'm using.
Thanks for the video! Love all the toys!
Great video! Thank you for posting this with all the links.
Great vid, per usual. Thanks for sharing your setups.
Have you seen many people pull off road trailers out on the trail? I passed a really nice jku pulling a trailer with a roof top tent on it, even had the same wheels & tires as on her lifted jeep. Seems like a nice way to keep the jeep from being overloaded & too top heavy.
We don't come across too many folks with trailers. For the type of off-roading I do, a trailer really isn't practical because I'm always on the move and not really base camping. I notice the weight on the top of the Jeep, but it wasn't a huge burden.
That nemo shower is cool. Definitely adding
I liked the Nemo Helio, might be getting one soon.
Awesome gear...Thanks so much!
Great video, I picked up a few of your items, thanks
Great video! Lots of great info, thank you!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you and your son for your service!
Great video Brad. I’m a new subscriber and I’ve really enjoyed scrolling through your videos. Keep up the good work.
Really enjoyed your video as usual. Think your ready for an off-road trailer. They are awesome. Pull the weight instead of carrying the weight. Thanks Brad
Thank you! I don't know about the trailer, wouldn't mind testing one out. I know for sure I wouldn't have wanted to have had it doing up and down these switchbacks.
Just ordered the fans, great idea thank you!!
good video and review brad, for adventurer from adventurer.... more video like this
Loving your videos...I am an airforce brat...my dad retired in 1970 as a major. I live up in west hollywood and just got me a 2019 Tacoma SR access cab with 6ft bed. I'm also 65 and retired plus got my pilot license this year....but dont have my own plane yet. I'm gearing up to make the trip next year to Oshkosh for the big flyin. Got a tonneau cover and just ordered a truck bed tent, addon ground tent and air mattress for the trip. Wanted to get a smittybilt overland XL tent but couldn't justify the cost right now. Went to the offroad expo in Pomona sunday and saw lots of gear I wanted...just need to win the lottery...lol
Great vid sir! I also love camping gear!
Keep wheelin awesome video 👊
You were in the military before and you took a sales personal class because you are really good at it lol. Love your videos.!!
Love your videos, has gotten my wife and I to do more overlanding camping.
Thank you! I hope you both have some awesome adventures together!
You definitely have some cool camp items that I'm gonna have to get. Sure makes life easier when you have the right equipment.
Each person has to decide what works best for them and within their budget, I'm pretty happy with my current setup but I'm always swapping in new gear just to test it out.
I perc my coffee the night before and put it in a thermos (that I've been hauling around for 25 years) and it's perfect in the morning.
Great idea with the thermos!
Yep, for trips up to 3 days, I keep mine in a thermos. Longer trips I use small French press. Got to have good coffee!
Right I now subscribed to your Channel hello from Atlanta Georgia really cool brother thank you for sharing this great video
This is really good information for people considering Overlanding.
Hey Chief, thanks for your service. I'm active duty myself and just moved out to California and am a new owner of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler 4dr JL. I've been watching your videos to figure out what gear to purchase. Here's a tip to help make you some money. You ought to post affiliate links in your description so that people like me can help support your adventures by purchasing straight from here ;). Thanks for all the information, it's been super helpful!
You good mate, love your vids from Aussie
Great review Brad, I always tend take more than i need for my trips, then wonder why i ever bring those items. Then when i do leave it at home a find a situation that i wish i brought it, lol. I guess that’s Camping, loving that collapsing Bucket. Keep up the good work.
I hear ya, it's a process. Except for that bucket, we didn't really feel like we needed anything else for this trip. Thanks!
Another great video, I love the detail of your reviews. It couldn't have come at a better time, I'm leaving soon for a 2 week camping trip hitting several of the Jeep BOH trails on the east coast and having a 2 door space is at a premium. Now off to the amazon store for Marco's bucket
The bucket is a great cheap, compact and practical piece of gear. Safe travels on your upcoming trip.
Nice review, It gave me several ideas on what to get to bring less on the trails that me and my buddy go out on.
Glad it gave you a few ideas for your setup, thanks!
Another great video Brad . I'm in the process of putting together camping supplies and your video has really helped me out . I just joined your Amazon account .
Awesome, I hope the amazon shop helps you find what you are looking for. Thank you!
That’s some cool gear!
I like your breakdown and review of your gear. The wife and I dont camp but if I can ever get away without her..... I also enjoy your travel/trail video’s.
Thank you, great to hear you are finding the videos helpful.
Great video, thank you!
Great video, as always. One thing you didn't touch on (most people don't talk about), what bathroom essentials do you take with you. Specifically when you camp with your wife. I don't have a problem only taking a shovel and a roll of toilet paper, but my girlfriend isn't thrilled with that option.
Also, I like that helio, I usually just take a pack of wet wipes to sub for showering.
Awesome video!!! Definitely going to check out the Amazon link.
Thank you!
I like those bowls. As an adventure motorcycle rider I/we are always looking to cut down on weight without the scarifies of “roughing it”. I’ll be looking into something like that for my kit. Thank you for sharing.
I use to carry collapsible bowls when I was backpacking and I counted every ounce of weight. They are a great solution.
Really, really nice video!
My dad just got new tires and wheels for his 98 cherokee! Going offroading next week for the first time in 3 years!
Thank you for your service! Love your videos, very informative.
love your videos , I bought a Rubicon jk and I get a lot of ideas from your videos. defiantly going to get some of this camping gear
Thank you and great to hear the videos are giving you some ideas.
What a brilliant video although now having the link to your amazon store could get a little pricy. seriously though I now have some brilliant ideas from this thank you.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you!
Great RUclips Channel master chief!!!
For those of us that suffer from Sleep Apnea, the Goal Zero is a must for keeping the CPAP machine running. It is kept charged at all times at home in case of a multi day power outage and is excellent for camping. I am able to keep my CPAP going for 4 nights on one charge.
Lot's of great practical uses for the Goal Zero for sure. I wouldn't mind having the larger one just for a home generator backup.
I love MREs, ate em when I was in the Army and I still love em. Hint, do not skip the hot sauce no matter what the meal is.
Brad you did it again! Spent part of the day yesterday looking into camping gear. Pots,pans,tables, even refrigerators. I’ve seen your take on your dometic fridge before. So since then I’m doing research on them, amp draw, capacity, duel zone, etc and trying to decide which is best. Almost there. As far as tents Im on order for an Ursa Minor which I cant wait for. Even the wife loved it due to the fact of no more sleeping on the ground. Bugs, critters, and anything else she’s afraid of. Scheduled delivery in October or now I can start saying next month! Couple of things I saw you have that I want are collapsible bucket, cooking pans, the pump collapsible water storage bag for cleaning or showering. So cool you put out this video just when I started up grading my camping gear! Way to go Brad another fine job as all your videos are!
I love shopping around for camping gear and checking out new gadgets, there is always something that catches my eye. The Ursa Minors are SO nice, you and your wife will love it. Thanks!
Brad I’d like to order the cook pans. What’s that site again?
I have them listed on the TrailRecon Amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/trailrecon
Love you videos man / wish I could run a similar setup but the current stage my family is in wouldn't allow it hahah
Great post....soo many things to get. One think I know you have but I didn't see, is a battery charger etc. My favorite is the Antigravity, have had mine for over 5 years, no problems, And if ya get a chance, check out Ctek Battery charger, its not a charger per say, it does a great job on reconditioning your battery, will bring back to 90% new..the 5 stage process can take 24 hours. And it has a great trickle charge for idle/not so much used batteries.
Thank you! I do have a battery charger, but keep that in my tool kit.... it's had plenty of use.
thanks for sharing all these goodies... :)
You are welcome, I hope you found something in the pile that was useful.
Nice gear selection
Great video thanks for sharing im actually planning a camping trip berry soon.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks and safe travels on your upcoming trip.
Got yourself a new subscriber! Awesome channel 👌🏻
Awesome, welcome!
Thanks brother, good ideas. Especially the table.
You are welcome! The table is a great compact piece of gear.
I just realized you were a M.C. What was your rate?
That's awesome about the fridge working with only one battery, I've been looking at those since your previous video about them. Working on building my first overland Rubicon this coming year :). Great videos- super helpful!! Keep them coming
Thanks! I was prepared to jump start my Jeep if needed, but it was nice that the single battery was able to manage the fridge over night.
Just for the reference. I have 40L compressor fridge (similar to yours) at my van which runs about 3 days at hot climate with "single freetime" 95Ah AGM battery setup. So, I do have secondary battery, but you should have any issues running these compressor fridges with single (good) battery for ~24h or so.
One tip is also to set fridge a bit colder when engine is running and then adjust it up few C's (or F's) while camping. This way you can "store" energy to cold fridge while riding, so that it doesn't use compressor as much while camping.
Great Info,,Thank You
Brad that was very helpful
The gear looks great but I think you should show you packing it back up cause if any one is like me getting the stuff back in the bags is a fight with most stuff
Thanks Brad!
You are welcome!
Another great, informative video!! One question: What kinds of establishments provide/allow you to fill up with drinkable water?
I got rid of my roto water and went to NATO Jerry Can water. We carried 4 of these 20L along with 4 20L Jerry Can fuel on our 7 day. While very heavy at first ended up paying off for us in the end.
Nice setup 👍
Thank you!
Clarification on your stanley adventure cup. it comes with 2 green cups, not just the one. ton of backpackers haul those around, perfect for a coffee and an oatmeal in the morning
Another great video Brad! Thanks.
Silly question perhaps...where/how do you you fill up your drinkable water in these 'little towns'?
Thank you! Yes, we made plenty of runs in and out of town, so no problem filling up water. I do cary a water purifier if needed though.
I hardly comment on videos, but wow. A lot of "hardcore" guys would say way too many luxury items, but I would say outside of your other tool video, these are easily all required items for easy stress free camping. Have you used any of the shower or utilitent stuff yet. Seems like more options from Australia are coming over. Usually still hard to get because of limited numbers brought over. I think I'll grab the green elephant utilitent and give that a try. Thanks for all the info you provide.
Thank you for the comment! I hope folks find these items useful.
wao amazing video!👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you!
thanks for sharing
thank you sir! definitely going to pick up that Kelty table!
The table has served me well and I love how compact it is!
TrailRecon already picked it up using your link brother! Thanks! I’ll make sure to tag you on Instagram when I get it in! 👍🏼
Right on! Thanks for using the link and I look forward to your IG post and hearing first hand impressions.
