You are right about the 12v refrigerator. I have been camping for years and dealing with ice. I bought a 12v refrigerator last year. Total game changer.
Matt I just wanted you to know… 10 seconds into the video, I had to pause, grab some bourbon whiskey, and lay down comfortably on the couch, because I could tell this was going to be an enjoyable video.
12 volt electric blanket. If you’re serious about winter camping this beats ALL other options for staying warm (including a diesel heater). Minimal space and even when not plugged in it’s still a blanket. And it heats a sleeping bag in a couple of minutes. Try it and you won’t go back to anything else. Great video and I agree with your selections!
A 12v blanket can keep you from dying. Even a small battery bank, a 20 degree bag, and a 12v blanket should be part of everybody's winter outage kit and in the car if there's any chance at all they could get stuck somewhere.
I can't believe how much all this gear he has has gone up an average of $50. on each item!! and it hasn't even been a year since he made this great video...
The piece of gear that I can't go camping without is a small garden spray bottle. The specific one I use is a 51oz project source from Lowes. Any big box store has their version. It's just a few bucks and works perfect for washing up, doing dishes. If you dial the mist just right it works well and one fill lasts a couple days.
We have most of that gear. We agree, there is no reason to suffer, to get out and camp. The fridge and dual batteries or a big power supply are our favorites.
I've heard of the Moonshade, but your demo sold me. Having a 2 Door Rubicon with a roof rack, large awnings with usable shade are usually too big for my vehicle. The ability of the Moonshade to expand from a small compact package is incredible, thank you.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures hey! Can you please tell us what size magnets you got? I see the 60mm ones but yours seem larger. I want to make sure the little circle mount is large enough for the rod to go through.
I watch and enjoy all type of camping, off-roading, hiking… I love how each has their their own ‘style’. Over-landing has totally embraced tech and creature comforts - I think it’s great. Power to ya.
All great items on that list (which I'm sure could have been much longer). A lot of people think you need all of it to get started but I feel anyone can start with what they have and improve on it as they go and figure out just what suits them and their style.
totally agree, start off small, a few short shakedown trips & work out what you prefer and take it from there. We bought a load of gear before we knew what we really needed - something's great, some things not so much. For example, fridge, definitely wouldn't be without it. The camp chairs we bought didn't pack down nearly small enough tho'.
I could not agree more about the 12 V refrigerators my wife thought it was a waste of money and was upset then we went to Montana for two weeks living out of our jeep and now she absolutely loves it
@@songbill9287 Bill, you want at least a 50qt. In regards to battery, most of the (higher end) fridge models use anywhere between .7Ah to 1.2Ah (size doesn't really make much of a difference in energy consumption), so you'll need to supply anywhere between 200 - 345Wh daily. Your average 'truck' battery is around 80 - 90Ah, if it's lead-acid, split that number in half, AGM, cut 35% off for 'useable' power. 90Ah x 12V = 1,080Wh x 0.50 = 540Wh. You can get by using one battery, but IMHO, I would install a secondary battery, lead acid / agm / LiFeP04 and use a DC to DC charger to charge that battery while driving or running the vehicle. If you want a really simple solution, buy yourself a 500Wh portable power station, and either use solar for charging or charge while driving, preferably with the AC adapter as they are normally a quicker charge rate.
I run a smaller iceco 20 fridge off a Ecoflow pro off a solar panel on my rack and it will run for weeks at a time. Check the charge rates on your solar generators, huge differences. Jackery takes forever to charge. Thank you for your content.
I've camped almost every way except overlanding. Winter in BWCA, back packing, car, ocean state parks etc. 1st overland trip is May this year in Mojave. My favorite pieces of gear: 6x6 pieces of cheap outdoor carpeting for mats by tents and kitchen area, white gas stoves and lanterns, msr fuel bottles, rope to hang dry stuff, Kelty tarps and folding poles, cabelas alaskan guide ground tent, mini chair in tent vestibule, rubber mallet, power strips, msr dish scraper. The coffee the REI large 48 oz vacuum french press makes is amazing. Better than anything we have at home.
When Dawn Gets Wet It Is Useless For Keeping You Warm. Nice Pillow. Nice 5lber Good Idea. Wow They Still Make Those Ovens Still? Good Idea. Hot Water Heater Run By Propane Is A Great Idea. I Like It! I Don't Winter Camp Anymore But That Is A Great Idea. The Electric Fridges Are A Game Changer For Me. That Is 21st Century Using Power Stations And It Is A Game Changer. I Like The Moon Shade I Would Purchase That Item And The Needed Tie Downs At The Rods Is A Great Value. The GMRS Radios Are New To Me But I Will Study The Tech To Replace My CB! Thank You For The Info.
This was a good list. I've been overlanding for 2 years now and we experiment with a bunch of stuff, but the stuff on this list is pretty close to what I've settled on also.
Great ideas! I also have the Coleman oven, and I love mine too! I was having a hard time controlling the temp and burning the bottom of my baked goods. I saw another vid where they used a pizza stone to diffuse the temperature - I tried it and it works like a charm! I can even get it to fit inside the oven when it is collapsed. Put the stone on the wire rack in the oven when it’s heating up and put your tray or muffin tin right on top - brilliant! No more burnt bottom on the cinnamon buns! The oven is completely frivolous, but I love it! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Love the suggestions. I like when I see people break the socially accepted 'formula' to an overland build to suit their own needs. That's a neat awning. Here in Canada we have a ton of bugs as you head north or into the lakeland, so we love our popup gazebo. We run a Gazelle tent and a Gazelle gazebo. Works well for our type of overlanding which is setting up basecamp, then I can flyfish early in the morning without waking up my wife to breakup camp, and we can explore the area during the day. The gazelle combo combined ran a lot cheaper than the accepted awning/RTT combo and we can move it between vehicles.
So the Gazelle has screens? We have too many mosquitoes in MN, I also hate black flies. Last summer's drought had us dodging nasty ground hornets. I think we need to look into Gazelle brand awning and gazebo. Thanks!!
@@shirtsoffforkiprusof I checked, and they are in stock at REI. It looks like each side of the Gazebo has flaps on the bottom, or tabs, to anchor down so the mosquitoes can't sneak in under the bottom. And it looks really easy to set up!!!! Perfect for overlanding, car camping, or just hanging out at the lake. Thank you for posting this! I also want just about everything else in this video, lol.
All your items are great. One guy in the comments posted about a battery chainsaw (I use my Milwaukee M12 chainsaw) which is a great addition to the list, but my addition to the list would definitely have to be a portable toilet. I don't really care if it's a chemical cassette toilet or a bucket with a seat, but a toilet completely changes camping for me, along with everything else on the list.
Its amazing how different countries use different products :) Im from Australia and we don’t use the portable power banks as much. Most over-landing vehicles will have a large dedicated lithium 12v system (200-400ah is common). We also use solar a lot here too.
Really nice set up, I put 1 gallon sealed containers in my ice cooler- nothing gets wet. I have extended hose on garden sprayer and heat up water on stove. I have an adapter to fill 1 pound propane tanks with 25 pound tank. If I spent all the money you have wrapped up I would have to work overtime and never get to head out there. Slowly and bit by bit I will get more convenient items.
we have been camping with the folding oven since I was a kid! always on the lookout for a used one!!! So cool to see you have one also! not a lot of folks know about them!
I was cleaning the basement about a year ago and found one from a bunch of stuff my father in law had given us (RIP). I had no earthly idea what it was and we finally threw it out. Kicking myself…
That pillow is the best. I love mine ao much and it remains permanently stored in the Jeep for those long road trips where i need to 'stealth' camp in the drivers seat. 😅 For a sleeping bag, I use a Sierra Designs backcountry single and duo (for the RTT). Their design works for me as an elbow out sleeper and the slit by your feet allows you to stick your feet outside the bag when it gets too hot is design genious. For hot shower, I use a Zodi extreme (looks like a large berkey. Pressure pumped, place over stove to heat up). No batteries and can work in firepit. I much prefer this over thise Mr Heater type on demand hot water/shower. For comms, the simplicity with the Midlands is great but for similar cost, the Wouxun KG1000g is a BEAST by comparison. The main unit tucks behind the glove compartment of the JK and I imagine the JL too. For convoy off roading, i can get a second unit and it becomes a repeater station in case we are miles apart. ✌️ The diesel heaters are high on my list but then the Ecoflow Wave 2 does AC and heat off electric so am leaning towards that from the 300W solar + house lithium i had customed to the trunk and roof of my tent. Hope my suggestions inspire some of you all. Thanks for sharing your gear with us.
Great video dude. Folks on here going crazy. This is a hobby. If someone wants to rough it, go backpacking. Car camping/Rv'ing is much different. I love to do both. Ive found myself sizzling at a campsight with no tree cover in middle of the summer. I would have loved to have an ecoflow battery pack to charge a fan while i was under my truck awning.. Thanks for sharing all of this information.
I’d like to recommend rechargeable flashlights, headlights, lanterns. No need to think about fresh batteries. Charge up before the trip and keep charged with your Jackery.
Thank you!. I decided that since I can't get an overlanding rig until next year that I would be buying some equipment that is not vehicle dependant so when I do get my car I can get overlanding. This answered basically everything I have not figured out what to get. Thank you! I will be getting a moon awning for sure!!
Look up step 22. They sell a lot of really nice gear, mostly in the forms of bags and organization parts like straps and buckles and molle attachments. Really high quality gear.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures ah. Well I didn’t notice any in the video. I love their bags. I have a pair of the pangolins for my mobile mechanic work and plan to buy much more of their stuff.
I like playing survivor a little more but the fridge is really really nice. Im looking at a tent now that mounts but after seeing the versatility of a packed awning, it might be worth the little bit of space it takes up stowed away. For hot water im going simpler and making a pvc tank for the roof rack and painting it black. Air line can connect to tank and hose attachment will be at rear of vehicle. Pressurized and warmed by the sun. My first thought is for the kids when they get to the jeep from the beach and theyre all sandy lol
I loved every minuted of this video... I have camped many times in the last 50 years... and never "Glam-Camped" like this... but since I'm 68 and going to start Truck Camping here pretty soon ... I need a lot of these things... Like you said, "To out to Thrive, not to Play some Self Inflicted Version of Survivor" ... BHAHAHAHA.... Question... On that Midland (cb)... what is the longest range it can reach or is it like a real CB radio... or is it like the walkie talkies which I would prefer... how far can you go?
Matt MATT…. 🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻 You ROCK man… totally dig your channel ☝️. I’ve watched many, and your adventures are great. But this is the 2nd time that I’ve been inspired to rethink gear. The SET POWER fridge you recommended, and now the versatility of a more portable awning, totally like that idea better than a permanent mounted batwing. 👊🏼 Also the communication radio, that’s a new one to me. 👌👌👌🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I got a dog….. with a 4runner…. Space is a big issue for me….. RTT won’t work because of the dog…. I only take what I need, the only thing for comfort probably the blanket laying on the bed platform for a little cushion…… just got a car tent, so I can put heater in winter and kick my dog off the bed 😂😂😂
Something to consider - a 12V oven There’s nothing better than rocking up to a campsite or lunch spot with a hot meal ready to eat. There are various brands available from Australian suppliers with the Travel Buddy brand being the original. I use mine for every meal when I’m driving for the couple of hours prior. They consume around 10A and so planning your electrical power is important.
My vote fora future video would be on the diesel air heater installation, safety, use, and maintenance. There is conflicting info out there Re the safety of the all in one vs the separate heater and fuel tank, switching out the green more pliable fuel line, and problems with the air intake, when mounted outside, freezing up. I’ve watched several videos on maintenance, but am still looking for a good step by step one on changing the glow plug, cleaning the fuel filter, and any other maintenance that needs to be done.
Battery powered chain saw. Can't wait for the KAT video's. That's my back yard. LBL, Big South Fork, and Red River Gorge. Have fun it is going to be a big muddy mess this time of year. Deep water crossings.
@@jreca I just bought the EGO 18" a few days ago from Lowes. I really haven't used it yet but I have seen the DeWault work and it was amazing. Quiet enough to use in camp.
I 2nd the Ego stuff. They also sell a $100 inverter (150w, 2usb ports) for the batteries so you can use that for camping if you dont buy a power station costing 100s.
A full size battery chainsaw is amazing and there are definitely a few good ones to choose from. But for camping and overlanding I love the Milwaukee M12 one handed chainsaw, it's the perfect size and weight, and it does the job well.
The awning and the frig, freezer are my 2 most desired additions. I want one of the frig/freezers that both sides can be used either way. That way I have a full style freezer to freeze game on a hunting trip. Packing a boned out deer on ice for long trips is a bitch.
If you are going to be filling a freezer/fridge with deer, consider 2 single zone fridges (cheaper than a dual zone) and they both can be set for either fridge or freezer. Cheers
I need lots of those Glamping accessories! Great Video. Stephen and I used your discount code and purchased our tickets for the show. Keep up the great videos and looking forward to seeing the Kentucky trip.
I have a Coleman oven as well. Have you checked out the oven hacks to cover it with a welders blanket for more economical use. I have not done it yet but am not as handy as others.
How does the moon shade work in rain, from the looks of it, it looks like the back connected to the magnets/vehicle all the water would run into the bed.
You absolutely *do* have to worry about tuning the antenna on a GMRS radio. Any antenna you use has to be a certain percentage of wavelength to work properly.
Nice video. I’m more of a backpacker and haven’t gotten into car camping yet. I don’t think I’d want to spend time managing all that stuff. The whole point of getting into nature is to get away from all the stuff.
Most of this list is true vehicle expedition equipment(radio, fridge, shower). Other wise you’re just “Glamping” on days off and weekends. Rather experience the outdoors for the sake of being outdoors. That means not taking my home with me. If you go outside and do outdoor things such as hunt, fish, photography, rock crawl, climb or hike(as in over night at least) you don’t have room or time for most for these things. Some of the best extended trips I have had in my life had the most minimal amount of equipment.
For safety sake I would recommend having the gas / propane bottle set outside the canopy. In case there is a leak you don't run the risk of in inadvertent ignition, and blowing the whole vehicle.
I take my China. Not the first remember the Safaris Tarzan been using the same set for 28 years will be married 40 years this year. Food taste so good from China . Dishes made in Poland
A lot of this stuff this guy shows is pretty pricy but there are less expensive versions. Awesome ideas in the list to point you in the right direction.

Curious do you fill it with just water for water management or do you mix dish soap with it meaning you don't need a sink/bucket full of solution?
@@ruukusanla I use it for water management and ease.
The bigger ones are great to clean the dogs or a quick rinse off/shower.

Ive found myself sizzling at a campsight with no tree cover in middle of the summer. I would have loved to have an ecoflow battery pack to charge a fan while i was under my truck awning.. Thanks for sharing all of this information.
That moon awning is pretty amazing. Solves a lot of issues for us with half racks
I’d like to recommend rechargeable flashlights, headlights, lanterns. No need to think about fresh batteries. Charge up before the trip and keep charged with your Jackery.
Yep. That’s what we have too.
Thank you!. I decided that since I can't get an overlanding rig until next year that I would be buying some equipment that is not vehicle dependant so when I do get my car I can get overlanding. This answered basically everything I have not figured out what to get. Thank you! I will be getting a moon awning for sure!!
For cooking i bring my instant pot soups pastas galore i make chicken and dumplings all the time
Look up step 22. They sell a lot of really nice gear, mostly in the forms of bags and organization parts like straps and buckles and molle attachments. Really high quality gear.
We have lots of Step22 bags now
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures ah. Well I didn’t notice any in the video. I love their bags. I have a pair of the pangolins for my mobile mechanic work and plan to buy much more of their stuff.
It's all nice. I can see why you need a Gladiator, the space in my JK isn't big enough for all that stuff.
Thanks for posting a list of everything, it makes it so much easier to look at everything in detail!
Probably the best gear video I've ever seen! And I never complement videos.

First you have to have some videos of you going places. Then you can be credible to review gear.
I like playing survivor a little more but the fridge is really really nice. Im looking at a tent now that mounts but after seeing the versatility of a packed awning, it might be worth the little bit of space it takes up stowed away. For hot water im going simpler and making a pvc tank for the roof rack and painting it black. Air line can connect to tank and hose attachment will be at rear of vehicle. Pressurized and warmed by the sun. My first thought is for the kids when they get to the jeep from the beach and theyre all sandy lol
I loved every minuted of this video...
I have camped many times in the last 50 years... and never "Glam-Camped" like this... but since I'm 68 and going to start Truck Camping here pretty soon ... I need a lot of these things... Like you said, "To out to Thrive, not to Play some Self Inflicted Version of Survivor" ...
BHAHAHAHA....
Question... On that Midland (cb)... what is the longest range it can reach or is it like a real CB radio... or is it like the walkie talkies which I would prefer... how far can you go?
The range is very dependent on the terrain. We have had up to 10 mile range before but usually a few miles.
@@OzarkOverlandAdventures
That is EXCELLENT...
Matt MATT….
🤘🏻🤠🤘🏻
You ROCK man… totally dig your channel ☝️. I’ve watched many, and your adventures are great. But this is the 2nd time that I’ve been inspired to rethink gear. The SET POWER fridge you recommended, and now the versatility of a more portable awning, totally like that idea better than a permanent mounted batwing. 👊🏼
Also the communication radio, that’s a new one to me. 👌👌👌🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like your style man. Great work. Your also not annoying. Keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you!
AND... he is not boring...
I got a dog….. with a 4runner…. Space is a big issue for me….. RTT won’t work because of the dog…. I only take what I need, the only thing for comfort probably the blanket laying on the bed platform for a little cushion…… just got a car tent, so I can put heater in winter and kick my dog off the bed 😂😂😂
Hmmm, biscuits and sausage gravy. I'm SOLD on the camp oven!!! Going to save this for review when accumulating gear.
Great video. I really think the Moon Shade would good for my family. Thanks!
One of my new toys is a solo fire pit BONFIRE with a propane kit.
Thanks for the links. Propane tanks are on sale.
The moon shade is awesome 👌
Thanks! Please do more of these.
Something to consider - a 12V oven
There’s nothing better than rocking up to a campsite or lunch spot with a hot meal ready to eat. There are various brands available from Australian suppliers with the Travel Buddy brand being the original. I use mine for every meal when I’m driving for the couple of hours prior. They consume around 10A and so planning your electrical power is important.
I've seen those but haven't used one yet. I wasn't a fan of how large they are.
That 5lb tank is awesome, I’m getting one of those 👍👍
My vote fora future video would be on the diesel air heater installation, safety, use, and maintenance. There is conflicting info out there Re the safety of the all in one vs the separate heater and fuel tank, switching out the green more pliable fuel line, and problems with the air intake, when mounted outside, freezing up. I’ve watched several videos on maintenance, but am still looking for a good step by step one on changing the glow plug, cleaning the fuel filter, and any other maintenance that needs to be done.
I’d add Bluetooth speaker… gotta throw the vibes 😎
Battery powered chain saw. Can't wait for the KAT video's. That's my back yard. LBL, Big South Fork, and Red River Gorge. Have fun it is going to be a big muddy mess this time of year. Deep water crossings.
Which chainsaw do you recomend?
@@jreca I just bought the EGO 18" a few days ago from Lowes. I really haven't used it yet but I have seen the DeWault work and it was amazing. Quiet enough to use in camp.
I 2nd the Ego stuff. They also sell a $100 inverter (150w, 2usb ports) for the batteries so you can use that for camping if you dont buy a power station costing 100s.
A full size battery chainsaw is amazing and there are definitely a few good ones to choose from. But for camping and overlanding I love the Milwaukee M12 one handed chainsaw, it's the perfect size and weight, and it does the job well.
Great video. like the propane tank. I have less space in my JK but will find a spot for it.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you at Moore!
I am ordering the pillow. 😀
Great description hahaha
The moonshade... super simple cover, ingenious... just bought one thanks for the tip....oh by the by, it cost 350.!!!!
Awesome, thank you!
The awning and the frig, freezer are my 2 most desired additions. I want one of the frig/freezers that both sides can be used either way. That way I have a full style freezer to freeze game on a hunting trip. Packing a boned out deer on ice for long trips is a bitch.
If you are going to be filling a freezer/fridge with deer, consider 2 single zone fridges (cheaper than a dual zone) and they both can be set for either fridge or freezer. Cheers
I need lots of those Glamping accessories! Great Video. Stephen and I used your discount code and purchased our tickets for the show.
Keep up the great videos and looking forward to seeing the Kentucky trip.
I have a Coleman oven as well. Have you checked out the oven hacks to cover it with a welders blanket for more economical use. I have not done it yet but am not as handy as others.
We use a welder's blanket to cover our BBQ when it's too cold outside to keep the temps up. Amazingly lightweight and makes a huge difference.
Can't go past a good quality sleeping bag! We use the Ironman ones and they're great for us
Could be cool to attach some sort of bug net to the awning for the mosquitos or something!
How does the moon shade work in rain, from the looks of it, it looks like the back connected to the magnets/vehicle all the water would run into the bed.
I appreciate you sharing your gear and links to obtain them. Thank you.
You absolutely *do* have to worry about tuning the antenna on a GMRS radio. Any antenna you use has to be a certain percentage of wavelength to work properly.
There is no way to tune the antennas that come with Midland GMRS radios. They are plug and play.
I watched one of your older videos you mentioned the usb fan. But they have the zero breeze off gird air conditioner
The Zero Breeze is legit. I have a whole video on it.
Nice video. I’m more of a backpacker and haven’t gotten into car camping yet. I don’t think I’d want to spend time managing all that stuff. The whole point of getting into nature is to get away from all the stuff.
I happen to agree. All he needs now is a diving bell and a lunar excursion module. But .. it is cool to introduce the kids to camping
Most of this list is true vehicle expedition equipment(radio, fridge, shower). Other wise you’re just “Glamping” on days off and weekends. Rather experience the outdoors for the sake of being outdoors. That means not taking my home with me.
If you go outside and do outdoor things such as hunt, fish, photography, rock crawl, climb or hike(as in over night at least) you don’t have room or time for most for these things. Some of the best extended trips I have had in my life had the most minimal amount of equipment.
Great video. I had the Coleman oven and now have switched out to the Omina oven . Check them out.
We have an Omnia now as well and love it.
Cool stuff, great info! Thank you.
Heading over to the Moon shade site now. Thanks for the suggestions.
oooo that pillow looks awesome! a good camp pillow is the most difficult thing to find haha
I still love it!!!
Really enjoy your video’s. Lots to learn when it comes to RV’s Cheers Rob
For safety sake I would recommend having the gas / propane bottle set outside the canopy. In case there is a leak you don't run the risk of in
inadvertent ignition, and blowing the whole vehicle.
It's mounted to an open air bed rack. If it's mounted on the outside then it will get hit by trees on tight trails. It's much safer where it is.
Enlightened Equipment made in MN?! I'm buying! Thanks for sharing - I live in MN and didn't even know they existed!
You'll love them!!
big storms heading your way. present from dfw
The iceco fridges are really good. They have German Danfoss secop compressors
Enlightened equipment changed the game for me. I got two custom bags. They have true hot pink. 🔥
I take my China. Not the first remember the Safaris Tarzan been using the same set for 28 years will be married 40 years this year. Food taste so good from China . Dishes made in Poland
Plus Granddaughters can have their Tea Partys
thank you for making this vid! This is the first time i have seen this awning, just purchased it.
I got some good ideas from this video. Nicely done.
Awesome list of equipment, now I need to go shopping 😂🇨🇦
Thanks Matt, i an always looking forward to you postings. Thanks
A lot of this stuff this guy shows is pretty pricy but there are less expensive versions. Awesome ideas in the list to point you in the right direction.
