Couldn’t agree more on the battery jumper. The battery on my f150 was getting old, went out camping near arrow rock reservoir with the family and a door got left open. Next day truck wouldn’t start, luckily we had some friendly neighbors close by to help out. When I saw the sale on the Noco ones I had get it. Great video, solid gear.
Dead batteries in those situations can kinda bring on some momentary panic… glad you got a backup now… if you would have been stuck up there long enough I would have seen you 🙌
Hey firefighter here. I would switch out the hammer punch and seatbelt cutter for a hole punch and serrated knife setup. Those all in one tools are terrible and never work due to leverage. Saw a bunch fail in training and real incidents.
I second this, check out the Resque me stuff, use the small window punch for windows, their hammer is one of the good ones out there. The BattlBox crew put out a few videos on this subject, the orange ones failed multiple times. The Resque branded products performed very well.
@@sectorresearch3941 I carry the Resque Me punches in all my vehicles, they are so small they easily attach to the visor so you can easily get to them.
I literally came to the comments to say this. People using the hammer tend to over swing and cut themselves up. The resqme tool is great, used it to break of lot of windows and cut a lot of seatbelts since they came out.
I'll try... they are a bit tough because prime deals aren't announced in advance so I oretty much have to just do a bunch of digging the first morning and then record and edit the video same day....
Darn you and your fabulous gear reviews. I now have a full Truewerk wardrobe, Several Outdoor Auto hats, Tire deflators, Fantitk vacuum and now an Anker Solix. Method Beadlocks are on "layaway" :) Thanks for your great info
I really don't know how anyone can justify Snapon and other tool trucks with brands like Tekton, Gearwrench, Sonic, Icon, Wiha, Wera, etc out there. I've used them all and there is no way Snapon is worth double, triple or more what those other brands cost.
I worked in a shop years ago.. snap on makes fantastic products but they are based on convenience. Techs would walk out to the truck, warranty swap a wrench etc and walk back in and get back to work. They didn’t have to drive to the hardware store after work and can setup financing plans. It’s a convenience/quality that justifies the tool price. I love snap on but use a lot of husky & craftsman haha
I had to return my Anker c1000. At least Anker stood buy their product and let me send it back after 3 replacements. Won’t be back. If it worked as promised it would have been good… …but the 12v outlet is weak.
@@OutdoorAuto good to hear. Mine would power off and not turn back on (tried every button hold press combo I could think of…and tech support confirmed it should have been a simple 3 second hold) Like I said, Anker was great in a crappy situation. They sent a replacement for the booster battery etc before just refunding and taking the system back). But after 3 trips in a row with something different going wrong each time…I gave up and I’ll build a traditional Lithium battery into the rig. (I’m sure it was just a dud as it never actually worked right but I lost faith in it and don’t want to keep swapping them out). I doubt I drive on rougher stuff than you do…but it does get pretty bumpy sometimes…? I’d give Anker 5 stars for their customer service though.
I have a couple ARB's in vehicles... the fanntik is just the shop "grab & go" compressor... I have 20 vehicles on teh property at the moment... I am always out in fields moving stuff around with flat tires... it is the easiest air solution I have ever had for those jobs. I have used it on vehicles that we off-road that don't have onboard air yet.
@@Jason-ms4gb absolutely, sorry it wasn’t clearer in the video. Both my full time off-road rigs run Dual ARB compressors that run the lockers and also handle air up and down.
All prime day sales are just the clip coupons sales you find throughout the year. They literally remove the discount and then apply it as a “prime day” sale price
So true. There’s a website that shows the price fluctuations and they just raise the prices to lower them again. It’s all to make you think you really need to buy now!
stop with the gear videos man. It's getting silly how nonsensical some of these companies get. Just reply to comments that ask and focus on some real content.
I did two videos this week, one none gear video with over 40 hours of work put into it and then a gear video with 10 hours of work… maybe zoom out and look at the channel as a whole and the tens of thousands of people’s questions I’m answering and have a little perspective… my channel isn’t made just for you.

Good to know… I actually have been wanting to get several options and test them in a video… I just never have windows to break

Hope you feel better. Get some rest.

Thanks for taking time to post this video.
You bet, hopefully it saves someone some money.
Really good list of usefulness. Not flashy just trusted stuff that works and serves a real purpose
One of your best videos because it is very timely.
Way ahead of you on the Weboost. Got it just after midnight yesterday. Thank you (and your son) for doing what you do
I saw the LC video, but I've got the bell on so I see when all your videos come out.
The 100 series video was good. Bummer to hear about the bug. I’ll go share it and play it again when I get home.
Please do more of these videos for every prime day.
I'll try... they are a bit tough because prime deals aren't announced in advance so I oretty much have to just do a bunch of digging the first morning and then record and edit the video same day....
@@OutdoorAutoyea that makes it tough for sure. I missed that weBoost deal and I am hoping they do that again!
Really great video & thank you for sharing your experiences with great products, looks like I will have to check out some more Prime Day Deals today.
Grabbed that jump box. Thanks for the reminder/heads up!
Sweet… I have used mine a few critical times.
@@OutdoorAuto I needed one and only got out due to dumb luck… (long ago when I was younger and ‘smarter’)
The 3 day supply (9 pouches) of mountain house is still a better deal than the one you linked even though it’s not on sale
Darn you and your fabulous gear reviews. I now have a full Truewerk wardrobe, Several Outdoor Auto hats, Tire deflators, Fantitk vacuum and now an Anker Solix. Method Beadlocks are on "layaway" :)
Thanks for your great info
I do love the methods... pretty much the only wheel I run now days.
I saw that price on the WeBoost... 😳 It's tempting.
Saw this guy right by Ling and Louis last Sunday 😅
appreciate the insight
Hopefully it saves somebody money
My solar panel charges the starting battery. Dead batteries aren’t an issue for me
I need to do this.
@@OutdoorAuto the Renogy 50a dc-dc mppt has been doing well for me so far. My friend just bought the Victron and really likes it

Picked up a tire flat repair and those air down stems. Any recs on a cheaper air compressor?
Have you by chance been able to check out the new GEOLANDAR A/T4 that came out?
Not yet unfortunately.
I am trying to find a reliable 12v fridge with 50a Anderson connections. Any recommendations? Thanks!
What made you choose the Fantik over a Smittybuilt or ARB "regular" compressor?

@@OutdoorAuto Thanks for making that more clear. I'm building a rig very similar to your grey Tundra.
@@Jason-ms4gb absolutely, sorry it wasn’t clearer in the video. Both my full time off-road rigs run Dual ARB compressors that run the lockers and also handle air up and down.
So what’s the brand on the multi connector solar panel plugs? You didn’t actually say it. Looking for it now
There is a link in the description of the video.
All prime day sales are just the clip coupons sales you find throughout the year. They literally remove the discount and then apply it as a “prime day” sale price
The first product in the video is $200 less than I got mine for a couple weeks ago… so I disagree…
So true. There’s a website that shows the price fluctuations and they just raise the prices to lower them again. It’s all to make you think you really need to buy now!
Re-post/upload the video, add an intro to it, and maybe it will get the traction it should have.
