Appreciate that. I’ll have to do an update video. Removed the tent. Added a second panel. Fridge/freezer. Onboard water and rain catchment system. It’d be 100% offgrid if I could figure out fuel.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "bug out bag radio" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Janameron Tenylan System - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.
Good I’m glad it helped you. The cheap beofengs work for what I need it for. But I will definitely google and check that out. Haven’t heard of it. Thanks for the heads up 😎
Amazing vehicle! Well done. Impressively organised. Nothing extra, well thought of. Your channel is underrated, please continue producing content like this!
Jeep, or any vehicle for that matter, shouldn’t be part of anyone’s long term plan. Anything that’s finite is useless even with no emp. Boots and backpack are the only things you should invest in and count on. 👍🏼
I moved to a smaller town recently and i stick out like a sore thumb and im an average joe. id pick the area your bugging out to and make the thing look like the average vehicle in the area . Like a sleeper. Also Ice addiction has increased by 1000% in the area and they salivate over cars that are optioned out, tje beast wouldn't be around if you left it and went hiking for a day or so.
Is that’s gobi roof rack? I’m trying to get the fast back version and I wasn’t sure the limb risers would be compatible with it. Also I love listening to the NOAA weather radio as well.
I like everything about it looks great just one thing I'm trying to understand.. why were you carrying the cup around literally the whole time? It was empty as well until you sprayed a little bit of water in it.. no judgement just didn't know if it's a new cup out that you're promoting or what not. Again tho great set up love it all, I plan on doing mine as a dodge ram 1500
What's the red button on the left side of your steering wheel for? Also where did you get the straw attachment for your water can and what is it called?
Hey Matthew. The red button,I believe, is called a suicide knob. They spin freely in any direction, left or right, and allow you to make much easier turns. I often hit dead ends in the woods so that makes quick work of a fifteen point turn :P. The straw attachment was off ebay. Typed in scepter accessories or scepter jerrycan straw. Let me know if you find it 👍🏼
Thanks Brian. Welcome to the channel. Glad to have ya 😎 definitely working on finding a location for a rappel. (Only urban options for me. Not the easiest to film) :P
Awesome. Thank you 😎 the jugs are scepter Jerry cans. I think you may be able to grab them off Amazon now. Good luck in the rig. Jeeps are fun, minus the Mpgs
Hey Joseph. I believe it’s called a safari rack, or atleast what this one was called. Mine was just one of ebay. Not the most expensive name brand ones. Had it for years and It’s held up great so far 👍🏼
Hey Chris. Honestly I think it was a no name brand off eBay. Didn’t see the point in dropping hundreds on a net. Try beating jeep cargo net and see what pops up. Want to say they were 50bbucks
Garrett Losabia yeah I believe it’s anything after 07 they’re all the same. Then revamped this year with the 2018. My only regret was not going with a bigger suspension lift right off the bat. But slowly molding her into my zombie rig. 😎
jonMD1210 Nothing says “overlander walk around” like highlighting your rig over a mug of coffee 😎. Thanks for checking out the vid let me know if there’s anything you’d like see in future content.
congratulations, your BOV has an excellent configuration, very good equipment and exemplary organization, I like it very much, grateful for shares, hug from Brazil
Sobrevivendo ao jogo Thanks for stopping by to check it out. There’s been some changes, so an update video is in order. Hopefully one day Brazil is in the cards for me to overland 😎
just a though, not sure if it was mentioned in the comments previously, but have a fire extinguisher in the front of the vehicle too. If you can not access the back of the vehicle you are in trouble. The glass breaker and seat belt cutter combos are good, do you have it set so everyone in the vehicle can access one while seated with out moving their body's too much? Maybe some defensive items in the front compartment or cockpit as you call it like bear mace?
Those are all great points. I’ve added a few more glass breakers since posting this video, all accessible by each passenger. As for protection, I chose not to show where and how I keep it stored but I always have a firearm within a hands reach. But a second fire extinguisher up front for accessibility is a great idea I hadn’t thought to add. Thanks for the input 👍🏼
BLADExARTx5160 I have a mount for a rifle. And my Glock. But Glock is my edc so that goes with me when I leave the vehicle. And rifle doesn’t live In The jeep full time. I want one of those drawer safes. Just $$$. Working on quick release cages for all the windows, effectively making the entire rig a moving safe. Need a good fabricator though.
I just added the vector bar to my 2018 Jeep Wrangler. I am looking at ordering the same type of ram mounting systems for all my gear. The question that I have is the attachments you used to secure the arms to the bar. Did you prefer the RAM Zinc Coated U-Bolt Mounting Base with 1 inch Ball over the Ram Mount Torque? The Torque looks like it would be a cleaner look but wasn't sure if it would for sure fit. Looking for your input and thoughts before I order. And did you use the double arm for the iPad?
Clarence Jenn Wesloski Nice man, I love mine. You won’t be disappointed 👍🏼 the torque is the way to go in my opinion, much cleaner looking. The I pad mount is the x-grip iPad version with the larger swing arm( believe that’s the 1inch) it’s been a while since I’ve dove into the ram mount rabbit hole :P. I purchased all the mounts and swing arms on amazon. Which helped to narrow it down for me. I believe most were complete kits. Save for a few of those mounts, I remember having to fish around and order extra swing arms to make it all work. Hope that helps. Keep sending more questions if I got off track a bit :P and send some pics on Instagram, if you have, I want to see the set up. 👍🏼 congrats
@@WhentheLightsgoOut Thanks for the quick response. So you think the torque will fit onto the bar? It looks like the bar is just under 1" in diameter and the torque mount is up to 1". And I will send pics for sure when its all complete. :)
Clarence Jenn Wesloski You know it, love this stuff :P. It’s been so long to be honest, I don’t want to steer you in the wrong direction. But I’m 99% sure the torque will fit. They come with spacers. But there’s also more surface area and hold better. The zinc U bolts I had to really crank down which I don’t like.
Lol, haven’t found that function yet. I actually just recently figured out the GPS on it. Has a cool “return to home” function. Leaves breadcrumbs so you can find your way back to your broken down car or your off grid campsite. Worth the price tag so far.
Hey Robert. Efficient is not a word that comes to mind with jeeps lol. Not sure if it was in this video but I have a rotopax on the back safari rack. And during hurricane season I have a 10 gal aux tank I could strap on the roof rack( siphon the gas right into the tank from the roof) but that’s only if I knew I had to go the distance. Waiting for the day solar powered jeeps are a thing :P
Vince hey man thanks for watching. First off the valuables in the truck don’t live in there full time so wouldn’t be anything to steal,but there are a few things I left out on purpose. Without going into great detail: Everything is locked down/bolted to the jeep itself. Have a separate hidden safe inside(also bolted in) not shown in the video with keys. Also In the works with a few welders getting some quick release(from the inside) window cages fabricated couldn’t smash your way in. Effectively turning the entire jeep into a moving vault. All that being said. This is more the search and rescue jeep with all the features you’d need for any foreseeable disaster. There is a time and place for Gray man. Thanks for watching. Let me know if there’s any content you’d like to see for future videos.
When the Lights go Out - What are you running to gain extra power for the Jeep for all the added weight? And is your gearing the stock 3.21? I have a 2017 unlimited sport and I was looking into alarms but I’ve been hearing about sensor alarms, where if someone even puts their hand inside the Jeep with the tops off or windows down that it will go off and disable the jeeps computer system completely, so it can’t be stolen, and notify you by phone instantly, my bug out bag/camping equipment would be a thousand or more loss instantly, not counting the guns that might be inside either depending on where I’m going, mine unfortunately is too big to fit in the garage also, why I was wondering about your security.
Vince I hear ya. Always a gamble no matter what you do. My bugout gear stays at the house. Just have my get Home bag that rides in the back. Hiking boots and the tool set. Everything else I don’t know I’d trust leaving in. Horse power wise only what little I gained from a cold air intake and Pypes high clearance exhaust. So it doesn’t go very fast lol but it’s been able to still power through every obstacle I’ve put it through. Stock gearing as well. Selling the roof top tent though. I’ve only used it twice. I find myself building my own structures or hammock camping off the roof rack most the time. So that’ll save some weight bring me a few mpg back hopefully. I also had the radio put in by bestbuy and had a whole bunch of electrical issues. Just a word of caution before diving into the alarm system.
When the Lights go Out I’ll have to figure something out, might just go back to the dealer and have a factory alarm put on and just be done with it, I get scared because jeeps are just to easy too break into, especially mine which is just the manual windows and locks, the hoods latches are a joke too, I’ve had my damn battery stolen 2 times until I found locking hood latches.
Vince People are insane. I would definitely save yourself the headache and go through the dealer so you don’t void your warranty. Keep in touch let me know what you end up doing security wise and how it goes. Wouldn’t mind some more measures on mine either.
jimmylostcozz not sure. It’s royalty free music off UA-cam audio library. Song name should be in the video description. If it’s not then I honestly couldn’t tell you
jimmylostcozz awesome man. Appreciate it. Wish I could be more specific for ya. Songs on UA-cam are a difficult thing to say the least. Welcome to the channel 😎
twowheelslater That’s what it’s really about, we all know that 😎. The bar is from a company called vector off road I believe. But RAM just announced their own vehicle dash tracks. Much more stream lined. I’d look into those if I hadn’t already pulled the trigger on this one
Shaun Cassady Hey man thanks for watching. The Ram mounts? They bolt on to a vector off-road dashboard. Not sure on the exact name of the product. But vector off-road is the company. Does not come factory with all jeeps unfortunately but opens up a world of possibilities.
Nice man. It’s simple. Just an amazon charge controller. Some wires(auto store) make sure you get a red and black. I cheaped out at first and got just black wires. Fried my inverter. (Reversed polarity) Dumb things happen. And he battery is basically a golf cart battery. Bought it at harbor freight. They market it as a dedicated solar battery. But any deep cycle(yellow top) marine battery would work great. 👍🏼
Honestly ebay and amazon can get most of it done for you. Obviously the more specialized things like the expedition dash and roof rack are pricey add ons. But all the lights and extra goodies are mostly just amazon special 😎 work just fine for what I need. Adding some IR lights too for some night vision driving 👍🏼
It’s a small tank my man. Used to metal detect for “treasure” nothing below 20 ft. Occasional paddle board trip to the beach with it. That’s the advantage. Light weight and simple to throw on. Not a technical set up by any stretch
At a local shopping centre dozens of cars were unable to be opened as the buttons wouldnt unlock the doors. There is some tech already that thieves use that jams the signal and makes them unusable . Its a lot of tech that relies heavily on electronics that could be fried or jammed
awakenlilrabbit until there’s an off-road capable vehicle/daily driver that doesn’t rely on an unsustainable resource (gas) not to worried about vehicles in general. They’re all going to be bullet magnets.
Thanks man. It’s just a no name cargo net I found off ebay. Does the job just as well as the expensive name brand ones for a quarter the price. No issues with it👍🏼
Something to be said for having pride in your gear and taking care of it. Doesn’t take much for a wash and a wax once in a while. Same goes for your ground gear.
The “screen” is a smittybilt 6x8 awning and the projector is just a mini USB projector I picked up at brook stone before the store closed down. Nothing fancy was a floor model. But fits in your pocket and the whole system works great. Have to run it on a larger battery pack though so it doesn’t die in the middle of your movie 🍿
Great video and amazing explanation. It will be great to know more and be more detailed in the trauma kit and obviously any detail on weapons you carry in the car. Blessings my friend...
jorge pelaez Thank you my man. I will work in a trauma video in the future. Weapons I left out purposely for some OP Sec. but always at an arms reach. Thanks for the kind words and checking out the channel 😎👍🏼
This one is the Casio solar titanium protrek. Recently switched over to the solar gps g-shock Rangeman and never looking back. If you scroll through to the “covert tactical loadout” video, you can get a batter look at it there. Thanks for watching.
Thank you. It’s a no name brand cargo net off ebay. Much less expensive and, since it’s never exposed to sunlight in my case, works just as well as The pricier ones 👍🏼
Awesome Jeep! I just bought one a few months ago and am slowly making changes to it. I added a small flag to the inside from Forever Wave. I’d love a large flag like that on the back but I’m having trouble finding them. I assume there’s some kind of special bracket used to mount that specifically to the back of a Jeep. Where can I find this?
James Hall Hey man. Thanks for watching. It’s actually an exterior flag you would mount outside your house. I got mine at Lowe’s. Ended up using the white mounting bracket it came with and wedged it in my high lift jack mount. Fits perfect.
You should look into UHMWPE fabric, install it in your door panels for ballistic doors, it's relatively inexpensive (maybe 50 bucks for a bullet-proof layered (15-20 layers depending) square yard). Of course, it's soft armour, so it'll probably only be good for pistol calibers. But still, it would be really dope to have.
@10:10 “hidden from plain view”. News flash: I see a vehicle with equipment on top, We are robbing it. Rooftop tent, awning, lights, etc = perfect way to pick off.
lol There ya go. I wouldn’t mind one myself. We need to convert to solar/electric powered. Only problem with all these vehicles. Can only run for so long.
I gave it a thumbs up. Well narrated and the veh is fabulous! I like the multi-use tent awning for watching videos with that hot date (or even hotter wife and children😁) and/or establishing a shady area. Well thought out with maximum attention to detail. Thanks for that and please know that I have some definite take-aways that I plan to use in ny own project to begin in a year or two. With all that attention to detail as well as the wise expediture of some money on the extras, would there be any EMP (accidental or deliberate) that would disable your well thought out plans. As a former Signals O, I was very impressed with your comms! Ham radio and the suite!!! Pretty sheik setup. One suggestion for future videos is maybe ditch the coffee and work with two hands for further efficiency. I don't mind watching your ideas online but if you "ran out of time" (your words😎) you could squeeze more content in like the three man tent. I guess it depends on what you're doing and what effect you want to obtain. The mug was a ready prop for the water demo. Outside of that, it does add a "folksy touch". All around, pretty good video. Very very cool setup inside that beautiful rig! Velox Versutus Vigilans
Dale W Everyone loves that mug :P appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m glad it helped you out with some takeaways. I did see in another channel a review of some “EMP proofing” plug ins. Not sure how that would work but worth looking into I suppose. Best of luck with your rig and shoot me some pics when you get it built on Instagram, (When_the_lights_go_out_) love to check it out. Be well man 👍🏼
Mauricio Moreno. Everything and every day life. All of it is a life style and most of it is about being prepared for the hobbies I have. If you find yourself off-roading somewhere remote with no service. You better have recovery gear Incase you get stuck. That same recovery gear helped to move a tree out of the road in a hurricane. It’s impossible to prepare for everything obviously. But if you arm yourself with dual purpose items. You’ve prepared yourself for most Situations. Stay prepared, stay safe 😎 thanks for watching.
To everyone reading this....In a bugout type of world the currency for will be a gun, ammo, and flak vest. Cause you can have all that but if you can't defend it against the hungry cold dude with a gun then you just prepped for offenders sake and not your own.
Dee Nunya Appreciate it. Just a baofeng. Haven’t dove too deep into the ham radio game yet. But works for vehicle to vehicle comms, which is what I need it for. Carry two separate ones on charge(solar set up) so they can be handed out to different vehicles. If you and your family needed to Bugout communication would be a must. You use Ham at all?
Jeeps not part of the bug out plan(nothing that runs on a depleteing resource.) save for the rifle. All electronics(night vision. Solar. Battery banks) in waterproof faraday bags in the Bugout bag.
Probably one of the most legit rigs I’ve ever seen. Looks to be super capable for nearly any situation. Nice job
Appreciate that. I’ll have to do an update video. Removed the tent. Added a second panel. Fridge/freezer. Onboard water and rain catchment system. It’d be 100% offgrid if I could figure out fuel.
@@FireSydeChats or add a larger fuel tank
Or you could just get a garage with a faraday cage

That's a big watch. What kind is is?
It’s the newest G-shock range man. If you type in G-Shock solar gps it should pop up 👍🏼
I checked it out. Pretty cool. Quote from the Spy Kids movie: Does it tell time???
Lol, haven’t found that function yet. I actually just recently figured out the GPS on it. Has a cool “return to home” function. Leaves breadcrumbs so you can find your way back to your broken down car or your off grid campsite. Worth the price tag so far.
I didn’t see where you had additional fuel storage? If your Jeep is like mine it gulps, not sips fuel. Maybe squeeze in a 5 gallon can somewhere?
Hey Robert. Efficient is not a word that comes to mind with jeeps lol. Not sure if it was in this video but I have a rotopax on the back safari rack. And during hurricane season I have a 10 gal aux tank I could strap on the roof rack( siphon the gas right into the tank from the roof) but that’s only if I knew I had to go the distance. Waiting for the day solar powered jeeps are a thing :P
What do you have for the security of the Jeep? With everything inside and out this would be a hot target, how do you keep it from getting stolen?
Vince hey man thanks for watching. First off the valuables in the truck don’t live in there full time so wouldn’t be anything to steal,but there are a few things I left out on purpose. Without going into great detail: Everything is locked down/bolted to the jeep itself. Have a separate hidden safe inside(also bolted in) not shown in the video with keys. Also In the works with a few welders getting some quick release(from the inside) window cages fabricated couldn’t smash your way in. Effectively turning the entire jeep into a moving vault. All that being said. This is more the search and rescue jeep with all the features you’d need for any foreseeable disaster. There is a time and place for Gray man. Thanks for watching. Let me know if there’s any content you’d like to see for future videos.
When the Lights go Out - What are you running to gain extra power for the Jeep for all the added weight? And is your gearing the stock 3.21? I have a 2017 unlimited sport and I was looking into alarms but I’ve been hearing about sensor alarms, where if someone even puts their hand inside the Jeep with the tops off or windows down that it will go off and disable the jeeps computer system completely, so it can’t be stolen, and notify you by phone instantly, my bug out bag/camping equipment would be a thousand or more loss instantly, not counting the guns that might be inside either depending on where I’m going, mine unfortunately is too big to fit in the garage also, why I was wondering about your security.
Vince I hear ya. Always a gamble no matter what you do. My bugout gear stays at the house. Just have my get Home bag that rides in the back. Hiking boots and the tool set. Everything else I don’t know I’d trust leaving in. Horse power wise only what little I gained from a cold air intake and Pypes high clearance exhaust. So it doesn’t go very fast lol but it’s been able to still power through every obstacle I’ve put it through. Stock gearing as well. Selling the roof top tent though. I’ve only used it twice. I find myself building my own structures or hammock camping off the roof rack most the time. So that’ll save some weight bring me a few mpg back hopefully. I also had the radio put in by bestbuy and had a whole bunch of electrical issues. Just a word of caution before diving into the alarm system.
When the Lights go Out I’ll have to figure something out, might just go back to the dealer and have a factory alarm put on and just be done with it, I get scared because jeeps are just to easy too break into, especially mine which is just the manual windows and locks, the hoods latches are a joke too, I’ve had my damn battery stolen 2 times until I found locking hood latches.
Vince People are insane. I would definitely save yourself the headache and go through the dealer so you don’t void your warranty. Keep in touch let me know what you end up doing security wise and how it goes. Wouldn’t mind some more measures on mine either.
What’s the song ? In the credits last song
jimmylostcozz not sure. It’s royalty free music off UA-cam audio library. Song name should be in the video description. If it’s not then I honestly couldn’t tell you
Cool man. Thanks appreciate the response. Sub’d
jimmylostcozz awesome man. Appreciate it. Wish I could be more specific for ya. Songs on UA-cam are a difficult thing to say the least. Welcome to the channel 😎
right on. when the zombies attack you got the hook up. hey who makes the bar on the dash you attached your ram mounts to.
twowheelslater That’s what it’s really about, we all know that 😎. The bar is from a company called vector off road I believe. But RAM just announced their own vehicle dash tracks. Much more stream lined. I’d look into those if I hadn’t already pulled the trigger on this one
Everything is...so used...or new...or well maintained. Nice
Aleksey gear is important to me, try to keep everything as pristine as possible. Trail riding. Never been into the mudding thing.
What is the bar all the tan mounts connect to called? Is that just in Jeeps?
Shaun Cassady Hey man thanks for watching. The Ram mounts? They bolt on to a vector off-road dashboard. Not sure on the exact name of the product. But vector off-road is the company. Does not come factory with all jeeps unfortunately but opens up a world of possibilities.
what map program and GPS reciever are you using?
Gaia GPS. And the receiver is a dual universal xgps 150
Love this man, I can tell you put a lot of thought into this!!! Great work!
Great video
and awesome jeep. Gave me a few ideas for my jk
David McNaughton awesome, I’m glad to hear that. Thanks for checking out the channel 😎 what year jk?
any info you can share on the battery in the back of the jeep? im about to do that for my solar setup as well.
Nice man. It’s simple. Just an amazon charge controller. Some wires(auto store) make sure you get a red and black. I cheaped out at first and got just black wires. Fried my inverter. (Reversed polarity) Dumb things happen. And he battery is basically a golf cart battery. Bought it at harbor freight. They market it as a dedicated solar battery. But any deep cycle(yellow top) marine battery would work great. 👍🏼
Nice rig.
Sgt G Thank you, she’s been good to me so far 😎
you are definitely prepared if there was a zombie apocalypse
The highest compliment you can give a man 😎
Wow man what a rig and loads of great gear I’m very jealous 😁
Thank you. But don’t be. 8 MPG isn’t all that great :P lol
Sorry for commenting this late but how much do you think you put into your Jeep
Never too late 😎 probably around 10k in extras. Some buddies and I Have done most of the labor so saves a bunch there.
When the Lights go Out thanks man I really appreciate it I’m looking to do something similar
Honestly ebay and amazon can get most of it done for you. Obviously the more specialized things like the expedition dash and roof rack are pricey add ons. But all the lights and extra goodies are mostly just amazon special 😎 work just fine for what I need. Adding some IR lights too for some night vision driving 👍🏼
When the Lights go Out thanks good to know
looks like a nice vehicle to be stolen from you by somebody with more guns - certainly won't go unnoticed :)
They can have it. Terrible on gas and wouldn’t make it far :P man powered Bugout cart 🛒 is the way to go.
With all due respect Im also cave certified wish my stuff looked like that...just saying cheers.👍 Have a great day.
It’s a small tank my man. Used to metal detect for “treasure” nothing below 20 ft. Occasional paddle board trip to the beach with it. That’s the advantage. Light weight and simple to throw on. Not a technical set up by any stretch
Nice rig
Thank you. You too 😎
At a local shopping centre dozens of cars were unable to be opened as the buttons wouldnt unlock the doors. There is some tech already that thieves use that jams the signal and makes them unusable . Its a lot of tech that relies heavily on electronics that could be fried or jammed
awakenlilrabbit until there’s an off-road capable vehicle/daily driver that doesn’t rely on an unsustainable resource (gas) not to worried about vehicles in general. They’re all going to be bullet magnets.
Hello sir,
Loved that setup !
What is that strap system on the interior ceiling of the back ?
Thanks man. It’s just a no name cargo net I found off ebay. Does the job just as well as the expensive name brand ones for a quarter the price. No issues with it👍🏼
@@WhentheLightsgoOut I watched that vid 3 times. Thats a dream setup :)
Mehmet İslam If only I could switch it over to run off solar, I’d be sold on it.
Love ur jeep man very prepared
Josh Hicks Appreciate it brother, do what I can 😎 thanks for checking out the channel.
In New Zealand our trucks never look this new, clean and unused lol. Do you have actual video's of you using the truck?
Something to be said for having pride in your gear and taking care of it. Doesn’t take much for a wash and a wax once in a while. Same goes for your ground gear.
You have a video on that micro dive rig setup?
Working on one. Got an island survival in the works
Where can I find the same projector screen/sun shade thing you had on the side that you pulled down?
The “screen” is a smittybilt 6x8 awning and the projector is just a mini USB projector I picked up at brook stone before the store closed down. Nothing fancy was a floor model. But fits in your pocket and the whole system works great. Have to run it on a larger battery pack though so it doesn’t die in the middle of your movie 🍿
I like your channel look forward to more videos
Josh Kelly thank you, getting another vid out soon. And I’ll put the trauma bag in the que. thanks for watching. 😎
Great video and amazing explanation. It will be great to know more and be more detailed in the trauma kit and obviously any detail on weapons you carry in the car. Blessings my friend...
jorge pelaez Thank you my man. I will work in a trauma video in the future. Weapons I left out purposely for some OP Sec. but always at an arms reach. Thanks for the kind words and checking out the channel 😎👍🏼
Nice video , what watch you got on? Love it
This one is the Casio solar titanium protrek. Recently switched over to the solar gps g-shock Rangeman and never looking back. If you scroll through to the “covert tactical loadout” video, you can get a batter look at it there. Thanks for watching.
Where did you get the bar for your ram mounts ?
Brian B vector off-road.com I believe
Great setup! Q: What brand is the interior cargo net you're using to stow the air purifying bags?
Thank you. It’s a no name brand cargo net off ebay. Much less expensive and, since it’s never exposed to sunlight in my case, works just as well as The pricier ones 👍🏼
@@WhentheLightsgoOut Great thanks!
Awesome Jeep! I just bought one a few months ago and am slowly making changes to it. I added a small flag to the inside from Forever Wave. I’d love a large flag like that on the back but I’m having trouble finding them. I assume there’s some kind of special bracket used to mount that specifically to the back of a Jeep. Where can I find this?
James Hall Hey man. Thanks for watching. It’s actually an exterior flag you would mount outside your house. I got mine at Lowe’s. Ended up using the white mounting bracket it came with and wedged it in my high lift jack mount. Fits perfect.
When the Lights go Out Oh ok! I didn’t realize it was the same flag that you would have on your house. Thanks!
James Hall yep nice and easy. Anytime man
check out truckflagpole.com best and sturdy flag setup I've seen for a jeep
Great vids, Jeep and Gear. I sensed you were in the military seeing your intro video with survival pack and AR.
Edgar -69x Appreciate that brother. Various background but never went the military route.
nice car, nice configuration. I love the USA for that, it's not in Belgium that you can afford it with all the taxes 😅😅
That’s such a shame. Everyone should be able to have man toys
@@WhentheLightsgoOut for sure, I console myself by watching videos. Thanks for sharing
You should look into UHMWPE fabric, install it in your door panels for ballistic doors, it's relatively inexpensive (maybe 50 bucks for a bullet-proof layered (15-20 layers depending) square yard). Of course, it's soft armour, so it'll probably only be good for pistol calibers. But still, it would be really dope to have.
Awesome, I’ll definitely check that out. Appreciate the recommendation 👍🏼
@10:10 “hidden from plain view”.
News flash: I see a vehicle with equipment on top, We are robbing it. Rooftop tent, awning, lights, etc = perfect way to pick off.
If I had the money, a sherp would be my bugout vehicle.
lol There ya go. I wouldn’t mind one myself. We need to convert to solar/electric powered. Only problem with all these vehicles. Can only run for so long.
I gave it a thumbs up. Well narrated and the veh is fabulous! I like the multi-use tent awning for watching videos with that hot date (or even hotter wife and children😁) and/or establishing a shady area. Well thought out with maximum attention to detail. Thanks for that and please know that I have some definite take-aways that I plan to use in ny own project to begin in a year or two. With all that attention to detail as well as the wise expediture of some money on the extras, would there be any EMP (accidental or deliberate) that would disable your well thought out plans. As a former Signals O, I was very impressed with your comms! Ham radio and the suite!!! Pretty sheik setup. One suggestion for future videos is maybe ditch the coffee and work with two hands for further efficiency. I don't mind watching your ideas online but if you "ran out of time" (your words😎) you could squeeze more content in like the three man tent. I guess it depends on what you're doing and what effect you want to obtain. The mug was a ready prop for the water demo. Outside of that, it does add a "folksy touch". All around, pretty good video. Very very cool setup inside that beautiful rig!
Velox Versutus Vigilans
Dale W Everyone loves that mug :P appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m glad it helped you out with some takeaways. I did see in another channel a review of some “EMP proofing” plug ins. Not sure how that would work but worth looking into I suppose. Best of luck with your rig and shoot me some pics when you get it built on Instagram, (When_the_lights_go_out_) love to check it out. Be well man 👍🏼
Awesome channel should have way more subs!!!!
lboneyardl Thank you. We’re climbing slowly, Everyone’s been awesome so far 👍🏼 welcome to the channel.
Hey bro why don't you make videos anymore
Working on it as we speak. This one is going to be a different spin on things. Think you guys are going to like it 👍🏼
...what exactly are you prepping for?
Mauricio Moreno. Everything and every day life. All of it is a life style and most of it is about being prepared for the hobbies I have. If you find yourself off-roading somewhere remote with no service. You better have recovery gear Incase you get stuck. That same recovery gear helped to move a tree out of the road in a hurricane. It’s impossible to prepare for everything obviously. But if you arm yourself with dual purpose items. You’ve prepared yourself for most Situations. Stay prepared, stay safe 😎 thanks for watching.
When the Lights go Out an unexpectedly respectable answer. Thanks 👍🏽
Digging it man! Gave me some good ideas for the ol taco. I'm a diver too! 🤿
Fantastic man. Glad to hear it. Keep adventuring 👊🏼😎
Can you make a video on your trauma bag?
I’ll put it in the works 😎👍🏼
To everyone reading this....In a bugout type of world the currency for will be a gun, ammo, and flak vest. Cause you can have all that but if you can't defend it against the hungry cold dude with a gun then you just prepped for offenders sake and not your own.
What app or service do you use to download maps to use offline
Justin Evans it’s called Gaia GPS. They have a free version and paid.
Tuff looking Truck well thought out Gear and Kìtted out nicely
The Radio is it Ham or a PMR..looks like a Baofeng
Regards
Dee Nunya Appreciate it. Just a baofeng. Haven’t dove too deep into the ham radio game yet. But works for vehicle to vehicle comms, which is what I need it for. Carry two separate ones on charge(solar set up) so they can be handed out to different vehicles. If you and your family needed to Bugout communication would be a must. You use Ham at all?
@@WhentheLightsgoOut Thinking abount it just the Foundation Level , use 446 and FM CB inc SideBand which is now Legal
Dee Nunya Then you’d already know more than I would :P it’s more like an electricians test. The license.
Bug out situation: nuclear bomb detonates nearby... your electronics don’t work...
Jeeps not part of the bug out plan(nothing that runs on a depleteing resource.) save for the rifle. All electronics(night vision. Solar. Battery banks) in waterproof faraday bags in the Bugout bag.
