“ I go out to thrive, not to play some self inflicted version of survivor” couldn’t have said it any better! Totally agree!
And i go out to learn useful skills, learn how much i don't need in society, and enjoy being connected with NATURE instead of stuff.. so whats your point!?Quit insinuating one way is right... its about enjoying YOUR life, not someone else's.
Lol. That was funny.
@@CPLBSS88 it's just this guy's opinion. Settle down.
@@chiphill4856 It is not simply him stating an opinion, his is spouting nonsense in an offensive and derogatory manner. That is not something i'll "settle down" about, mkay... great. Have a nice day.
@@CPLBSS88 Sensitive? This is the internet, Francis.
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.
12v fridge is def a game changer. Night and day difference.
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.
Thanks for posting a list of everything, it makes it so much easier to look at everything in detail!
The radio setup is legendary. Love how it can be disconnected and stored out of the way. Amazing!
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.
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!!
Finally a channel with no nonsense and just practical advice. Thank you 👏
I like that you previewed them rather than just show them packaged up.
Thanks! Please do more of these.
The important thing is just food water and get out there. Some people go overkill by packing everything they own
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!
I really like how you show the product in use!
Thanks Matt, i an always looking forward to you postings. Thanks
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.
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.
Those do work well.
I got the 5 gallon reliance portable sprayer. Let just say it's awesome for washing dishes,the dogs and my self. It works awesome
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 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...
Love that awning. Especially how you don't need guide ropes unless it's windy
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.
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.
(Please don't laugh at me for asking this question)
Is Overlanding the same as Truck Camping?
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!
I've got a 12v blanket and much prefer the diesel heater to heat my whole tent and not just my sleeping area.
I agree with you!
Great idea!
OMGosh... You are so smart... EXACTLY
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 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.
Thanks for the video! It’s awesome!
I live in a 5x8 cargo trailer. Bought a 12v refrigerator. It doesn't use very much power at all. Total game changer
Great video and some good stuff.
I drive truck for a living.
I use the diesel heater in my truck and I also use the fridge. Two good solid items.
Thanks for the gear review
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
Heading over to the Moon shade site now. Thanks for the suggestions.
Love that awning!
I got some good ideas from this video. Nicely done.
thank you for making this vid! This is the first time i have seen this awning, just purchased it.
Cool stuff, great info! Thank you.
I love all the products you’ve showed us today!
Really enjoy your video’s. Lots to learn when it comes to RV’s Cheers Rob
I appreciate you sharing your gear and links to obtain them. Thank you.
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…
I’m so with you on the Coleman folding oven. Biscuits and gravy at camp on a cold morning is amazing
So good!
That moon shade is AWESOME. On my list.
Where’s the link for it?
Awesome job !!
Best Car Camping Video Ive ever seen. Simple and Clear and Essential. Thank you!
Awesome!! Thank you.
Awesome video. Very very good demo!!
Great video. Enjoyed watching this
Thank you.
I have learned so much from you. Planning a solo camping trip soon & need some new gear.
Great information!
Thank you! I’m grateful for your review, product listings and discount codes… boy, they really helped!
Awesome!
I'll be looking forward to seeing you at Moore!
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'.
Matt, I think you make some of the best gear videos, great demos without being too long, and you give examples of how you actually use the gear
Thanks so much!!
My family really appreciate your videos. Good work fam.
Thanks for watching
Awesome video!!!
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.
Awesome information, oh my gosh, gotta get the pillow, 5 lb propane tank AND the oven 🤭
That moon awning is pretty amazing. Solves a lot of issues for us with half racks
Love it, thanks for the reviews ❤️👍❤️👍❤️
I have a ICECO VL60 dual zone and it’s a game changer.
Awesome work, beautifully captured the complete life of a humble vegetable
The moon shade is awesome 👌
I have that specific tank. It’s a good setup!
Try a Purple Cube pillow. It’s pretty small and nothing compares for me. No compromise on the pillow when car camping!
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.
Agreed. We have both and they are worth having for sure!!
Great video! Very informative!
Thank you!
Great video.
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.
If you look on Craigslist,you can get many of these items for half what they cost new. Heck,I just found a $900 canvas tent, sold in 2016, for $150.
Truely enjoyed your video.Very informal I didn’t need to ask ?s you covered it.
That 5lb tank is awesome, I’m getting one of those 👍👍
Some great stuff and ideas! Now have the pillow and water heater on my amazon list. Thanks
Awesome! Thank you!
As someone wanting to start camping and looking for my next vehicle to be overlanding friendly, I am very interested in the topic. Thank you for posting this. Secondly, as someone living in Kentucky, I am very interested to learn about some local spots to enjoy in the state and eventually beyond.
I have gathered you are not in Kentucky, but if you camp here sometimes AND are an Overlander then you’ve earned my sub, sir. Thanks for the informative vids you provide!
great gear! We have been looking at portable power banks! Thanks for the reviews!
Great video. I really think the Moon Shade would good for my family. Thanks!
I am ordering the pillow. 😀
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.
Almost went with a mounted awning but looking at the moon shade I think I am sold. That would be awesome I can put it anywhere!
Thanks for the links. Propane tanks are on sale.
Probably the best gear video I've ever seen! And I never complement videos.
@@ottouring
First you have to have some videos of you going places. Then you can be credible to review gear.
Your gear will help me create a better build for my hurricane supplies. Nice review screw the haters and enjoy yourself
I totally agree with everything in your video, I don't want to FORCE myself to enjoy my vacation 😁👍
Great video. like the propane tank. I have less space in my JK but will find a spot for it.
Flame King makes refillable 1lb tanks, i got 4 of them, one of the best purchases i have made.
Fantastic.
Glad you think so!
Good stuff Matt, most of that is on my list :)
Nice job on your video.
Hmmm, biscuits and sausage gravy. I'm SOLD on the camp oven!!! Going to save this for review when accumulating gear.
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 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
for 12v refrigerator, what is the size of portal battery can last you that long?
@@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.
@@AmericaFirstKorey thank you so much for your information!
@@songbill9287 Not a problem, I've been running an ICECO JP50 for two years now.
@@AmericaFirstKorey
Where can you buy this?
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.
I've got 200ah in my Gladiator now.
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!!
@@brendag2891 it does, you can buy extra wind panels too
@@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.
@@brendag2891 we love it. We have the T8 tent and now the Gazebo. Good value relative to a RTT.
You put me on to those klimate pillows. 🤙🏽👍🏽
The MOORE Expos are a so much fun!!
Did a nice job
Awesome list of equipment, now I need to go shopping 😂🇨🇦
Great video, getting into car camping.
NIce video is great you did a great jo
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.
Yeah that's way more reasonable than what these Overlanders bring.
WHAT!!!!
A French Press Coffee maker ... Camping...
WOW... Great idea.
big storms heading your way. present from dfw
I’m sold on the Moon Shade. Thx
Great video….thanks!!!!
Glad you liked it!
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.
I love it!!
@@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.
@@johnd9357did you ever get a response to this? I am looking at getting the magnets as well.
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 😂😂😂
