Whats something you won't go camping without? As always, thanks for the continued support! 🙏

[@reapertalon]

A gopro

[@ChaseChristopher1]

@@reapertalon Ahhh a fellow video geek. I concur!

[@Chase_Schrader]

@@reapertalon This! Well, plus the 3 other cameras

[@ChaseChristopher1]

@@Chase_Schrader 😂 Same. And a million batteries

[@Chase_Schrader]

@@ChaseChristopher1 Naw just one spare for everything and an inverter! Did 5 days in the backcountry and didn't have an issue haha

[@broinsocali]

Been car camping for little under a year now. Love it. Takes me to my happy place. Good stuff.

[@SurvivalistChick]

Nice and concise; straight to the point(s). No rambling on and on. THANK YOU!

[@susankang6995]

My favorite car camping channel. Thanks for posting !

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Hey thanks Susan, I appreciate your support!

[@EvieVermont]

I’m going to go out in the Spring, if all goes well. I have some similar items, and haven’t some of the others you showed here. Awesome table, awning and the small charger w/ multiple plugs. Great video. Thanks. And also? Thanks for telling folks that they don’t NEED all the expensive items and things you have and encouraging them/us to get out there, regardless, eh?

[@friskywildthing]

Folding shovel (trenching too), axe or large knife, small knife, fire starting tools (lighter, ferrocium rod, flint & steel), IFAK, whistle or pocket horn, bear spray, firearm...

[@maximilliancole]

Awesome set up. Only thing I could recommend would be netting in the ceiling for soft goods attic storage

[@jodibillingsley]

Thank you for including links! Always helpful 🧡

[@johnatanpena1746]

Thank you for this video !!! I loved the way you advertised the items but always keeping the camping spirit alive !!! 🔥 Respect

[@fitness..moveyoullgetit5832]

I can attest to this video (after finishing a 5.5 week roadtrip a week ago) that the aeropress, MRS pocket rocket, and bug screens/window blackouts (made by "Qualizzi") were some of the most essential equipment. Also Yeti knockoff cooler from Aldi was great. Good cooking pans too.

Well said, i agree with all. What helped me most was the jetboil (clone), saw for wood, jackery (ecoflow) with solar panel from which i can run fridge much longer now, and smaller power banks. What you missed and i feel is important is sleeping - having a thick matrass or sleeping pad, and a good pillow (still searching for something small yet soft and comportable). The candle in a box is awesome, never heard of it.

[@flyguy2021]

Great list of things I mostly already have. Inreach, Gaia, jump starter, jackery,etc.

[@chrismodski6284]

Great info. Thank you. I didn't know about the portable campfire. Have to add my two cents on one item: NOCO Boost Plus reminded me of my Schumacher SL1315. USB outputs, flashlight... quite similar. And it is SO great to have in the ol' kit!

[@noahraber2621]

I needed this video! Thanks for the always helpful content Chase!

[@donnaphillips8248]

I can’t camp without my 8” cast iron skillet. It’s small but mighty! Just tried your hot water bottle tip for cold weather camping and it was a game changer!

[@amandamarr5547]

About to head out on the road myself - This is a HUGE help. Thank you!

[@Jonathan-rm6kt]

Thanks for the great list, man. the magnetic lights are something I wouldn't have ever thought about. And solid message to just get out there, for folks who like to overplan like me.

[@TheJoyfulEye]

thanks for these tips on gear --- very helpful. Some of my ancestors were pioneers who went to Ohio in a covered wagon (I am researching my family tree right now) and they got along fine without any techie stuff (if they hadn't I wouldn't be here now), so your observation at the end is so true, I think ---- if you can't afford all the gadgets now, you can still camp out the old-school way and acquire them bit by bit.

[@kimkelley9269]

Nice gear reviews! I've had 2 Subaru Outback's (both my wife's cars) and I've found that upgrading the battery to a larger amp hour unit is well worth the cost. I went with the Interstate MTZ-34 AGM for my wife's 2019 Outback.

[@NYMikeandMore]

Just found your channel! Love it! Thanks for this and keep these camping videos coming!

[@hektik2200]

Thanks for putting out this type of content. Recently purchased an Outback Wilderness and super inspired by your DIY platform video. Have any tips for someone wanting to try and make a build like that but doesn’t know the first thing about carpentry, etc?

[@dabeger]

The radiate campfire things are awesome. Been using them for years.

[@mjcfsutton]

THANKS! Subscribed, hit notifications, and ordered three items from your selection!! Glad I found you.

[@mobeltass]

Nice video! Very similar to the gear that I use with my Outback, I even have the same mosquito nets. Although I would like to add that a water purifier/filter bottle is very handy if you don't want to fill your car with large jugs (especially in winter when they freeze) but wanna get water along the way. Also a hot water bottle, that's gold to put in your sleeping bag on cold nights. I might also add that the NOCO can be used as a power bank for charging your phone as well. ...oh! and a small shovel, for when you get snowed in. There are these foldable ones that don't take up much space but are still really good.

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

Thanks for the tips! Enjoyed!

[@brandonsprung5114]

Great vid! A lot of the stuff I have and some things that I still want to get. Just from what I've seen other youtubers do if your snow camping with the awning, lower one side of the pole to create an angle to let the snow run off.

[@Debrajoy]

I absolutely love gadgets of all kinds! But especially ones that are really useful!

[@ReneaDooserider]

Thank you love all your ideas. Merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@alanrobisonPD1960]

Great job, just signed up to your channel!! Love the gadget’s, thanks for doing all the homework on the offered items so that we don’t have to. You’re well spoken and your range of items described are great. Keep you the hard work, I know it’s difficult to edit footage just for our enjoyment. This is Alan, greetings from Riverside in Southern California.

[@jillcockrum1240]

I have those window nets and l love them. Not only to keep the bugs out but as a solo camper they offer some privacy, If you don't have them, get them.

[@Justafonso]

I just stumbled upon your channel and what a peaceful, chilled vibe!👌 subscribed

[@MrCody7006]

Never stop the adventure! Id like to see a review on that cozy mustache next. Nice vids Chase keep up the good work!

[@jacobh4553]

Hey I was wondering if you had any advice on essential recovery/emergency equipment you carry? I camp very similarly to you in my crosstrek, generally going to trails and not doing hardcore off-roading. Wondering what is actually necessary for me

[@Jcthered]

Thanks man! Good stuff as always.

[@heidiq2777]

I appreciate your honest reviews on gadgets. What camp shovel do you like/recommend? Do you use a multi-tool shovel? or just a straight shovel?

[@tinamarie1333]

This was so helpful! I’m curious what size Jackery you would recommend? Thank you so much!

[@virginiacruiser.7989]

Great, straightforward and experienced based. Nice stuff.

[@WATCHLLS]

Really enjoy your video’s. Lots to learn when it comes to RV’s Cheers Rob

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

That's the battery jumper I use, I just love it!

[@trevorjames758]

Just got a new Crosstrek, your videos are giving me great ideas!

[@minhhop3208]

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@just_me656]

I started following you. your info is so valuable to me I was inspired to get out started looking for a Subaru outback here we go...

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Love the camping gear awesome and I also like the satellite texting device be good for in the bush when you’re alone 👋🏽👍🏽

[@cigguti2147]

Your videos are amazing, simple, to the point, and constructive, not to mention your skills with drone aerial views. One item I haven't seen you talk about - or anybody else for that matter - is about releasing yourself, portable toilets or anything that is practical to carry with you or simply how to protect the environment. Keep those great videos coming.

[@edwardomunoz2343]

Check out backpacking bidets for leave no trace practice. There are some videos on KZbin about it on backpacking or bikepacking channels. If you car camp then composting toilet would be my recommended choice

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

In bear country you’ll want to use a portable electric bear fence. Keeps the campsite secure for peace of mind and good nights’ sleep.

[@sedg03]

Saw that in oregon where they had quite a problem w mountain lions. Motion detector lights w portable electric fence.

[@rangerdoc1029]

ARB makes a tent/screen room that attaches to that awnimg. It's my #1 favorite gear.

[@rachael11]

The fire can reminds me of a buddy burner, but using those Christmas cookie tins. We have the bug nets. Can't go without them. Also got pop out sun shades for the front and back windows.

[@SuperHappyHater]

Hey your channel is awesome. Started following a couple weeks ago when I built out my car and it's been super helpful. Was stoked when I heard you mention your fire experience as I've been applying to a bunch of fire crews for the 2022 season including a couple in Fairbanks. Have you talked about that anywhere else on your channel?

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks, Davis! Very cool, you'll love Alaska! I do not have any other videos talking about fire at this point.

[@brytung490]

Love having the bug nets for my rear windows.

[@iamjunebug]

I love Radiate fires! I camp in my Forester 😀

[@carolthiessen6072]

And, you actually listed in your notes every product. I will be following you closely, thank you!

[@kazukinuhata9606]

Thank you for the all info. I got the portable fire pit on Amazon. Looking forward to using it at home by pool ;)

[@larrymcafee7481]

First time watcher…excellent concise video!

[@phildeseve]

Good video. I like to have a cafeteria tray handy for cooking and putting cups on.

[@mercurials54]

The portable fire and chainsaw is what I’ve been wanting, adding to the Christmas list 🎅

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

always interesting to see others favorite gears and gadgets!

[@cigguti2147]

I don't know how I missed about the shovel 🤣 basic and useful !

[@TheChefpoe]

I use one of those led motion light in my cooler. attached it to the lid with Velcro. also have the window nets for the dogs too.

[@Glenn.Cooper]

A lot of great ideas - thanks!

[@DiabloOutdoors]

Simple, honest and cool!

[@Gocamp7]

Nice to meet you. It's cold winter but warm camping videos are the best. I'll look around often.^^

[@averypless]

Loved the shovel monologue 😂 Such a handy tool!

[@donnamount151]

"love" my Anker...Very dependable, excellent quality, I have several Anker products...

[@bryanshoemaker6120]

Sunjack, the best backpacking solar panel, battery packs, various lights and other things. I've been using their products for years and I swear by them.

[@dogflirt]

Great video man. Subscribed!! Simply for the fact that you’re relatable and not looking like a high strung salesman lol 😂 (A bunch of these KZbinrs are starting to all sound alike)

[@chrirule]

I've never seen those screens before! Why didn't I think of that? 😂 Great vid

[@sharkiesgirl8929]

Window bug nets are awesome .waiting something like that forever... 👍👍👍

[@ForeverSkiing]

Can you make a part 2? We have very similar taste and I found this video very useful for discovering new gear. There's a lot of videos out there about best camping gear but they're usually from channels called "top ten camping" or "survival tips" etc. They are usually very generic. None of the gear is actually tested by them and it often includes amazon knockoff items that are not great. This video is significantly more useful. I spend a lot of time researching new gear but there is always something new to discover and try. Keep up the videos, excellent content!

[@kemp4vt]

Nice list! Especially the saw. I got a few things but the link to the charging cord may be dead. Cheers! Nice channel.

[@Readymagazine]

Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

The silky saw is so lightweight. But mighty. I use my jackery battery camping or at home when we’ve had power outages. I have the solar panels to recharge it as well. I keep water jugs in my car at all times cuz they come in handy for so many things. Great as a hand washing station at camp as well as a way to fetch and store cooking and drinking water.

[@ChaseChristopher1]

I agree! Good insight, thanks!

[@dorcasowens1210]

What kind of fuel is in the Radiate Portable CAMP Fire? I have six metal tins about that size. I would like to make these for my kids and grandkids. I enjoyed your gear review. Blessings, peace and safety in your travels.

[@Chase_Schrader]

Gaia is the best! I use it all the time when we are out overlanding here in Canada!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Yes it is! Can't beat the trip data it gives you👍

[@drpeekster]

Great video. Thanks!

[@tomgardner6294]

Great suggestions thanks

[@annamarieh333]

Loved all of them! Which size table do you have? I looked on your Amazon link and they have 3 sizes. I liked your size!! Thanks

[@zumezoom9593]

are you satisfied with your Subaru ? what's better, forrester, out back or crosstrek ? how's the AWD system? reliable ? will you plan on lifting and upgrading the tires for higher clearance ?

[@daneofarrell9460]

Really good stuff. Not just generic stuff like everyone always says but still super awesome

[@traceyembrey8239]

All fabulous advice Thank you

[@ChaseChristopher1]

You bet!

[@kennethstarr5545]

Good gear! You should have mentioned if you don’t need it now don’t buy unless it’s Black Friday, Cyber Monday or a good sale. I bought my inreach mini for $250 at an REI sale. They are usually $350.

[@platypusbear9128]

Wonderful video, very informative with great product suggestions and a touch of humor. 👍

[@sagrariogarcia9082]

Hey I have a question as to what storage container you had there beside you. The green one.. I'm looking for something like that to store on my platform.

[@stevesmith3556]

Propane fire pit has been nice when there are fire restrictions. IDK if that candle box fire would pass muster where I live.😊

[@MrTomato35]

Great video, thank you!

[@blizzyhan]

A halo battery jumper is super nice, it also can inflate your tires and use for charging devices

[@JennBX1]

Great video and info! I am really interested in the apps. Also like that little saw. 👍👍👍

[@61cheezil]

Awesome vid thanks!

[@manny3904]

Thanks for the tips, I am also a gear geek lol. My wife hates it! But not when those things come in handy while camping.

[@enzofarias6717]

Thanks for the video!

[@johnsilver228]

Bro I’ve been raving about your video and thought shoot man we’re pretty similar then realized you do wildland haha makes sense, thisll be my first season on a fuel crew

[@deaddropsd1972]

RADIATE is GOLD! We used it last winter & my buddies were so glad I did!!!

[@jasonmyers568]

Always look forward to your new videos. Jackery for sure!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for the continued support, Jason!

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

I appreciate this. Well done.

[@daveshotgarage]

Love this need to get some of these gadgets !!

[@thecrowfliescrooked]

That there VSSL magig is damn cool.

[@dirtcopdualsport]

I love that campfire candle

[@surfinwaves4769]

Thanks for the tips! With your Silky Pocket saw, how often do you need to sharpen it? And is it something you can do yourself (sharpening) given the opposing teeth? It looks great…. Just thinking of the practicalities 😄🙏

[@randominternetguy4548]

Silky saws are not really made to resharpen if I recall correctly. They are more-so a replaceable/consumable blade.

[@allyfrasier6306]

Really great list!

[@zsolovyev]

Thank you very mcuh for a very detailed review and espesially for web links ;)
