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

[@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?

[@SurvivalistChick]

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

[@johnatanpena1746]

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

[@broinsocali]

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

[@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.

[@maximilliancole]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@noahraber2621]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@susankang6995]

My favorite car camping channel. Thanks for posting !

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Hey thanks Susan, I appreciate your support!

[@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!

[@Debrajoy]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@amandamarr5547]

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

[@flyguy2021]

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

[@NYMikeandMore]

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

[@jodibillingsley]

Thank you for including links! Always helpful 🧡

[@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.

[@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?

[@mjcfsutton]

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

[@dabeger]

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

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.

[@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.

[@trevorjames758]

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

[@Jcthered]

Thanks man! Good stuff as always.

[@kazukinuhata9606]

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

[@AdventureswithJerrod]

Thanks for the tips! Enjoyed!

[@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.

[@WATCHLLS]

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

[@MrCody7006]

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

[@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...

[@virginiacruiser.7989]

Great, straightforward and experienced based. Nice stuff.

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

always interesting to see others favorite gears and gadgets!

[@ReneaDooserider]

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

[@Justafonso]

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

[@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)

[@minhhop3208]

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!

[@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...

[@Outdoorswithmike]

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

[@mercurials54]

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

[@ExploringCanadaInfo]

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

[@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👍

[@MrAmonAmoniasty]

Świetny materiał - pomocny 👏✌️

[@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!

[@chrirule]

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

[@larrymcafee7481]

First time watcher…excellent concise video!

[@jasonmyers568]

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

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Thanks for the continued support, Jason!

[@61cheezil]

Awesome vid thanks!

[@tomgardner6294]

Great suggestions thanks

[@carolthiessen6072]

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

[@drpeekster]

Great video. Thanks!

[@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

[@rangerdoc1029]

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

[@sharkiesgirl8929]

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

[@phildeseve]

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

[@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!

[@randyehrick8011]

Great! Really appreciate it!

[@mayaflynnster]

Lol...the last line...closed captions said:"...because nobody likes surface chairs!" Rollin' Great advice as well: Gas first, then gear. Loved it!

[@ChaseChristopher1]

Haha good, my voice muting hid the not-KZbin-friendly word

[@jasongray4969]

2 videos in a week? We are blessed. Keep up the great work!

[@Glenn.Cooper]

A lot of great ideas - thanks!

[@DiabloOutdoors]

Simple, honest and cool!

[@cigguti2147]

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

[@daneofarrell9460]

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

[@iamjunebug]

I love Radiate fires! I camp in my Forester 😀

[@donnamount151]

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

[@daveshotgarage]

Love this need to get some of these gadgets !!

[@kemp4vt]

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

[@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

[@Gocamp7]

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

[@godofbroccoli]

Love the content I subscribed 💯🤙

[@enzofarias6717]

Thanks for the video!

[@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.

[@MrTomato35]

Great video, thank you!

[@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.

[@tinamarie1333]

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

[@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?

[@averypless]

Loved the shovel monologue 😂 Such a handy tool!

[@Readymagazine]

Great video, thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@allyfrasier6306]

Really great list!

[@traceyembrey8239]

All fabulous advice Thank you

[@ChaseChristopher1]

You bet!

[@KatandzR]

Thank you.. Great ideas

[@DavidParsons3]

Another great video! Keep it up!

[@jonathanrusse357]

Great video brotha🤙🏽

[@brytung490]

Love having the bug nets for my rear windows.

[@platypusbear9128]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@deaddropsd1972]

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

[@broke_runner6953]

Cheers pal from the UK

[@JennBX1]

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

[@stevesmith3556]

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

[@lwilletteful]

Thanks for posting

[@MIRAJADESIGN]

I appreciate this. Well done.

[@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.

[@joweemac]

Great information Thanks
