Fall Overland Gear that Doesn't Suck | TOP 10!

[@OXFOOT]

I made an amazon list for all the stuff talked about in this video; www.amazon.com/shop/oxfoot/list/EWA4EP0W0EX

I’m a fan of the Darn Tough brand wool socks. They really live up to their name.

[@OXFOOT]

I actually have a few pairs. It’s the one with the mountain peaks on them right? I like those ones too!

[@OXFOOT]

They are really great but they weren’t sharp either if I remember correctly. About the same as smart will if not a little more. Maybe they are better made though.

[@ryanmoore686]

I love my Darn Tough. Original got them for riding socks, and now have replaced most my socks with them.. and you also have to love American made and lifetime warranty.

[@vegvisiroverland]

For cold weather I now include an alpaca wool blanket in the tent. Last winter I had an overnight where I forgot I left a skylight window in my RTT open and felt the cold air blowing in (we had been drinking a bit before turning in, so wasn't exactly being smart). I think it got just below 20F that night. I wore some thick clothing but burrito-ing myself in the wool blanket kept me warm all night. There was even a bit of ice by my face in the morning where I was exhaling moisture. Alpaca wool is just as insulative as sheep's wool, but far softer (no itch!). Lesson learned, check all the windows before turning in for the night :) Also, we just used our diesel heater, based on your diesel heater video, for the first time a couple weeks ago. While the temps got down to just below 40F-ish, we had to take off the sleeping bags and even open a window. It was very warm in the tent! Thanks for your videos!

[@OXFOOT]

I’ll have to check out a hood alpaca blanket and maybe try it out. Love wool blankets for sure. And also glad the diesel heater is working out!

[@OXFOOT]

The diesel heater basically means you have to bring some light blankets also because it is so dang warm at night

[@tentsrus6945]

Where did you get the hanging bracket for your Chinese Diesel Heater? Great option!

[@OXFOOT]

It was diy. I have a video explaining it a bit more. BEST Diesel Heater Set-Up for Winter Camping | Vevor Tools kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYW0ZZhrnKmeetE

[@tentsrus6945]

@@OXFOOT TU man. I will watch it right away!

[@tentsrus6945]

Do you power the heater pump with your Blue Eddy or some sort of solar gennie?I have a Jackery 1500, 500 and a 300. Wondered how much power it consumes during say an 8 hour night or do you not typically run it while you are sleeping?

[@OXFOOT]

@@tentsrus6945 it’s not a ton of power consumption. I used a 2000 watt eco flow. It uses maybe 10amps at start up for like 3 minutes and then like 1-2 amps after that. It’s 12v so you can use a wattage calculator to figure out how long your battery will last on it. I’d average it out to like 1.7 amps over a 8hr period with 12volts.

[@Ninjalisha]

Informative video, per usual!

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks!

[@chriskenmotsu9]

@Oxfoot, Jason greatly appreciate your time and effort to bring us your in depth fall camping gear, see you on the next one 👍 stay safe and safe travels brahda 👍 🤙✌ 👊

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks so much for the comments as always. Really appreciate what you bring to the community.

[@brianmabin5947]

Thank you Jason, this was a very informative video and as such, now I need to go watch more of your videos so I can reset my gear for this coming year. Great advice and products, thanks again and God bless!

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks so much! I really do appreciate the kind words, makes this all worth it lol. I’ll have some more gear stuff coming up so stick around if you want to see that.

[@brokenrockadventures]

Let's do this. We're ready.

[@OXFOOT]

Hell yeah see you there!

[@ronald8874]

Really like your content,wanting to get out in the snow!!

[@OXFOOT]

I’ll have tons of winter camping stuff coming up. Doing a winter camping shakedown trip soon to test all the new winter gear out.

[@ronald8874]

@@OXFOOT I was out last weekend for four days,snowed at home but not where I was camping. The diesel heater from vevor worked great!!

[@OXFOOT]

@@ronald8874 that’s awesome. Love those things. I want to try to test out some kerosene this year as it has a lower freezing temp. I’ll have to see how it performs since everyone keeps hyping it up.

[@docric]

Great list thanks for sharing

[@OXFOOT]

No problem!

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Thanks for the video 👍

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@RuffnItOutdoors]

Tons of good info

[@OXFOOT]

Thanks so much!

[@eljefeslash]

Thanks for another great list of tips. I’m especially interested in the fridge and portable charging station (hadn’t seen either of those brands yet). I just need something for a weekend at most. Do you think a power station like that be able to charge the fridge all weekend if it were used exclusively? Thx

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah that size should be plenty. I ran my fridge off of an 800watt power bank for 2.5 days so 1480 should be enough. Granted what ever other power needs you have might change that. Let’s say you’re running a heater off if it all night, charging your phone, and fridge you’ll likely be using a ton of it where as just a fridge you’ll be fine.

[@eljefeslash]

@@OXFOOT perfect. I just bought a Mr Buddy Portable, so I’d be running propane for that. Looks like that would work out great. Thanks

[@OXFOOT]

@@eljefeslash yeah me buddy is good just make sure to air out the tent after and let it dry. It leaves a tad more condensation.

[@jonathanneethling]

Hey Jason, I am big fan of the channel. I really enjoy your vlogs. Please, Please, 🙏 tell me the short cut keys your used to disable/turn off the left zone, or the right zone? ☮️ 👍🏻🇿🇦 Jonathan Cape Town South Africa PS: We’re heading into summer now. But I like your winter tips. I just bought a new trailer. So will be hitting the bush most weekends… I’ll post a link.

[@OXFOOT]

Can you clarify what you mean by the “disable/turn off the left or right zone”? Maybe I could help.

[@OXFOOT]

Oh nice! I forget that half the planet is on opposite schedule from us Americans!

[@jonathanneethling]

So my fridge has the same electronic panel as yours. It’s a dual zone fridge. Ie: 2 doors/compartments that can run at different temps. There was a short cut sequence that I could do that would turn off either the left or right compartment when not needed.

[@OXFOOT]

@@jonathanneethling so mine is one large compartment and a basket/ removable divider for the freezer. It’s either a fridge and freezer or just a fridge. There’s no second compartment on mine that can be turned off that I know of. Maybe I’m wrong though. Since it’s always one compartment with a divider I would assume that it can’t be turned off.

[@stevend9124]

I'm seriously thinking about buying one of those diesel heaters. And your first aid kit attached to your head rest is awesome. But it's not on your list did you outfit it yourself?

[@OXFOOT]

I should mention that the menu is annoying to learn but once you learn it, it’s a great heater. Also going to be trying kerosene in the diesel heater this winter as a lot of folks have mentioned that it’s better at lower temps.

[@ThePlseguin]

Hey Jason, what is that tire mount you used on the diesel heater?

[@OXFOOT]

Depends on what width tire you have but this should work. I also have a video on how I made that set up. amzn.to/3U5HmGI

[@brandtdaniels]

Do you have any recommendations for what to pack clothes in when camping? My wife and I have been using a suitcase, but I think it’s way too bulky.

[@OXFOOT]

Hard to say what will work for everyone but I usually just pack a duffle and roll my shirts and pants so I can easily find stuff. It’s tougher to get to I think but it’s soft and kind of molds to the stuff around it.

[@OXFOOT]

But what works for me might not work for you.

[@OXFOOT]

Maybe something like the big organizer in this? amzn.to/3zbIfFz

[@brandtdaniels]

I have heard someone mention packing cubes before!

[@Turtlemilk]

For sleeping bags, what do you recommend ? The traditional sleeping bags or the canvas versions ? And also, if I’m just casually camping 1-2 maybe 3 days, I can just grab one of those big YETI coolers right ? Instead of those electric ones?

[@OXFOOT]

So as far as the sleeping bag goes it depends. Canvas sleeping bags are pretty heavy and bulky but if you got your hands on one at a good price they aren’t bad. A lot more durable but I’ve never really used one outside of when I was really young. I think a regular one is probably fine with Ripstop.

[@OXFOOT]

Sure if you have good ice or something you can do that. Let’s just say I have a yeti and it’s currently on a table it’s been on the last two years. They work but I like the fridges way more. But yeah for a night or two you’d be just fine.

[@Turtlemilk]

@@OXFOOT do you plug the fridge in an external power supply ? Or what

[@ryanmoore686]

If you use hand warmers alot zippo makes some that you can just refill

[@OXFOOT]

I keep seeing those. Have you tried them? I keep hearing how good they are but something about having fuel loosely in my pocket scares me a bit. Maybe I don’t understand how it works though.

[@ryanmoore686]

@@OXFOOT ya i got some for moto camping, and they definitely work for me.. at first I was skeptical as fuel and fire, but I never smell it and its basically flameless

[@davidoutside]

i always love these uploads. such a good series, especially for stuff that oxfoot actually uses. can't stand the guys that review new stuff just for the sake of new stuff. but man the uptalk at the end of each sentence is so distracting!

[@OXFOOT]

Yeah a lot of it is just from the fact that I have to cut mid sentence so I’m never ending in the completed down part of the sentence. I do also kinda do it in real life while I’m recording but it’s because in normal conversation I’m not thinking so hard so I complete the thought on a down talk. It’s something that’ll become less common the more I’m in front of a camera.

[@JayElement13]

There’s no way I could use heated gloves I burn up in my goose down mittens

[@OXFOOT]

What part of the country do you live in? I’ve been in negative temps in November many times where I am. Who makes the goose down mittens? I own a lot of down stuff but my old down gloves from LLBean busted while camping.

[@MIAMIC70]

Let’s make this a drinking game. Every time the shill says Ignik take a shot. Fucking KZbinrs.

Lol I’m not even sponsored by them. I just like their stuff. But you being mad about it is certainly an option.
