So Glad stumbled upon this video! 2023 TRD Tacoma 4x4 looking for cool stuff, Thx! Subscribed!

[@thejohnhend]

Probably the best gear review I’ve seen lots of cool gear I’ve never seen before.

[@KentWood-OptimizeUTennis]

Good stuff man...i added alot from this video to my "future buy list spreadsheet"...I do like that you promo what you use!

[@AsaWildman]

I've been using Fenix lights for probably around 15 years now, can't go wrong with their lights.

[@IndependenceOverland]

I was using Zebra lights when I was doing more backcountry hunting. They mounted like the Fenix light do, but they didn’t have red light modes which was a huge downside. The Fenix lights seam ideal for my use.

We got the UnPlug bags a couple of months ago for our trip up to Tuktoyuktuk in this August. Space is at a premium in the LC200 losing with the back seat to our two pups and these are the perfect bags for the roof rack! Have only used them once so far, but yes they are perfect!! They are bulletproof for sure!

[@IndependenceOverland]

They really are bad ass bags. They look good too!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Great recommendations man! Hest stuff is really great.

[@Landcruiseroverland]

You forgot the best gift the trailhunter 💪 just got a white one and it’s amazing even compared to our 200 it’s very capable. For the Kinetic rope it’s hard to beat the yankum rope and it’s made in Idaho

[@Wklambert]

I keep hearing about Hest. Their stuff seems pretty legit. I might have to get the wife some of that seat cushion for Christmas

[@IndependenceOverland]

I’m proud to say I was an early adopter of their brand, and they have now grown quite a bit and work with lots of creators. I have yet to have anyone say they aren’t blown away by their stuff. If you get the seat cushion, you’ll end up with the mattress! Top notch stuff!

[@trailheadjunkie]

They are ridiculously over priced but once you own one you will understand why we bought them.

[@BrandonBaecker]

I don't have their comforter, but their pillows and mattresses are amazing. Super comfortable memory foam that doesn't get hard as a rock in the cold. If you winter camp at all, their pillows are a must! Also, great company with great customer service. I wanted mine a little more firm and they sent me more foam for free, NQA.

[@Gazziza29]

@@trailheadjunkieIf the product is worth it then I don’t think it’s overpriced. I own two hest pillows, two of their foamy pads, their dog bed, sheets, and just bought their down comforter. It’s expensive no doubt but not overpriced. Compared to the competition who are trying to catch up the Hest, I think it’s competitively priced. Also be sure to always purchased it while on sale. I’ve always bought it when they are 20-25% off so it makes the expense a little more justifiable.

[@HeyBabyPod]

Gonna grab that espresso maker for my wife and maybe she'll forgive the dozens of other items I've purchased after watching your stuff. LOL

[@IndependenceOverland]

Combine it with Bones Coffee and it’s incredible! 🤌

[@HeyBabyPod]

@ 😂😂 I was no-kidding just looking at their Black Friday sales.

[@subdivooverland]

What about a camp table, what do you use?

[@IndependenceOverland]

I have one of the cheap typical fold up tables with legs you have to assemble. I hate it and rarely ever use it, I just use the drop down table I installed on the Fj rear door. I am very much looking forward to having the Alucab table for the truck.

[@BrandonBaecker]

You know that little Fenix light also has red mode? :D I love my Fenix lights.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yes sir! I use it when I’m doing Astro photography so I stop blinding myself 😂

[@BrandonBaecker]

@@IndependenceOverland cool, just wanted to make sure people knew they didn't need to get the big boy to get red mode. :)

[@IndependenceOverland]

@ oh yeah I should have mentioned that, thank you. The little 50 is cheaper, and more useful because it’s lightweight.

[@BrandonBaecker]

@@IndependenceOverland yeah, I also have the big boy with the 3rd strap and rarely use it cause it's so heavy and big. It's really useful for trailside repairs or anything where you need a crapton of light though! 😆Great gear guide!

[@BrandonBaecker]

So I do have a flexible regulator hooked into a big tank adapter that I'm using with the Genesis to get rid of the janky metal one. I can't remember which one it is, but I think it's either the Camp Chef one or the Kovea Slim Twin one (different sizes). I'll have to do some research by plugging it into my old stoves to see which one I took it from. Flexible regulators are so much better.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Yeah i am going to try to do the same off the new camper propane tank once I get that all rigged up. The little brass adapter screams “afterthought”. Overall though, I do love that stove.

[@TheOffroadCamper]

Yeah, I’m a little upset about the HardKorr lights distribution change as I have lights that are still under warranty that need to be replaced, also the combination of the magnetic and the bungee mounts were an optimal solution for my full-time adventure life. Curious what you think about the Fenix.

[@IndependenceOverland]

Fenix is top notch stuff. Very well built, and I really appreciate that they are USB-C rechargeable, while having a replaceable battery. So like a lot of gadgets in today’s world, once the battery dies it’s not junk. I’ve got I think 8 (ridiculous I know) Fenix lights now and I am very happy with them all.

[@Wooderson73]

@independenceoverland if you transport 1 lb propane cylinders, how do you do it? Do you use a pelican case, for example?

[@IndependenceOverland]

I put their cap on, and put them in the netted pockets on my spare tire bag. They just serve as backups for me.

[@ADanNeedsAName]

Noooooo! I was going to pull the trigger on the onward headrest organizers and they're all sold out!

[@IndependenceOverland]

I saw that the other day too, it’s an error on the website. If you go to “shop all” and scroll around, you’ll find another listing for them that isn’t sold out.

[@ADanNeedsAName]

@@IndependenceOverland sweet! thanks bud

[@coondog25]

Going camping let's take wheres the kitchen sink be more useful

[@IndependenceOverland]

I don’t think a sink is all that useful when camping to be honest 🤷‍♂️
