[@arronmclean]

Just found your Channel. Refreshing to see good content from a 4wd / overlanding channel. Seems to all be 100K rigs and 50K trailers (especially here in oz). Good to see someone showing that you don't need an Engel fridge and custom drawers to get out there. Well done bro!

[@Patrick-yh3oi]

Agreed. You can get a lot of tent (or tents) and gear for the $150k for a hopped up truck and camper.

[@jonathanmcphail5254]

Love all your stuff. This one too. However it made me laugh. "This is all I'm taking and all you need." You close it up and I think "except for all your gear on the roof and rear bumper." Ha

[@OverlandBound]

Haha!

[@wc1500]

Seconded

[@jonhartford8332]

I also bring a "idon'tknowwhatthehellthatis", you never know.

[@slomatt]

What happens if your clothes or boots get wet or damaged? It is always a good idea to bring at least one spare set of clothes, especially in the colder seasons when having wet clothes could potentially become a dangerous situation. I'm all for minimal packing, but not at the expense of safety. Underwear is your own call... :)

[@slimpickings3763]

"Mountain Money :) " I thought my grandfather was the only one to say that lol. Great video!

[@OverlandBound]

Thank you! :)

[@stevecoscia]

You are my new hero! :-) Love this video. I've been camping and trekking about 4 years now, and seeing your packing method added much-needed objectivity. It's good to see how others do this. Great ideas!

[@rob2010maldonado]

We always gotta bring the baby wipes for us adults.

[@WilbanksUSMC]

ive spent alot of time living outside and can confirm, baby wipe bath once a week is SO refreshing

[@ejRecording]

get the most organic and disposable/biodegradable ones

[@Greg-ys8wq]

even more important is knowing whats in and how to use the first aid kit! haha

[@EliyahuYHWH]

Good one Michael, I usually take too much and then I'll be heavy. I like to try and travel lite, so looking forward to the Minimalist Video as well. Three things: Food, Water and Shelter.

[@tomworthington4135]

Ready to go! Awesome

[@rockymountainbackcountry1588]

Thanks man, I seriously Liked this vid more than a lot of others. Fun, Light, and just cool stuff. Makes it easy!!!!

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I started overlanding on motorcycles, so a duffel and an offroad worthy vehicle is my literal minimum requirement (did several cross-continental trips with this setup). I have learned to appreciate the space a larger machine offers to enjoy the better things in life, like a chair. Love the channel. Cheers.

[@jdubshizzle]

"I don't know what the hell that is" haha. It's the base that goes on the jetboil gas so it doesn't tip over. Great video! Helped me reconsider my needs especially with tools, I always bring way too many tools!

[@rostamr4096]

Great video as always. Thanks

[@H.pylori]

Sir, that orange triangular piece of plastic that you threw into the kitchen pile is part of the JetBoil system. It is used to stabilize the 4 and 8 ounce fuel canisters, especially when used on uneven surfaces. The plastic arms fold out and provide a platform that locks into the base of the canister. So, do not throw it away! Great video. Look forward to the three-item video.

[@InMused]

@Overland Bound It's called a Trivit

[@matejhosner1980]

Thanks for the vid, Mike!

[@plumber_cayle]

I would bring underware

[@OverlandBound]

Nah, I keep my crack clean

[@twotwentyswift]

I know what underwear is but what's underware? Sounds like submarine parts, lol.

[@ThePilbillyKnights]

You grew up in Humboldt? Cool, me too! I grew up in Arcata. Great videos.

[@johnknipp]

This was helpful - thanks! 👍

[@masonnorth4408]

Mountain money !!!! Awesome

[@djarizona]

Love the winter outfit Michael you look like a ninja.

[@exoplanetnomad]

Alabama hills is truly epic, Randsburg is gonna be truly epic this weekend, plus you can drive off road to Trona pinnacles from there.... where they filmed planet of the apes...

[@quickcutslauncareyahoocom]

Hey Michael just became a member of the group love the videos

[@bwildjournals]

Keepin It Real !!

[@21jsayler]

This dude free-ballin! 🤹‍♂️

[@catherinesullivan937]

Great video. Thank you. I love how you keep things simple. I always manage to overwhelm myself as I start packing. Looking forward to the next video.

[@StaplesInTents]

A quick 3 day glamping trip requires beer, steak, or crustacean with mimosas. Where are the damn flute glasses. LOL love the videos. You are my aspiration.

[@butchgreene]

Aspiration....heh. Cough

[@turnerfamilyadventures8392]

Thanks for the Video! I love this stuff...so simple and easy! Makes me want to get our more...thanks!

[@OverlandBound]

Thanks for watching!

[@Errror404]

Wow, that outro drone footage!

[@antazur3983]

Very instructive video, thank you !

[@dominicmoschetti4345]

Thanks for the Video....Just getting back from TDS and I went through all my boxes and eliminated about 40pounds of STUFF. Just keeping the essentials. Also meet up with OB members Kevin (Lifestyle Overland and David (Turtleback Trailers)

[@OverlandBound]

Awesome!

[@rafaelbin4595]

Very nice!

[@MJMAC]

love the Australian flag patch on your sleeve 👍🏻

[@nanonin0]

Nice and simple 👌🏻 love the channel. Subscribed

[@FrankRazoOC]

Awesome video great tips thanks bro

[@ADVNevada]

Great stuff!

[@run-cnc]

that orange thing was the base to your jetboil i believe.

[@OverlandBound]

Yes!

[@kongmoua1761]

It attaches to the underside your propane bottle that attaches to your Jetboil. U spread out the legs for stability. 👍🏼👍🏼 “I don’t know what that is.” Hahahaaa.... always a comedian to keep us entertained. Love it!!

[@butchgreene]

Just so you know, my eyes went straight to the giant box on top. Great that you pointed it out. Your socket/wrench all in one set didn't look like it had very large sizes in it at all though?

[@pensrud]

mountain money :D Good to hear someone else call it what I grew up calling TP. Good vid. Sweet rig. Alabama hills at the end?

[@briancox3279]

I 2nd the rear bumper and dual swing arm step up, who makes it looking for a 2017 TACO

[@grantforsythe1280]

4:16 It's the stand for your Jetboil. Fits on the fuel canister.

[@StohlTara]

Love your content.

[@OverlandBound]

Thank you!

[@mrcarterflyhighkingc3863]

Michael, are you ever envious of some of the people you've had on your channel with the super expensive rigs?? I LOVE the overland rig but also see that it is very minimal to some guest you've had on the channel. Considering your rig, do you think that some people have overkill on their rigs or are you aspiring to have the same setup one day? I'm a huge fan and you're videos inspire me to get out and adventure. Keep the videos coming and thanks for what you do!!

[@OverlandBound]

Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! As with all things, people have various levels of desire and ability. I can't afford an expensive rig (by some standards), and I am happy with what I have. That also does not mean I am going to have a stance or begrudge someone who has a more expensive rig. I am very opposed to putting someone down because they spent north of $100k on their rig. More power to them. When I can make an upgrade, I am very happy with that. It's all about getting outside and exploring. Cheers!

[@FJLC93]

Came to see your gear list, left with another reminder that I missed the last batch of tailgate panels from backbay.

[@celticwarrior916]

Shoutout for Humboldt County!

[@myexplorenow]

Isn't it amazing what we thought we needed to get out there and explore. I like what you do and we have been following you for years. We found out that if we just think about what we will be doing and consider what we need to do it, that's what we pack. No extras! Just go . . . .

[@moneygeewtee]

I'm benging (bad spelling) your videos right now and I'm rally digging your tail lights! Where'd you get those from? Is there a video about them? Really nice!

[@Misiekgren]

That's a good well organized video, one of my usual problems is packing too much food and clothing lol OB# 8808

[@OverlandTT]

The orange thing is a gas canister holder that came with the JetBoil, it clips on the bottom.

[@OverlandBound]

Yup, yup! Thanks! M

[@patrickgrove1830]

Can you tell me what tool set you have to bring on your trips or one that you would recommend? Thanks. Your videos are great and super informative.

[@tronaboron2064]

Through your videos I recently became a member! #10250... Glad I found your page! Save travels.🏜️✌️

[@walkerskii]

TRONA BORON did he ever say what are the three things?

[@mariorisu]

You forgot to mention to tie down your cargo. There’s a lot of items there that you wouldn’t want flying at you during a roll over.

[@marceld6061]

Mountain money... my father-in-law called it 'Wigwam'. As in 'teepee' / TP .

[@JeepCherokeeful]

Pro ? Tip? I’m bringing a stocking cap, and a Warmer sleeping bag!

[@Andrew20pp]

This guy reminds me of Jim carrey

[@skhochay]

make sure to take a live chicken too - you will have 2 eggs per day plus the fresh chicken when you need it

[@chuckchuckles8281]

Great, except you need to have everything tied down in case of a collision or rollover

[@charliewatson9581]

subbed!!

[@Box--sy4wm]

Great video. At 2:35, what model is in the Glock case?

[@ericjohansen6042]

Great video! I noticed you mentioned pets. I’m getting into over landing and have two dogs. Do you have any recommendations for taking dogs on a trip?

[@punk303]

I have been caught out with no socks, and it was so terrible.... Now I take like 10 pair for a 3 days trip

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

1st I loved the organization of the video. Don't for get a warm hat. Maybe a nice personlized bennie with your OB# on it OB0000

[@xvibezassociate4898]

Good grief i love that truck

[@diaryofamoderndaySAHM]

Where is the campspot at the end with view of Whitney?

[@wiktorblaszczynski7270]

What engine do you have in this awesome beast by tbe way awesome video

[@user-tz4zc6dk9s]

Good

[@lewisholmes1847]

Does overland bound have an app if not they should create one there is really some good content on here

[@bangalorebobbel]

going out with just three things, what they are? In an urban environment I would say: My wife, my car, my credit card ...? ;-) Hahaha, but seriously: difficult to say what you mean. Since most of us outdoor fans carry usually all what is required to basically survive always in their pockets: a lighter, a pocket knife, latest iPhone or Android, maybe even more ... so the extras might be anyway whatever luxury items. Depending on the region and climatic zone you are, maybe such luxury things as a blanket, a mug, and a bag of finest ground coffee ... or so? ;-)

[@spencercupit]

Can you mention the truck and what basically has been added to it. I'm buy a vehicle for a build and there so many options now.

[@exoplanetnomad]

... where's the fire extinguisher?.... 🤣

[@user-wc8yw4dw8w]

Where was that closing shot? Beautiful spot!

[@OverlandBound]

Alabama Hills, CA!

[@marko1314]

Wow pretty comprehensive - So how come most of it looks like it's never been used?

[@layneward8793]

@3:41 you showed a picture with kitchen on it, it showed like a mini fire disc can you tell me the brand of that I need one in my life

[@landongeorge7443]

What year is your land cruiser?

[@slowboat6021]

whats in the tubs on the roof rack?

[@blueplanetproject77]

nice Aussie flag!

[@quickcutslauncareyahoocom]

Oh yeah by the way I am not computer savvy at all but will work on it try to communicate with some of you guys

[@rootssixtysix]

I always bring more than one extra pair of dry socks, because if there's a single drop of water within 1000' of me, I somehow always end up stepping on it.

[@JeepaDoodle]

I don’t understand the 2 gallons of water per person per day, I might drink like one glass a week lol. But it is different when you’re sweating a lot I guess

[@joshuaangel7491]

I’m really new to this but is that water or gasoline on the back of his rig? Surely you would want to have plenty of gasoline. Also, how do you handle wildlife such as bears, mountain lions, etc.,

[@wickedmuffin76]

What is the propane for? The Jetboil doesn't use propane.

[@butchgreene]

One other thing...I thought you had an ARB fridge?

[@superhardcoretrooper]

how did you get km3's??

[@stevenday8267]

I like the Australian flag on your jacket

[@moonshine1003]

Whats up with the Australian flag patch?

[@jmg2335]

Do you sleep in your rig?

[@harveysmith100]

First thing on the list. A LandCruiser

[@evazkee7246]

I always take too much crap. Gonna simplify

[@RRRR_LLL]

Where were you for that last tracking drone shot? Looks like somewhere on the edge of the western Sierras.

[@OverlandBound]

Eastern Sierras! Alabama Hills outside Lone Pine!

[@RRRR_LLL]

Thanks! Appreciate it

[@Totalhometour]

What kind of rear bumper setup do you have? My FJ80 needs a tire carrier.

[@donleamon8653]

Personally, I'd recommend Slee.

[@Adventure-Spark]

first aid kit brand and model?

[@rod5040]

@overland bound what brand cooking utensils kit is that?

[@OverlandBound]

GSI!

[@brookesrook]

I'm guessing the 3 things are sleeping bag, water, and first aid

[@Tehilliym]

👍👍🏻

[@commonpatriot7595]

A 1-gallon Coleman propane fits the Jetboil? Got an adapter or somethkng?

[@OverlandBound]

That was for another stove!

[@joseluispartida2708]

Hi. I would like to know how to carry the hi lift and the rescue plates. How do I put them on the spare wheel?

[@OverlandBound]

HI there! Mine has a Mount!

[@gam3rkid954]

What’s the bag (link) to the bag that you stuffed all your sleeping gear in? Looks like Gilligans duffle bag.

[@mudtoa]

Do you carry a special adapter for your jet boil? You need a special adapter to use the propane bottle pictured with the jet boil.

[@OverlandBound]

I don’t. I had jet boil fuel! Good catch!

[@mudtoa]

Kovea makes one that works pretty good. Search using "Kovea LPG Adapter". It comes in handy if you do not have access to the right bottle.

[@emiliotrench]

first time i heard the term "mountain money".

[@OverlandBound]

:)

[@chrisdc1689]

Wheres the bear arms?!
