Am I the only one who watches more camping gear videos, than I actually camp? Lol

[@amorton94]

Oh no. I haven't REALLY camped ever, but it's one of the main "genres" of videos that I watch.

[@ruggedp345]

Lmfao

[@jones_edition]

@@_Spacecraft that sounds like the life!

[@joalvarez6252]

You should go camping!

[@jones_edition]

@@joalvarez6252 I do camp just not as much as I want. Im camping more and more every year which is great.

[@RiderObvious]

Love it, don't want to shoot a predator, unless its a human... Me too bro, me too....

[@danielcauthen132]

Awesome video. Just getting into overlanding and your channel has been so awesome! Thanks for everything you are doing bro!

[@TylerEdwards]

I got a Mulibex chair as my UL chair. Freaking love it. Keep it behind my back seat in the Tacoma so I always have it.

[@iantru9929]

I love how u match everything to your vehicle. I hv a black 2019 tacoma and everythjng i own or ordering is predominantly black.

[@duncdunc76]

Another fun and useful vid👍 Cant go wrong with the plano sportsman trunks. I've got like 10 of the smaller 56 quart ones and they're so handy for organizing your kit. I've got one for my car camp kit which has everything I need for an overnight or two and stays in the back seat area of my Frontier in case I finish work early on a Friday and on a whim decide to just head out to the Hoosier National Forest instead of home for a nice overnight. Also got one set up as my camp kitchen for when I'm going to be out with a group and need fancier cooking capability for 4 or more peeps. Then of course one set up for backpacking, hunting, fishing, kayaking, and so on. Great thing is they all stack neatly in a closet labeled and ready to grab and go. And they're pretty water and dust resistant as well for throwing in the pickup bed.

[@JaySky181]

Currently prepared to hear the word gear ⚙️

[@yp8120]

Loved your video, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge so we can make better choices as to what we might need when we go camping.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kwf9111]

Just bought the front runner folding chairs that we seen you use. They are great, thank you for the videos!!

[@kurticeberg4566]

Thanks for the videos. Got my Plano sportsman trunk loaded, and a couple other bins, my 6 and 8 year old boys are going camping for the first time!

[@offgridtrek]

Great breakdown of your camping gear. Keep it simple best way to go.

[@magnus5356]

One thing that's nice and desirable with camping (and to some extent overlanding) is to keep it simple and 'primitive ' I think. So fast and easy setup and take down goes with that spirit.

[@The_overlanding_taco]

You could not have made this video at a better time. A- 4th of July sales! B- I've been going through a lot of your old videos for ideas. Building up my Tacoma for overlanding and love your thought process and mindset. We think a lot alike so the way you do your set-up is not just practical but satisfying for me! Thanks for making these videos!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha glad they help!

[@Michael_Tran]

Great video for the camping season!

[@ItsAdventureTime1]

Watching this in my tent on top of Mount Mitchell NC. Lol, Even when I’m out camping I’m still watching you talk about camping.

[@DanielDunn]

Great stuff Mike. Basically, just get out there and go camping. True words.

[@throttleissues9359]

Currently putting together a camping bin for my daughter, so good timing. Keeping the budget small, but I don't want her to skip camping just for not having stuff or not knowing what she needs

[@TexasOverlander]

Speaking of forgetting food, I’ve got two daughters and when they were young I forgot their little bags of Goldfish snacks on a camping trip. Complete meltdown! 😂

[@bryanroberts4885]

Honestly major respect. The fact you want to avoid shooting a bear just makes me feel happy. There are so many people out there that just want to kill everything they see and ruin the wildlife

[@geektarded]

Easy, fast, quick gear…gear! ❤

[@dvg350]

great video and definitely needed to see this, as i am going to get the family out camping now. love the benchmade knife btw.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Have fun!

[@CoryCollision]

Notisquad asemble! Love these types of vids and ready to spend more money on some good gear recommendations lolol

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha glad they help!

I have my gear sorted. But I can’t resist any content from you! Camp on!

[@radtech619]

Love your channel bro! Keep the videos coming!

[@henryshaffer5811]

good video i use most of the same stuff but going to a platform with a drawer to see if that makes it a little easier and faster. Like the shower cady and the chair. Good Camping

[@roba6948]

Awesome video as always thanks Mike

[@jerryandjamie2up]

Love the big Planos. They work great and are fairly inexpensive. Nice video

Ohhhhhh an LLOD video. Must see TV. 🤙🏼

Awesome video and a live stream that I’ll be able to catch tonight!

[@pauls_xjadventures]

Welcome back. It was fun meeting you in person at the High Desert Overland back in May. Hoping to see some more bushcraft videos.

[@bogotstogoskiing]

Great video! I'm building my weekenderlander FJ62 and have been taking a lot of notes. You mention a lot of things I don't even think of! Oh yeah, and more Land Cruiser videos! That 80 is dope and deserves more attention ;)

[@thomassparks7094]

I love GEAR! But let’s talk about that new light bar on top of your Tacoma 🔥

[@KaylynnStrain]

I'm currently testing the Olight Array headlamp, have taken it out on one trip and will take it out in my next trip. I don't drive so I have to pack in a way that works best for my driver for that trip

[@CMDR-Cody]

I have an REI CO-op version of that Helinox. Also it easy to not put a lot of thought into your storage when overlanding but those Plano tubs are the best I have two of them and they are strong as heck. I stand on them when I am loading the roof too.

[@morganwest95]

The big bin approach is the way to go. I keep my tent, bedding, cooking stuff, dry food, sodastream, and other misc stuff in there. Throw the bin in the truck, pack the cooler and a duffle, fill up the water jug, and send it.

[@StewartCountyBallistics]

Great video thank you

[@obedevert28]

Excellent insight into food related matters. thanks.

[@darksidemachining]

Highly informative video. As a commercial helicopter pilot, I as all pilots are big on checklists which reduces almost to zero chance of forgetting or skipping over necessary items or procedures. I have laminated hard copies of a checklist affixed to my totes and the same list entered into my smartphone and tablet. I would be totally bummed out if I forgot the ribeyes in the freezer which I intended to grill over a campfire or forgot the booze in my liquor vault.

[@grumpybugger110]

I have all Helinox gear, chairs and tables. I initially tried a "Moon Lence" one and it bent within a week or so.

[@billgo4th]

I have those stick folding chairs I got mine around $24 bucks and they are great! great review on streamlight headlamp! keep it simple. I wish the plano trunk was a little bit high so that it would at least reach the top of my bed.

[@dustymorris9191]

liked the Shower bag or what ever you call it idea going to add that to my gear! pack it in pack it out!

[@daisuke8872]

Another awesome video!!!!

[@Ponch_1776]

Great video! Thank you!

[@crazydude5624]

Great video , thanks man 🙌

[@markallison3796]

With the butane stove you can put the cap back on the can and turn it around to face the other way and it fits inside for transport/ storage and it won't leak. Saves space.

[@heavensplayer]

Thanks bro

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Had no idea, thanks for the tip!

[@jones_edition]

Good to know!

[@nathanmaynard131]

Black diamond makes great headlamps for not crazy expensive. Use mine fishing, camping, working on vehicles, etc.

[@jonnyt16]

For some reason I hate the feeling of a spork in my mouth so I bought the Optimus Sliding Long Spoon. Its pretty neat worth checking out.

[@rvboyett]

Great vid. I just got an X-Cover on Craigslist. I'm waiting on my bed rack and planning to take my family out next week. Lots of useful info here.. thanks..

[@dennycrane2938]

Waiting on that Front Runner/Diamondback rack kit to stop being sold out, myself!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah, there ended up being much more demand for it than they anticipated...

[@ShaneSellsRealEstate]

I like those Plano tubs. We use them as well.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

They work well!

[@volwars]

You might be interested in the gear by Self Reliance Outfitters (SRO), by David Canterbury. Buschcraft orientated but still quite a few useful items like the bedroll cook kit.

[@Alasca5205]

I'm a auto tech and I can vouch for the streamlight brand. I have various lights from them that I use at work every day and they are great all around, definitely not a lower end brand at all. They are the name brand all technicians I've encountered recommend. Good stuff for the price.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah they make great products!

[@erniesanchez6182]

Having that bin with all your gear is such a simple idea and I feel like an idiot for not thinking/having one. All my gear is stored everywhere. Thanks for the video.

[@paulsanchez4141]

Very helpful

[@badcompany3057]

That shower caddy thing is a great idea. I think I am going to pick up a couple of them. Seems like it would be a dandy first aid kit. I totally agree about the two burner Coleman. It's a tank but it always works and has for years. Question; I realize this isn't the gun centric channel, but do you stick with 9x19 always or switch it up a bit depending on where you'll be camping? Finally, your thoughts on less than lethal 20 0r 12ga rounds in place of spray?

[@frankiem749]

"And I'm going to say gear alot so get prepared" Break out the tequila and shot glass Okay ready.

[@robd6827]

But he ended up saying "Actually" and "for the most part" more than gear... hahahahahaha

[@panggiring]

Nice rig 😁

[@Ian..]

Your Sportsman’s trunk is nice and sturdy. I bought one in the U.K. and it’s very thin and flimsy - must be made in a different country I guess, so I settled on using Front Runner Boxes.

[@sukmynut101]

there's two different styles. a heavy duty one and a regular one.

Can you show us how you organized your garage? I need some bins and shelves but not sure which ones to get.

[@steelhuskers1794]

Hanging toiletry thing lol That deserves a sub

[@richardalvarez6768]

" I don't want to shoot a predator, unless its a human trying to do me harm" That's the only reason why I carry when go camping, I trust a wild animal more than I do a human. Animals wont attack unless provoked, humans on the other hand...

[@richardalvarez6768]

Jim Bond Thank you for the advice. I’ll make sure not to provoke/approach any hungry, rabid,scared, injured animal, as I was not aware they will attack. I’ll make sure not to camp/hike in their habitat anymore, since for the last 15 years i assumed they were all friendly and cuddly.
