Collaborating with these creators was so much fun. Half of the fun was the video conferences we had just talking shop and comparing set ups!! We hope to do more of these in the future. For more V2R vids click here: kzbin.info

I began van life at 74 after losing my better half to cancer. Now at 75 I wish I had started doing this years ago...I absolutely love it! All my gear is stuff used on backpacking excursions (for 63 years). The Jetboil stove and GSI dual purpose pot are interesting and it looks like it's time to upgrade. I have the little scraper and it is so easy to keep my frying pan clean using the device. Well, Southern California is done, time to explore Northern California!

[@Venture2Roam]

This is so awesome to hear!!! Hope you found some good ideas here...We did a trip to the Redwoods a few years ago and it was just jaw dropping...hope you enjoy your north California adventures!!

[@FoxMcScrooge]

Given the fact we camp a lot on the beach in Australia, the best camp hotplate / oven is a marine BBQ. Something like a Galleymate or equivalent. 316 stainless, rugged, high BTU rating and designed to operate efficiently and retain heat in high winds. You can also add things like roasting trays / racks / rotisseries. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

[@dickinaroundoutdoors8609]

Great idea for a collaboration and nice job by everyone! Thanks for putting this together. It is interesting how gear and expectations change over time and most certainly with vehicle. By this I mean very minimalist vs everything refrigerated and hooked up to power/propane etc. None of these ideas are better than the others and the group showed a wide range of setups which is great, but both our kids are in college now and we have gone retro (backwards?) in many cases for our gear. We are using less elaborate equipment, more fire (where possible) and less fuel, more cans/dehydrated/powdered and less cooler since we move gear between vehicles.

[@Venture2Roam]

Awesome perspective on how you’ve evolved over time. We’re about to launch another video like this..collabing with other creators…can’t wait to share it!!

[@dhoppo1168]

I've had my Jetboil Genesis for a couple of years now and it's fantastic. I bought it for the same reasons you did - compact pack size, large cooking area when open, and excellent heat control. Unfortunately it is not available in Australia so I had to buy it from a store in the US and get it sent to a package forwarding facility who then sent it on to me - an expensive way to buy but well worth it.

[@Venture2Roam]

[@LampWaters]

@Venture2Roam park days middle of week and mountain biking trails to ourselves, drove cross country 6 times last 4 yrs. Like going when life calls. Be it adventure or even recently caring for my grandmother, it's so different to not be on a schedule with public school or 9-5.... it's like life has it's own pulse and we usually don't notice it when ur on some public approved conveyor belt. I don't know that I cud ever commit to going back to the way life was b4. I never fit into a box and it's great coloring outside the lines. Cnt compare ourselves to others either which is a good thing too. Even how we see ourselves and others have changed too, not all in the rat race so I won't need to compare ourselves to anyone else except to always grow on a personal level.

[@jonedwards2107]

Folding oven is cool. I have had one for years. Also have a Coleman Max propane stove, multiple interchangeable cooking surfaces including a slow cooker. Not in production now for many years.

[@Venture2Roam]

Sometimes the older models are the best...that sounds like a great stove!

[@kenbell5841]

Great video. It occurred to me that the Outback Adventure Table might be attached upright to a truck bed drawer system. The developers of the drawer system would have to take this into account, but an upright piece of plywood, properly mounted and installed that slides out might work very well.

An easy modification for your table height is to find a wood post in the diameter you need to fit the table legs securely in. Drill holes in the sections you have cut to the length you need to match your tail gate height. I have used these extenders that fit the long folding tables used for food preservation classes I co-teach at the local Agriculture Extension office.

[@carmenmartinez2882]

I prefer my gas Coleman stove, old school but built like a tank, great for simmering or cooking and saves bringing or disposing of bulky propane ( I have both the one burner and the classic thus I can choose) pair it with a Trangia and is less space than bulky propane or Isobutane lights in all kinds of weather or altitude and in a pinch I can even syphon gas from my car if needed. That collapsable GSI set rocks! I’m getting it. Thanks for the great video and tips.

[@kachiri]

At home, Bushcrafting, Camping... I don't often bother with food that stores in a refrigeration. Don't care much for dealing with ice in a box or using power, although I do use power at home for the computer and sometimes a light if it's too dark to do something. I used to have a mini fridge and a water dispenser and cook on electric stove/oven, but decided to cut down on power use. I got this small pump that fits on the spout of them big water bottles that are used for water dispenser (hot & cold water) and I heat the water with my butane camp stove or mini burner (uses isobutane canister). I don't use the lights as much as others in the family do. Only when needed.

Hey FriesOnTheSide I got a cheap version of that mess kit (pot/pan/dish) at Walmart and it's not good quality and yes it is noisy moving around.

[@texasbeast2542]

Great video. The only thing I disagree with is the 12v portable refrigerators. I bought one and I found it was either took up too much room. Or it was just impractical for just keeping beer and sodas cold. I have about 5 different sized ice chests from a huge one down to almost the size of a lunch box. I much prefer to grab the one I need based on what I'm doing. Me and my son only need a very small cooler for an overnight versus needing the big one for me my wife, my daughter and my son for a couple days. I don't get the whole it makes a mess thing? I guess if your packing bread in it or something? But other then that some really cool stuff. Just wish there were more options shown for us ice chest campers.

[@Venture2Roam]

Great point! While we love having the fridge, it's not the RIGHT answer for everyone. In fact, I did another collab vid with some of these same channels focused on refrigerators, and we made a point to include someone who uses a cooler. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2rEiJeVhK2Yb5o

Great videos...subbed all....

Woohooo! So glad you're a new subscriber! Thank you.

Glad someone mentioned cast iron. I have all the titanium, folding cookware...and I hate it. I love my cast iron wok. I even started using it at home too...i love it so much. I finally bought a 12V fridge. Best gear ever. I bought a BoughRV...not expensive; and a game changer.

[@Venture2Roam]

Cast iron is great, as long as you have the space and weight. We love our little cast iron flat grill we can through on top of the stove. I so agree about the fridge…I face we just launched another collab vid talking about fridges..total game changer. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!!!

@@Venture2Roam Hi. Now using a Lodge grill pan which is great but heavy and bulky. What is the brand of your flat grill? Thanks.

[@Venture2Roam]

@@cathyfurtado362 Hi Cathy - we use the Victoria reversible grill. We got it on Amazon: amzn.to/3LJddZF

Is the griddle 12"?

[@stewmiller778]

@fry, get a Hario Skerton Pro grinder with a ceramic cone. For consistent fine grinds you will want the upgrade kit, also.

[@Venture2Roam]

Great advice!

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Great advice! I will defiantly look into it. Shortly after this video I bought the overpriced VSSL grinder. It's held up with some pretty good abuse, but will will check out the Hario.

You can load Mason jars with salads and it keeps it fresh. Add dressing shake and dump

Great tip!

I bought the jetboil genesis last week and it looks great. After watching this video I just purchased the collapsible gsi pot and pan combo and the scraper. its bad when you are 7 grand in and still buying stuff last minute. I figure it is better to bite the bullet once on all the gear I need rather than suffer over many trips with a family. I am used to high end gear with years of hunting trips under my belt but I quickly realized almost none of that stuff applies when you start bringing a family with a young baby, wife and dog. If you have a baby I recommend the Morrison infant sleeping bag as well as the fleece bunting bag from Patagonia. I bought us all some merino wool layers and a few ultralight down blankets. For my main gear I got a Eureka copper canyon 8 person tent and a tarp system to go above or use as an outdoor covered area. I also got our dog a good sleeping bag in case night temps get pretty cold. I bought a bluetti 2000w solar generator with 200watt panel, a coleman queen cot/air mattress. And I am using the Mr buddy heater as backup heat with a portable CO/temp/hygrometer. 2 coleman collapsable chairs with a collapsible table, 2 pairs of merrell hiking shoes, a garmin inreach mini 2 sos/gps handheld, 2 yeti 14oz coffe mugs, a lifestraw, a new water filration system, a comprehensive emt grade medical kit, a butane attachement candle lamp, heavy duty tent stakes with drill attachement for gavel, and mutliple small kitchen, repair and other items. The thermoelectric cooler can run off the solar battery for the entire week without needing the panel as well. I am saving the yeti cargo trunk and yeti dry sack duffle bag for next year. Still looking for cool gear that I am missing but I think we are good to go now for many years to come.

[@Venture2Roam]

Great comment...sounds like a great setup! Thanks for sharing.

[@ar007r]

@@Venture2Roam The gsi pot pan combo came and its amazing. I got a collapsible kettle to match and it fits in the same storage bag.

[@Venture2Roam]

@@ar007r Glad to hear it..I still use mine! I haven't changed my kitchen set up since making this vid..still love it.

[@heythave]

Omg, I am tired just reading the list of stuff that you bought. When are you going to have time to actually enjoy the trip itself?

[@outandabout242]

Milwaukee packouts are a great option for storage. Expensive but awesome

[@Venture2Roam]

Great tip!

[@deflaytedwayz1]

Great video! I've found a few more things to add to my repertoire now. What grill plate are you using on the jetboil genesis?

[@Venture2Roam]

Awesome! The brand is Victoria.

[@deflaytedwayz1]

@@Venture2Roam Thanks. After a little Amazon browsing, it looked like the Victoria 👍🏻

[@bellsandbabies]

wrapping the silverware in a bandana would be a good way to stop the rattling and it doubles as a napkin :)

[@Venture2Roam]

Better than wrapping them in socks?? LOL. I was like - "Matt - that only works in the armed forces lol." A bandana is a great idea. Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@bellsandbabies]

[@rdh2059]

Regarding that MSR Scraper, the best time-proven way to clean on stuck food is to soak the item in water Warm water is better than cold, but cold still works. Leave it soaking for 30 minutes for hot water, 1-2 hours for cold water and stuck on food will fall off with little effort.

[@Venture2Roam]

Thanks for the tip!

[@OverlandLady]

I'm super late in catching up this video but..... how come no one mentions the ultimate cooking gear Air Fryer..... jkjk. I needed this video a few months earlier than when my Coleman grill melted, I didn't find a satisfying substitute so I just brought the home appliance instead..

[@missroxanne7123]

I love how the 2nd guy said this took years you can have run of the mill and still have a good time. Makes me feel less of a loser. Lol

[@Venture2Roam]

Josh is spot on there. None of us went out and bought this stuff right away.

[@brianwatson3705]

Its hot and humid here in Evansville also. 98 degrees and 87 percent humidity

[@Venture2Roam]

Yikes!! 104 in Boise today but no humidity to speak of. Hoping for a cool down soon!

[@brianwatson3705]

@@Venture2Roam yeah I've heard the northwest is having a heat wave with a dry spell. Stay safe up there !

[@michigander58]

Great video. What is that grill with the spring handles that you use on your jetboil? I have a jetball and love it but I'm looking for a nice grill like that.
