You can research on Amazon, then buy from the little guy!

[@sonyamingle5030]

agreed i hate amazon and have never bought anything their.

[@rangerdoc1029]

A lot of the sellers on Amazon are "the Little Guy"

[@allenbennett4506]

Amazon has made it possible for so many small businesses to survive especially during covid. Many people misunderstand how Amazon works.

[@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921]

@@allenbennett4506 I understand how Amazon works. I also know how much of a Smuck Bezo's is and hates conservatives. I also know and stand by my commitment to use Amazon as a research tool and then as best I can locate and purchase from the "Little Guy". Bezos (Amazon) continues to allow Chineese fake goods to be sold on Amazon.

@@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921 What country is your phone and laptop made in?

[@mrgadget8905]

The pop up light that you don't recommend, I love using. The ones I got were free or a dollar from HF. I use them as perimeter beacons for when I arrive late at a campsite and they guide me in when backing up a camper or the RV. I put them by obstacles and trees.

Thanks for the recommendations! Just ordered three of the towels. Safe travels!!

[@diywarren1776]

Huge benefit of a travel towel is the dry time. Yes it does the job well but a traditional towel will often take a day or two to dry in optimal conditions where the travel towel and dry in an hour or so

I have that same utensil holder. Bought it off Amazon empty and filled with what I needed. Love it. If I’m by myself, other than a skillet and pot, it holds every thing I need, including collapsible cup and bowl/plate.

[@2010gt1]

I got the same sleeping bag that I also got off Amazon. So comfy and super warm

[@GoneBroke]

Great list of items. Some time ago I saw here on KZbin someone rigged up a system using their vehicles engine to heat water for a shower. You can use any water source a nice creek or river and even a bucket. Was a nice set up.

[@sagebrushbob2321]

Been using one of those Reliance jerry cans for about 20 years now and it still works like new. The feet on the bottom are wearing a little thin now from years of sliding over the bed of the truck, but it was worth every penny of the $12 I paid for it. I notice that a new one is only about $15 on amazon, You can't go wrong with that price!

[@lloydrage]

Great list, I've been price tracking a number of the item you showed. Sadly there are no overlanding trails near me so some of the items, while cool, are excessive in state parks imo.

Well done video

[@CrankyOtter]

For the hot shower, a standard showerhead/handheld diverter valve with a short hose could let you recycle the water until it heats enough. I’ve love large thin towels ever since my European backpack extravaganza. They wrap like a robe, work at a beach, dry fast, & pack down. I find them nicer than dense fluffy towels that take tending.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

That's a great idea!

[@krashnpa]

Just bought a couple of those 7 Gallon Reliance Jerry cans, seem pretty sturdy. Ready to put them to the test 👍

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Awesome. I purchased the other model last night. Should be here today.

[@eladsgarr]

Great gear. I’ve added a few to my Amazon list. Gonna have to start figuring out how to use Amazon lockers for deliveries. My full time overlanding nomadic life officially starts on Friday. 1st stop is South Dakota for vehicle registration and driver’s license. Then headed south to visit some old friends. Then I’ll be wandering west. Definitely going to make a point to stop at the Big Iron Overland Rally. Hope to see you there

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

That sounds incredible! Super jealous!!

[@XzadforSpacefox]

good info!

[@stevebigpine1590]

My Reliance jug is awesome except the air cap where the plastic breaks. A great fix so it lasts forever as follows: Get a small stainless screw, lock nut and small electrical eyelet. Drill a small hole in the air cap center and install screw and eyelet with eyelet on the outside of cap. Then install any small rope or whatever in the eyelet by swaging. tie other end of string rope or ? to the handle and it will never break or lose the cap.

[@leashanahan9821]

I really appreciate your video

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I appreciate that!

[@fridakahlua6674]

LOL the weapon of mass destruction is my favorite there! hahahahahahahahha the shovel. That was clever innovation. Thanks for sharing your gears. Im just about to start collecting. I have not started camping yet since whenever the last time i did. But thanks a lot.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Very welcome! Get out and have fun!

[@psyekl]

I've been camping for decades and I have to admit I have never required hot water for anything other than food prep. Now that I'm stomping all over middle-age I definitely see the attraction of having hot water available, but I still opt for a lighter packing list due to the rugged locations I seek. It's neat to see all of the new options that have arisen over the years that make camping more attainable for those who want to take the comforts with them, however.

[@rangerdoc1029]

I have a stock pot for when I need not water.

[@ernestpaul2484]

Most of my "camping" was out of a rucksack for the better part of my 63 years. Now-a-days it is no longer the case and a 7x16 enclosed "cave on wheels" is my current mode. Funny how a heart condition and other ailments causes one to improvise, adapt and overcome the fact that God has a sense of humor. I too am impressed with the advances in creature comfort items available at the click of a mouse.

[@gr0uch02a]

Great list. Useful stuff. Remember folks, support your local stores whenever possible. Yes, they cost a little more, but as long as they are not outrageous, we need to give them a chance. Bezos has enough money. Help out the little guy when you can.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Don't forget that a lot of little guys sell through and depend on Amazon for their businesses. But yes, if you have a local shop, support them!

[@CodyC2009]

Only one problem, I don’t have local shops 😔 and academy don’t have crap 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great video what hammock would you get from Amazon for starting overlandeding planning a trip to land before the lakes soon in il we just have Shawnee National Forest to rome a round in not as cool as the ozarks keep up the great content Z

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks! I honestly haven't had much luck with hammocks from Amazon. The ones I have purchased have been way too narrow even though they said they were doubles. I really love my Crua Koala Max but have also had great success with Eno and Ticket to the Moon hammocks.

[@nextgenerationmotion2242]

I got a rooftop tent from Amazon and was very pleased with it for the price. Just saying

[@michaelschmitter8725]

I have this tool kit from Amazon the brand is nebo. It is a ratcheting 3/8 drive screwdriver/socket set. Super useful. Doesn’t have anything big. But I have one for all of my vehicles and for both of my motorcycles. Screwdriver bits store in the handle with standard and metric sockets up to half inch/ 13mm. It’s like 20 bucks.

[@White_buffalo_4r]

[@Chicknontheroad]

Teton makes great stuff

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Yes they do

[@1guyin10]

Those shower setups are nice. Short of that you need two bowls, two washcloths (one for wash, one for rinse) and some way to heat water. The cowboy bath does make the case for a good stove though. Can't wait all day for warm water...

[@hectornoah7621]

Great list. I know I'll be adding a few of these items to my shopping list. how would compare your shower recommendations to the Geyser portable unit?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

They have their pros and cons. This shower makes a very nice hot full shower just like home. But you have to bring a bunch of water which takes up space and adds weight. The geyser gives you a great hot sponge bath. It works well and you get clean and you save a ton on water usage. But it's still a sponge bath. lol.

[@KGX470]

That shovel is legit

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

agreed.

[@jamey48]

I just put a few of those items on the wish list. Really good good video. Except for the shower. That is just way too expensive.

[@ForestWicker]

Video released same day we got the $1400 stimulus check deposited. Coincidence? I think not.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

😂😂😂

[@wanderingigok2073]

[@gdog05]

I owned that shovel. i really liked it for the money. It was stolen from my garage about a month ago. :( I think I'm replacing it with the same shovel, though.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

That sucks!! but yes it's a super cool shovel.

[@idahoverland_208]

It’s too bad you didn’t get a chance to defend yourself from the thief with it 🤪

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I've been very impressed with it. It's solid!!

[@DIY_AUTO_PHOTO]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures oh nice... thank you for answering need to look for it on Amaz. its always great to have some tools like that in the truck once I get / build some kind of rack there for more tools better stronger shovel, axe and etc... this could be a valuable alternative

[@nickturnage]

you should paint your 5 gal propane tank and put your label on it! Kinda like the yeti cup on the table!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Great idea!! 😂

[@TheIronRide]

I am an Amazon buyer for sure. Great product info. I'm definitely adding a few of your suggestions to my gear. Especially that BOSS water heater. That is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you.👍

[@Diagoni88]

Now I might have to buy a couple of those Reliance jugs. Not having a spigot on my other Jerry can style jugs is a pain.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

They are great!!

[@UniquelyUsAdventures]

I recommend having an extra spigot on hand in case you break one in transit they are a few bucks for the extra one and it insures you have a closed usable jug.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@UniquelyUsAdventures great idea!

[@viviannadz1877]

I bought 2 fans from the 99c store for 2:99 each works great in front of my laptop or sleeping inside my car

[@russellwood8750]

Interesting video I’m glad it worked for you but almost everthing bought from Amazon has broken and failed. Maybe it’s because I used to be in the military and I expect everything to be built like a tank. I don’t like flimsy little things that break super easy it’s just a pain in the ass so I stopped find these products I now just save up my pennies it takes me longer to get it but eventually I get a quality item that’s gonna last for decades and that’s what matters to me in the long run it’s actually cheaper it’s smarter to buy quality over quantity. Who’d a thought my home economics teacher would be probably proud of me today LOL.

[@nomadtools8401]

That propane tank tho... Awesome content as always!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Those propane tank prices have gotten crazy!! I bought mine for under $50.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Great presentation of useful products. Almost 85 to 90% of the gear I have in my van came from Amazon, the other kits coming from ebay, Lowe's, Goodwill and garage sales. Amazing what people donate to Goodwill. I have a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van that I will be living in as I travel throughout the lower 48, Canada and Alaska, something I've wanted to do since I retired from the Air Force. Now that I'm 74 and retired again it's time to hit the road. Zach Fowler won season one of Alone with a survival shovel...whatever he paid for the shovel gave him a return of $500grand. I have one in my van and I hardly ever use my ax. I made a primitive shelter using just the shovel and a Gerber Strongarm fixed blade. It's a valuable recovery and survival tool. It's rather weighty but its value outweighs the cons.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Zach was a beast on Alone! I love that show. Sounds like you have some amazing adventures to come!

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Water, shelter, food. The one must have is a water filter for making sure the water you drink is safe. I wouldn't trust any campground water. Plus, local water bio changes as you move from camp to camp. It even changes from watershed to different wstershed. So filter your water.

[@MacDowra]

Am I overlooking the link for the shovel?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

[@Td-zr1vy]

[@Russellsperry]

This video should be titled “ The difference between women, and men camping gear, how opulence affects practicality.” A good comedian would have a blast with it. I’m outfitting an overland Ford super duty, and appreciate this video.

[@adventureseeker9800]

Amazon is huge but their not a specific outfitter for a specific activity. I for one enjoy backpacking but I support REI because their knowledgeable outfitters. Call me crazy but the mighty Amazon isnt everything and as a small business owner I'd prefer to lean toward independent retailers but hey to each their own.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

REI is great and we buy from there too. But there are some things REI doesn't carry and some they are way overpriced on.

[@matthewheinecke2621]

My inflatable Luci light only lasted for a couple uses and never held a charge for longer than 30 minutes. Super disappointed. I bought a second one, with a red light option and it is working for now. We'll see how long it lasts.

Hi, i like your video. Can you add the link for the water heater?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thank you. Click on the Amazon store link. It’s in my camping section.

[@johneroyale]

You know you can refill rhose green bottles from a 5 gal propane tank as well. You just need to get the adapter which they sell at Walmart

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

No thanks. Too risky and I don’t like dealing with a bunch of little bottles.

[@WillysOverland]

HAHAH the XL bags are mummy bags for me =) PS that shower runs off propane. The batteries just ignite it.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

the battery powers the water pump.

[@troy3456789]

@14:04 --- Does that typical provide enough for a full shower for just yourself, or is there enough water for two adults to wash down and rinse? I'm impressed with that device.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

You can get two showers out of it if you are very careful.

[@kachiri]

So, I use Butane, not Propane. I will say, one of them tall butane canisters wit the threads on them, using the mini-burner I have for them, I have been able to get all of can food meals cooked on it. I lasts longer than the narrow canisters in my Coleman camp stove (one burner). I use my camp stove and my mini-burner at home to cook anything that goes in my camp pot (1L). I have been using the one tall mini-burner canister for over a month. But I do some of the time use the camp stove, so if I only used the mini-burner it would probably last about 3/4 month. I don't eat like a pig with 3 or more huge meals and don't always cook every meal every day. Either way, for me, it is plenty to have one tall canister with my mini-burner. I figure if I had 3 meals every day that I cook in my 1L camp pot, I would only need 2 or 3 of the taller canisters of butane for my mini-burner for a whole month, possibly longer.

[@peteru9980]
