    This video breaks down the camping/overlanding bin my girlfriend and I have put together. We often go camping but hate the hassle of getting everything together. When we go overlanding, I will add extra emergency tools that you may see in later videos. This storage bin makes prep simple, so we can focus on the journey. We hope you enjoyed the video!

    The only thing I think you missed is a small folding shovel. Always good to have a way to clean out a fire pit, make sure your fire is well out, dig an emergency latrine, or dig your vehicle out if you get stuck. Nice, compact setup. Cheers!

    Not essential, but a metal rake to remove rocks under your tent is nice to have. I also bring firewood and an axe for making kindling. And tarps for under and over the tent. I bring a large tarp that more than covers the tent and extends out over the entrance, making an awning over our rug and shoes in the doorway. I put up the tarp with nylon twine, tying it to nearby trees and/over makeshift poles. The twine also acts as a clothes line.

    Put some red taillight repair tape around those lanterns. Won’t blind you and won’t keep you up all night bc of the blue. Or just wrap a headlamp around a 1gal water bottle (milk jug style; full of water, of course).

    FYI with that Coleman stove, the stem that you put inside doesn't have to rattle around, there is a hole at the back of the stove for you to put the stem in so that it will stay in place.

    I’m onboard with everything except the hammocks. It’s hard to find decent places with trees and I haven’t really ever been one to sleep in a hammock and with a wife and 2 younger kids they tend to be kind of bougie and would rather sleep in our big 10person tent. I bet I could still manage to fit most of our stuff in one box. We have 2 right now. Kitchen box and bedding box. I’d like to consolidate them down and ditch some of the unnecessary crap that we take with us and never use.

    Did you paint those pants on, or accidentally put on your girlfriend's?

    How the heck can you fit all your camping gear in one box. I can't even fit all my backpacks in one box. I've got a box with nothing but tents, and it's full. I can fit all my camping gear in one room, except the boats and bikes of course. I think you must live a much more disciplined gear life than I do.

      Hahaha! Having one box with all the gear we actually use makes it easier to pack up for a quick weekend of camping!

    Please pad the work surface so the noise is not distracting to we viewers please. Also check your already rather quiet voice. Interesting but you seem rushed and need tech improvement. Best of luck.

      Thanks for the recommendation, Linda. I'll consider this for the next video! I have a new microphone, that should help with distracting noises. Thank you!
