- I was doing a gear check before I head out on a week long trip across the desert and to Flagstaff, AZ for Overland Expo West and I thought I'd bust out the camera and share with you all the gear I'll be packing in my Jeep Wrangler.

See you soon brother! Have a safe trip!
See you soon in Flagstaff! Save travels!
Like the format. Down and dirty with all the good information. Thanks!!
The bamboo cover on the fridge looks awesome.!
And I say ya keep up the vids on the updates on the rig. I love it.! Gives me ideas..
Yes do more of these. Always love rig walk around. My list of stuff I need for off roading always gets bigger and its awesome to see new gear I may have not known about
I greatly appreciate the info that you put out. A lot of really good tips and shortcuts. Thank You.
I love these type of videos so definitely do more! I think preparation is one of the funnest parts of the trip. Of course you can’t beat the trip itself!
Great job Brad thanks for sharing your load out gear for those of us getting ready to hit the trail, great ideas anyone could use based on your experience and I enjoy informative of some of the products you use for a weeks worth of gear to get you thru Overland Expo West as always looking forward to more adventure.
Have a great trip Brad! Flagstaff is amazing! Can't wait for the videos of the adventure!
Have a safe and great trip Brad . Looking forward to your video's . I really enjoyed this video . Until next time take care .
Love your videos
Great advice
And Design 67 people are killin it and have a great sense of humor. I’m an AF vet that was stationed for 2.5 years 15 miles s. Of Death Valley.
Just got my Rubicon JLU and getting ready for a 1-2 year long trek hope to meet on the trail some time and compare 1st aid bags.
I'm real interested in your new rtt and can't wait for your after 1st use report. Great video Brad.
Thank you for sharing, Brad. Like you, I love seeing what other campers pack. I collected quite a lot of gear while stationed and/or visiting five continents. Military gear is quite durable and I still use items from 40 to 50 years old. My two burner Coleman finally took a dump so I bought two single burner units, one for "dirty" cooking and one for clean cooking. Man, I wish I were living back in Arizona especially in some of the rural areas near Sedona. BTW , thank you for your service...26 years is quite impressive. I made it to 23 when I was assigned a desk job supervising 172 personnel it was time to say adios. As an Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT) with some air rescue missions under my belt I loved being on mountain tops and in remote areas.
I am just getting my 4Runner ready and this was a good video for me. Thank you
Awesome video, Brad! I think though that you are setting yourself up for a great video on cutting weight in the Jeep. The heavier they get, the more likely to break a drivetrain component, the less fuel efficient, the less power, etc. I'd suggest a couple things. I collaborate with my buddies who are going along so that we limit redundancy. For example, tool bags can be very heavy. If my buddy has a certain kind of wrench, then mine stays home. Same for cooking gear. This kind of inventory taking can save lots of weight in multiple vehicles. I like those soft shackles. There is an example of saving maybe 2 or 3 pounds. Some guys will laugh, but those two or three pounds add up. Both my JK and JL builds have focused on keeping weight down, and I can see the benefit immediately when I travel with guys with much heavier rigs. Keep up the great work on your videos! I always get excited when I see a new one pop up! (Man, I wish I could get the time off that you get to do more trips! Lol!)
i know right . where did i go wrong in my life lol i am lucky if i can get out more then once or twice a summer. Last summer i never got out once. to busy.
Weight is on my mind often and you are 100% spot on about sharing the load with other folks you will be on the trail with.. everyone doesn't need to bring a HiLift jack for example. Thank you!
Been watching the channel for a few years now. Still one of the best , most helpful Jeep channels. I enjoy this type of video. Please do one periodically. I use these vids not only to help me efficiently pack my jeep jk but also to get good ideas for offroading,camping and backpacking gear. I love my ridgid pro box for storing gear and will likely be getting more as I believe you can stack several pro boxes on top of eachother. Saw them on a past video and they really do work great. Now I need to look up the Kelty chair and KC battery/light. Thanks Brad for another great video. Keep up the good work. We appreciate it.
thanks Brad, Great Video on your updated storage unit. See you in Flagstaff..
BRAD, yes, do more videos like this. It helps me to not forget things. I kind of use this as a checklist. GREAT VIDEOS! Hopefully, I will run into you on the trail someday. I jeep a lot in Colorado, but live in Texas. (I have a cabin in southern Colorado). Once again, great videos and information. Thanks!
A timely video with great information. I'm leaving next week for a 10 day trip in the four corners area and you gave me a few good suggestions, like the USB fan. That will help immensely when I'm trying to sleep in the desert.
There is so much to learn from you! Thank you!
Just found your channel this week, awesome content and you've got me itching for some more overlanding!
I like that you keep the brake line kit, that was probably the first major break on my 2010 JK. We were doing a big mountain pass and a stick kicked up and managed to bend the brake line at an angle where the sway bar bolt caught it and snapped it right off. By the time I wanted to step on the brakes there was nothing left, but luckily I could switch to 1st gear low range and popped the hand brake to stop.
We had to crawl back down the mountain in 1st gear and drove at about 30km/h to the nearest town to get it fixed. All this happened on a Sunday, 23rd of December, and the only mechanic in town's wife was having a baby so he couldn't help. Luckily one of the other mechanics drove 120km back from his holiday spot the next day just to come help us with a repair. I think I withdrew my entire bank account thinking this was gonna be expensive, but he only charged me about R300, which is about 20 US dollars. As much as that sucked, it's a story we won't forget :)
Definitely love the gear videos man for sure. Just got my jeep not too long ago so looking forward to being ready to hit the trails
Great video, thanks for sharing. Have a great trip, be Safe.👍🏼
Like it uncut, makes me want to join you on this trip, always good clean info thank you!
Nice TOUR of the TOYS!!!! Tks TRAILRECON
Love the video as always, room is a concern with my 2dr so it was nice to see what you pack. I'm going to Colorado the last week of Aug for 2 weeks, looking to do the Alpine loop and the passes. Safe travels.
Yes Brad keep them coming, very helpful info!!!
Master Blaster, you knocked it out of the park, thank you!
Looks great Brad! Love this video.
I've always needed a gear video like this! Awesome!
Great video Brad. Look forward to meeting you in Flagstaff. Safe travels
Have a good trip
I thought you did a great job with this video didn't mind it at all! Have great and safe trip OIIIIIIIO 🤠👍
Hope to see you and the TrailRecon Jeep this coming weekend at the Expo! Looks great Brad! The bamboo wrap on the fridge totally ties it in!
love what have done for the refrigerator, That drawer cover is sweet. looks factory. Great Job..
Brad just do your thing...we love it!
Love, love, love your videos my man, Thank You!!! 👍🍻
Thumbs up for sporting the Black Rifle Coffee gear!
Please keep up the awesome videos they are very helpful for me because I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ and it has not a lot of space Thank you watching from Australia 🇦🇺👍🏼❤️
Keep doing this style of video. I do small weekend getaways with my Jeep jk; this helps me think about how and what to pack when space is limited. I'm going to checkout those Kelty chairs.
If you're not a hardcore overlander like Mr Brad is, I recommend you looking into the chairs that Ozark Mountain offers at Walmart for a fraction of the cost of a Kelty.
Great video, thanks for sharing, have a great trip.
wow! that wrap makes the jeep look so mach cooler that it already was!
Great video. Still trying to work out my tool storage. Getting some great ideas from your setup. Thanks
Yes , enjoy this type of video as well, make more!! please
Amazing like always my friend. Now I forgot more stuff for my adventure than i thought
Good informative vid Brad. Happy trails!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video, I love to see gear vids. it shows what we cannot get in the UK!!!! however we get some bits and pieces thanks to Amazon etc.. I look forward to your trip and the videos that come with it.
Great video Brad! I sat here comparing my list to yours. One problem, I have to go East this week.
Black rifle coffee company is awesome and they stand for our vets and active service members. They are awesome!!! Oh ya the coffee is good too.
Love the video! The tips and such always helpful!
And of course the coffee...my preference is CF or Blackbeard.
Your packing addiction is a military thing. I’m always trying to find new ways to pack efficiently when we move or go on trips. 🙂
Great video! I always enjoy checking out gear.
I'd suggest getting a Vacuum sealer and seal some of your food options to save space. Safe Travels ☺
Very informative vid!!!!!! Thank you Brad!!🙏🏻
We love your videos Brad! We will stop by your booth and say Hi! I sent Marco a message a while ago inviting you guys to stay with us any time you make it to the Canon City, CO area. Travel Safe!
Great vid. Do this again. See ya at Overland West!
I have been looking at the Waterport for a little while. So glad you use one. I'm buying one today.
I've been pretty happy with it.
Damn they didn’t miss anything with that wrap… even wrapped the lift cylinders for your rear glass. The vinyl cover on the fridge looks great as well.
Enjoy!
As usual you nailed it.
Also if you can give review on the roof top tent that you have would be great.
I am in the market to get one and will be waiting what you have to say about your experience.
Nothing better than gear videos!
Trail videos are better than gear videos... just my opinion! LOL!
Great video great ideas have a safe trip
Wow! I don't have that much cooking stuff and food in my entire house! I run light and with minimal stuff. My groceries for the trail consist of a bag of McDonald's hamburgers (they'll last 2 weeks easy) and some drinks. A change of skivvies for my Sat night shower, and that's pretty much it! lol I do carry a full set of tools, and safety gear though. Gotta make sure I can finish the trail! I'm headed for the mountains myself tomorrow.
Nice kit Doc! Addressing the grounds in the Cherokee will be one of the best mods you can do. Look up big 3 and headlight relay vids. I started my JKU with a 6.0 LS with the Micro-Start XP-10 this morning and the battery was at 10.3 volts. Didn't think it was gonna work, but started right up!!
Yeah brad do more fast walk throughs. I would rather see more general overview videos with random direction and thought. Then have your in depth reviews of separate pieces of the puzzle just tagged in description. Love the detail you add to your videos
"for the guys who aren't interested in filming i don't want to bore you with that.." For us guys who are interested please consider doing a vid or two about how you get the shots, what you use, how you storyboard and all that type of stuff. I find it very interesting along with all the other 'jeep' stuff. :)
Enjoyed this video, Brad. Gave me some ideas
Great vid mate
Lookin foward to your camp walk arounds also there the best not enough people do that sort of thing 1 thing with your fridge try vacuum sealing all the things you can in there you'll be suprised how much room you will save👍
Thanks for sharing !!
Nice one great drawer system. Great ideas to cheers
Congratulations! You are actually traveling pretty light. I wish I could say the same.
have a safe trip man
Good stuff Brad. Stay safe.
Hey Brad check the Stanley Base camp cook set, , I like to pack as light as posible when camping and that cook set works great for me, maybe you like it👍👍, I bought it after watching Expedition Overland gear video and has been great. Awesome video as always dude👍
Doooo more please. Soo informative.
This was awesome. I really enjoyed it.
I just came back from Flagstaff today. A little bit of rain on Saturday, but the sun was out today and it was nice and warm. Low at night was in the 40’s, so not too cold. Have a great trip!! Love the 5.11 shirt...I have the same one. Going up to Flagstaff again next month to get my new JLU Rubicon at Planet Chrysler Dodge Jeep.
It's looking like it's going to be in the low 30's for our trip... I'm ready for summer. Love 5.11 gear!
More, more gear stuff Brad!!
Another great video Brad..
Good Stuff To Carry!
Like the non-polished format! Enjoy your trip and safe travels!
Hey Brad New subscriber , very informative, I’m pumped to be a subscriber ....thanks again for taking time to video this for us. Craig. Pa. Guy
Awesome, welcome to the channel!
Great video thank you!
Nice video, keep the videos coming ✌
Nice set up! I'll see you in AZ!
Cool video!
Awesome video and info Brad! You are going to have so much fun!! We will definitely make it next year! Still LOVING the wrap! 🐞IIII🐞
Right on, thank you!
Cool video thx
Keep up the great work
Nice set up.
Hey Brad, I'm sure someone has already dropped this in one of the comments below, but don't forget to pack drinks! I.E. drinkable water (although i'm sure you can drink the waterport and rotopax water) sodas, etc! It looks like you will still need to bring a cooler of some sort since your fridge is full! Have fun on your adventure!
Good luck have fun. I liked it. I pack most of the same stuff. Just way less organized. So I most liked the bags. The shelves are amazing just not something I want 100% of the time.
Put that chocolate in the fridge!!
Nice gear review, but still no spill kit (my wife's embarrassed just knowing I'm mentioning it ). Just had to go there Brother. I think I may have mentioned the First Timers Trail Leader at EJS, Roger Peck was super excited when I gave him the spill kit. But I get it, it way too big for a normal load out. Sorry we won't be at Overland West. Between you , Marco and the Epic Family Adventure crew, it will be a fun time for all who attend. Safe Travels and God Bless!
Brad nice video and very informative. 2 observations, #one didn't see any cold drinks or ice for cocktails, #two on your Micro Start jump Starter, I have one also and it works. On my Hummer H3; which had a completely dead battery on the first try with the Micro Starter nothing. You will notice that there is a "Boost" button; which overrides all the safety issues and it starter my Hummer right up. You may already be aware of the boost button but that made all of th difference in the world. Happy trails
Great video!!
I'm envious of your pristine equipment; all my stuff has dust and scratches all over it.
Sounds epic!!!
FYI, if you ever wanted to put labels on the clear front of your BROG tool bags it can be done! I created labels for mine in MSWord using a font size that netted me 1/2" tall letters to identify what is in each bag. The letters were filled in with a contrasting color to the clear part of the bags. Cut them out with a slight border, and then secured them down with Crystal Clear Gorilla tape. The tape is extremely strong and flexible and literally disappears on the bag front. Cannot see it or feel it, only the very edges. The tape conforms to whatever the bag does as the tools move around in the bag. Game changer for me!
Food selection was on point!!! Haha
Love to know more about the fridge drawer!better than a tall upright
