You got a very functional set up! Oh and you said beer like 27 times,I wasn't sure YT had a limit on how much beer you can drink, or advertise! Great job!
So, I am slowly building my Taco for camping as well. I am not going full on with the rack, I am working on getting a soft top for the back of the truck. I have compartmentalized everything into a couple of totes: I have my chuckbox (its own tote), my cooler, a large Plano tote for pretty much all the rest of the gear. Then, my tent (Gazelle T3), two chairs, four collapsible tent poles, and a collapsible table. Inside the rear cab goes sleeping bags, sleeping mats, and backpacks. Recovery gear is stowed under the rear seats. Taco rear seats fold flat, which is great for storage. I contemplated a side awning, but really thought about it: this kind of limits your use to one side. I use one of the collapsible tent poles as a ridge pole, then soft shackle it to the roof rack. I can put it on either side, or the rear, depending on the weather and terrain.
Awesome set up. You can run away from home anytime and camp. Where is the solar panel to keep the power bank charged. It must be covered up or being shipped. Great job Dan
Nice set up, i was thinking about that jerry can water filter from lifesaver that would allow you harvest water in bulk at any source and have filtered water come out , I’m pretty sure it won’t work in place of the Roto pack but you could probably store it somewhere in that truck. Unlimited clean water to drink.
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. 👍
Great video. I am a bug outter or what ever you want to call it. I don't bugout but if shtf I will be somewhat ready. No one in my family believes it will happen so they are doing nothing. But when they talk about my stuff they say we or our. There is 10 people in my family what they don't understand is everything I have would last all of us a few days. Or would last me 2 or 3 months. I can't get it in there heads to start a bugout bag. And I say 2 or 3 months for me is because I was in the military and I know how to ration. They would still expect 3 meals day. I'm going nuts. Thank you love your videos.
Awesome setup. One item that may help you and your wife reach that top better are those steps that hook over your tires, and the ones that slip into the door latch loop.
From what you said, that's a *super* quilt 😉 That whole setup is nicely integrated into the truck and ready to go, much better than my 1990s rig of a 3/4-tin 4x4 Suburban with plastic tubs of gear, added saddle tanks, 20 gal water container strapped on top. No I'm down to a Honda Element with a backpack😂🤣 You need to bring your rig out west, maybe Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, some places that are entirely open where you can drive for hours or camp without seeing anyone.
SUGGESTIONS If you buy vacuum seal bags for clothes it will literally flatten your pillows and blankets to pancakes which would give you more storage room. Probably have an extra storage compartment available
Loving your bug out buggy, it's really nice, the last one I've seen this nice was on the Dave Canterbury Channel. You both have designed and built them to last a long time and to benefit your needs, excellent job. I'd really love to own one of these.
I have the Jetboil with the coffee press. It’s my coffee maker more than anything. 😂 I’ve been looking at camping setups for my avalanche. It’s pretty nice to sleep in already but I want to get more organized and a rack or shell would give me more space.
Awesome! Absolutely awesome! You should be able to be very comfortable in that setup. You can go just about anywhere you want to go now. And with the way the world is going now, if it were me I would be setting up caches in every direction at a day's drive from your favorite spot. You never know what and when you're going to need it. So on that note have a great time cuz I know you're going to. Have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry and your fuel tank full!
Wow Dan!! That is an amazing set up !! You definitely deserve it !! I unfortunately don't have a truck . But I pack everything I need in my mustang. Great video as always Dan!! Take care and stay safe my friend !!
I really like the Decked system you chose. But, for those of us that have a Dodge pickup, look for another solution. Decked does not provide product for nor supports any customizations for Dodge. Great video Dan. It did give me several ideas.
Some really good ideas and implementations. My truck is my main vehicle and I wouldn't want to haul all of that around with me all the time. I think a smaller trailer camper like a TRAXA Tiger Moth makes more sense. And with the truck bed drawers.
Oh yeah, my image of you is blown. Lol, not what I have come to expect from you Dan. Though it's more towards the camping my wife would find acceptable. Nice overland rig, I drive a tacoma myself and love car camping, it's just ironic that I'm using your videos to learn primitive skills and this video sets me back to square one. Keep the stuff coming. Also I learned we have similar occupational backgrounds. Would love to share some stories if the opportunity arose. Stay in the woods.
Most people wouldn’t bother but as a man who liked being prepared, you should get a portable AED. We have them at work and they said they’re not as expensive as you’d think. A few hundred dollars, but they improve the chances of CPR working by 80 percent.
Seems pretty nice an expensive. But i wonder if you had to draw a line between having a super equiped truck or getting an RV. I mean, this truck looks like a house on wheels too. Nice video, as always.
Great set up and gear load. I am sure like every other person, I have suggestions to make it better.... So, I know you have a spare tire, but maybe a tire repair kit? How do you handle stuff rattling around, as you showed the gear load, seemed like items were just in the bins, seems they would bounce around getting damaged? For creature comforts, a fan for the camp site? Solar panels to get the power pack charged? Otherwise, looks like you are having a blast setting up the new truck. Fun watching the gear setup others put in place. Keep up the great work.
Mmm, lots of nice gear, but as I am now well past my prime (80 this year), I have continued to upgrade to now have a 4x4 Merc Sprinter, fully kitted out and all the basics+ extras, and they are always loaded, so I can grab the keys and head off. 160L of water, 150L deisel, built in HWS and heating, etc.
Bravo Zulu!! From a longtime follower and admirer of your productions! Very informative, appreciate your time and expertise. The H2O RotoPax are fine utilitarian gear additions, but… When your rig is left unattended, it appears that some passing evil idiot could tamper with the cap and pollute your water with who knows what. God forbid! For security, one might consider fashioning a lockable metal hood/cover over the top of the RotoPak spout. Thanks again and best wishes with your newly diversified content on your channel. Safe travels and Godspeed to you and family. Rex
Can the power pack serve to jump start the truck? If not, you may want to consider adding a jump starter pack somewhere in the truck. It would be really awful to have someone accidentally drain the truck battery leaving you stuck in the bush.
Everything even the kitchen sink, were do you put the people on the roof 😜 sounds like nothing left to chance hope it works out for you I like bare bones camping my self less to carry unless you use that vehicle for camping only then you don't have to unpack, I do love the survival skills I've seen on your other videos and would like to do one of your classes I'm in Pennsylvania also how do I go about singing up and getting there, PS my only connection to the internet is through you tube I'm not up on technology
Wow. Where is the best place to see all this stuff for sale? Can you tell me of a catalog or website that has pretty much the best selection of everything camping, bushcrafting, and offroading that you know of? I need one of those quilts for when my Winter sleeping bag is too much. Love your channel and have learned a lot. Thanks.
Old bushcrafters never die, they become overlanders.
Hi from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures
Omg I saw you on the outdoor gear review channel.
You got a very functional set up! Oh and you said beer like 27 times,I wasn't sure YT had a limit on how much beer you can drink, or advertise! Great job!
I have to say that is the best set up I have ever seen.
I love your system Dan. Very self sufficient.
i love how you pretty much have your camping set up as bugout practice as well.
This channel always brings a smile to my face. Cheers.
WOW! What a rig. Really amazing. Ive never seen a vehicle set up like this. Super nice!
Like that Bug out truck and rack system. On a F150 myself, so I know it'll work. Great videos.
AND HOLY COW! That awning!!!!
I just love your new toy!! Amazing!
So, I am slowly building my Taco for camping as well. I am not going full on with the rack, I am working on getting a soft top for the back of the truck.

That awning is sick
Awesome rig..... what an investment!! That set up will serve you for many years and adventures to come!!
Nice setup! That awning is great!
Awesome set up. You can run away from home anytime and camp. Where is the solar panel to keep the power bank charged. It must be covered up or being shipped. Great job Dan
Reminds me of the good old days canopy camping.
Sweet setup I need to start camping again. Your truck reminds of the LLOD give away.
This setup is really sweet!!! Thanks for takin us on a tour Dan!
Love those truck bed storage units. The racks look really great too
Dan I’m SO ENVIOUS! That truck is awesome! I’m watching this video for the first time and I’m loving it! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice "Rack",,,,Sorry,,,couldn't help it,,,LOL. Love the buildout. Great job and video-Now to go out and enjoy it. Cheers~
Awesome setup. You could go about anywhere and camp. Take care, have fun. And keep the videos coming, really enjoy them. Thanks.
Its like opening presents Christmas.

😀😀😀, their's your new truck 👍👍
That’s a great set up. Well done.
Wow! That is one impressive rig the way you have fixed it up. Looks like you will really enjoy that. Happy camping. Don from Oregon
I'd do the same setup. Good Job Buddy 👏
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. 👍
Love the set up! Specially the cooking area! That's amazing. I can't wait to get something like this with my truck one day
I have the 2.25 Rotopax spare tire fuel mount on my CR-V camper build and love it. Comes in very handy when driving cross country.
Great video. I am a bug outter or what ever you want to call it. I don't bugout but if shtf I will be somewhat ready. No one in my family believes it will happen so they are doing nothing.

Thank you love your videos.
WOW nice setup, we'll thought out Dan
@Dan Greetings from the land of ice and snow snow 😎☕️🥶 As always, YOU RACK! 😎👍👊☕️
Awesome setup. One item that may help you and your wife reach that top better are those steps that hook over your tires, and the ones that slip into the door latch loop.
After finishing the video. Your truck is reaching Jurassic Park 2 levels of vehicle awesome ness. 😸

WOW!
AWESOME SETUP!!
Dan, between the drawers there is a metal plate. Is that a beer bottle opener? Important accessory you didn’t talk about.
Cool Rig Dan...
Awesome 👌
I need the batwing and definitely the the swing arm with cook station.
Great setup 👌 👍🏻
Outstanding AF Video
Proud of you. Exactly what I would do But...I chose to go with a truck bed Tent.
Awesome setup Dan!
SUGGESTIONS
If you buy vacuum seal bags for clothes it will literally flatten your pillows and blankets to pancakes which would give you more storage room. Probably have an extra storage compartment available
Very slick and well thought out!
Awesome setup! I've seen the rooftop tents before and wondered how they work.
My jeeping buddies have a head lamps that are placed on all the headrest. Easy to grab and ready to go...
Loving your bug out buggy, it's really nice, the last one I've seen this nice was on the Dave Canterbury Channel. You both have designed and built them to last a long time and to benefit your needs, excellent job. I'd really love to own one of these.

Great set up !!!!
Very useful setup. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing!

Love it Dan, Enjoy Guys

Great video Dan. It did give me several ideas.
Just AWESOME 😀, I'm soooo jealous that you have that setup 😜, definitely looking forward to your videos with the truck 😉🤙🤙🤙
Cool. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Really nice setup 👍🏻😉
Great setup
Wow that is really nice.
dope setup

From bushcraft to glamping. You got all your bases covered.
Great video, thanks..

Realy cool, Dan. Well done. I gues you know what you want. 💪😀 ML AnDi
Awesome video thanks for gear tips
That's one sexy rig my friend. Nice video
Seems pretty nice an expensive. But i wonder if you had to draw a line between having a super equiped truck or getting an RV. I mean, this truck looks like a house on wheels too.
Nice video, as always.
Great video Thank you!
Sick intro !
Very Nice
No saw? Look in to adding some snatch blocks to your recovery gear. I assume you have a wench on the front even though you did not cover it.
Good ones
Great set up and gear load. I am sure like every other person, I have suggestions to make it better.... So, I know you have a spare tire, but maybe a tire repair kit? How do you handle stuff rattling around, as you showed the gear load, seemed like items were just in the bins, seems they would bounce around getting damaged? For creature comforts, a fan for the camp site? Solar panels to get the power pack charged?
Otherwise, looks like you are having a blast setting up the new truck. Fun watching the gear setup others put in place.
Keep up the great work.
You should add a link for that rack system n they should cut ya a check lol
What do you use for a bed? Air mattress/pad? How about heat in the tent during cold weather?
Nice. Any plans for rock sliders on the truck? I can see those step boards being the first thing damaged.
Mmm, lots of nice gear, but as I am now well past my prime (80 this year), I have continued to upgrade to now have a 4x4 Merc Sprinter, fully kitted out and all the basics+ extras, and they are always loaded, so I can grab the keys and head off. 160L of water, 150L deisel, built in HWS and heating, etc.

Love it 👍🏼😄
What is it they say "Boys and Their Toys". Glad I never change things 😁. LOL
Have you thought about adding a cargoglide to the decked system? Do any of your tools get damp/wet in the decked drawer system and begin to rust?
excellent
