So, are you looking for our inventory, or our actual load in / out for typical trips? That varies as I am well equipped to provide gear for a large percentage of my local extended family on my wifes side, she has 7 siblings, with their spouses, neices, nephews etc...

Camping Equipment List:

This list isn’t all inclusive, sadly there is far more than this. This is just the stuff I have recently laid eyes on.

This list includes everything from backpacking, to as simple as possible overnight on the beach because we drank too much while fishing, to overlanding while glamping. Much of this is massive overkill, some of it is downright loaners for more folks to enjoy the trip with us...

  • Harbor Freight Hercules 18" Tool bag that holds the loose stuff.
  • Engo E9000 9K winch upgraded to synthetic winch rope. (100', where the original steel rope was 95')

Campsite Fuel distribution:
