Tired of seeing the same overlanding gear in every video? Yeah… me too. In this one I’m breaking down five pieces of trail-tested gear I bring with me in 2026 that you probably haven’t seen in other setups—mostly because a lot of it isn’t even marketed as “overlanding gear.” These are the kind of little wins that make life on technical trails and remote camps smoother, cleaner, and way less annoying. I start with the Booster TF64 turbo fan—basically a portable leaf blower that’s compact, rechargeable, and surprisingly powerful. I use it to blast dust off the hatch/tailgate before opening the truck (huge if you run a topper), kickstart campfires, and even dry the truck after a wash. Then I get into the electronic fly swatter with a blue light that pulls bugs away from you at the fire, and it’s clutch inside the tent/topper when a few sneak in at night. From there I talk cooking: an induction stove system has been a total game changer compared to propane, as long as you’ve got the battery capacity. For trash, I run a baby diaper bin because it seals smells for days inside a fully sealed topper. And finally, we talk the topic nobody loves—packing out waste. A collapsible toilet plus sealable bags (and a little poo gel) makes it easy, especially in places like Moab where you can’t just dig a hole. Bonus: if it’s 2026 and you’re still on a cooler… do yourself a favor and get a fridge.
