Will's production quality is top-notch. The line between overproduced overland expedition videos and high-quality content is very thin, but the quality and effort Will puts into these videos is second to none. They are always informative and full of little nuggets that you can't help but hit play whenever a new V2R video drops. Thanks for this video, it made me re-think my approach to my EDC camping setup and got me started on reorganizing and reviewing my gear priorities

Thank you for this comment. My goal is to keep the experience as real as possible, so folks feel like they are there with me...in addition to trying to get the best shots possible (without manufacturing scenarios). I'm constantly trying to improve, but keep a close eye on that thin line you mentioned.

My motto is if you bring it you won’t need it 😅. My most used item: spray bottle with water and alcohol to clean hands I hang off the grab bar. Saves water and dries without paper towels. I also prefer stacking clear Costco bins vs bulky drawer units. And I finally got a refrigerator and power bank - so I’d like to see more cold food management use cases to show me what I should have bought instead 😂

We have our kit pretty dialed in, but it's always good to see what everyone else is using to see if there's a different option for something we already have, but might be a good upgrade in the future. That and it's just cool to see what everyone takes for their types of adventures. Keep killin it Will, you're gonna be at 100k in no time! 👊

You do a good job, cover many relevant points, & are organized.. We have a Rotopax 4 gallon gas container on the back tire (mounted) (we often use it) & when putting gas in it helps to have light plastic gloves (pulled out of a baggie), they are used to fill that container and the vehicle. When finished, the gloves are pulled off put back in a baggie & then hands washed (if possible) before getting in a vehicle. Also, we frequently head to the desert, camp areas have mice, that will get in the engine, vehicle and will go after any food or debris. Normally we bring a medium sized plastic container with some food items with clips to seal, we also bring an identical size (empty) and when we get to camp & are not around, we put our plastic garbage bag inside that container (sealed) & do the same if we are out hiking during the day & at nite. We do the same if we are in the mountains. When we finish the trip, the garbage bag & recycle goes in a trasharoo mounted outside the back tire, and that empty plastic container just slides 'under' the 'identical size food container & doesn't take up extra space.

Nicely done Will! Very educational, agree regarding your opening statement. I’m a physician with experience in austere settings, the caveat to the medical piece is I recommend two kits. A separate one frequently accessed for regular ouchie/boo boo. Then a separate trauma one with stuff for big bleeds and stabilization. No confusion between them. You want to say, “I need the RED bag from xxx” and a panicking person can grab it. Cheers

You should explain better about cell phone usage.. Only iPhone 15 and above have satellite emergency capability.. It works, but my iPhone 13 doesn’t work like that.. and Not sure of Android devices.. Within 2-5 years, I think all cell phones will have some satellite capability.. the Inreach mini2 has not been out for years, but works.. I have been using the InReach since the original and have used them in South Africa, Nepal and Antartica as well as across the US.. They work, but it is a bit clunky to get connected to local resources as Garmin has their own Rescue Center who then reaches out to who they think is the right local resource.. It would be great if they coordinated with the AFRCC (Air Force Rescue Coordination Center) who actually has jurisdiction for SAR in the US and coordinates with local resources..
