You didn't mention that lightweight propane tank. I have seen them before but forget who makes them.

Its a Viking tank... super lightweight, just as durable. Hidden feature is you can see the propane level. Cost $150 on amazon, so it is not cheap, but I like cool stuff

This shot shows the Equpt lighting, ARB 50qt refer, and the Goose Gear drawers, inside the habitat is led lighting.
Chris loves to organize the drawers.

Pepsi can stove never fails.
Kerosene always starts a camp fire. Wet wood, humidity, snow, it doesn't matter.

Nothing to fail on a cast iron pizza pie maker.

Steel Foot long+ 4x4 lumber nails are better stakes for tents and tarps than anything fancy that we use. But they're heavy. Need a strategic place to put such ballast.

Stihl makes the only expo rated chainsaws. Lol.

I wish those travel spice kits were still available, I refill mine as needed.
I use a cheap butane torch that I brought back from overseas; it screws onto the stove's fuel canisters, has an ignitor and cost maybe $6. They're like $12 in most Asian grocery stores around here. I've got a simple propane torch in my tool bag that I can screw onto propane cylinders or the hose if I'm carrying the 11# tank.
Loved my Buddy heater in the VW, not really usable in the Tacoma (too large, too close to the roof in the shell when I put it on the cabinet and would probably melt the carpet). I picked up a cheap CO producing Chinesium heater off ebay that screws onto the butane canisters. Smaller and works fine for quickly heating up the back of the truck before going to bed or in the morning- I absolutely would not sleep with it on but I didn't sleep with the Buddy heater on either. Always vent no matter which type you're using.
Jetboil, the only issue I've had with it is when I dropped it and broke the piezo ignitor but it still lit with a match; I've since replaced the ignitor.
Bic lighters- they just work.
Old Coleman stoves and lanterns; yeah, the lantern mantles suck but otherwise they keep going and going.
Italian surplus wool blanket- it's a nice sized, heavy wool blanket.
Glock, not a fanboy but yeah, they do what they're supposed to.

Those Snow Peak fire pits are great. So is the field oven that goes with them. I'm a big fan of my Aqua Quest tarps. They pack so small and lightweight yet they are so robust. I have the safari series. My wife is always amazed that I pull out this small bag and end up with a 10x13 tarp. Aqua Quest Also love my Drifta canvas bags.

Milk Crates, never let me down, stack easy, survive decades of abuse and naturally drain dirt, water, etc out the bottom.. and also fits 7 gallon aquatainers and large LP tanks like a glove.

I use em for everything from holding firewood to shoes.. makes packing up camp and loading up vehicle a piece of cake.

You can buy em new from Home Depot or search craigslist/estate sales to score em for super cheap.. If I see one on side of the road, good chance I'm stopping and picking it up.

Been using milk crates for years. They were too tall for one application but they trim down easily with a common handsaw. and a little sandpaper to even them up. Lots of spaces to use bungie cords to secure them.

 

[dreadlocks]

yeah they are easy to modify, if you get one thats badly damaged.. cut the bottom of it off and a few zip ties later, you have a hinged lid w/top tray for another one

I also use corrugated plastic (similar to Realestate signs) in the bottom to keep smaller things from falling out.
