This page includes links to everything I’ve bought for the Jimny as well as the equipment I use when camping that’s seen in my videos, blogs and instagram posts.
Some links will go to my Amazon shop or affiliated links that help support the all the work I do on my blog, YouTube channel and Instagram. Most links direct to companies are ones where I bought stuff and no affiliation exists.

Hi Saddiq, it’s the Diguo Pour Over Coffee Kettle Stainless Steel Kettle Leather Wrapped, Gooseneck. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi! I enjoy your vlogs! I’d like to know what are your video recording tools/equipment.
Hi Marcus, I’ve added cameras kit to the kit list 🙂

Hi Neil, link added to Cooking and Water section.

Hello Geordie!
Thans for all this good information.
What kind of system do you use inside the frontrunner roof tent? Mat? Pad?
Thanks!
arnaud
Hey! Thanks buddy 🙂
I use the exped inflatable mattresses. Ditched the one that came with the tent as we’re side sleepers.
Hello Geordie
Very happy to see your awesome video, i really love that , I came from Hong Kong, during the pandemic of Covid19 , can’t go outside for trip even a hiking. Your video is my favorite hobbies during after work , particular now still WFH. Your video really touching me when i am alone. I need get strong like you !!! Hope to see your video soon !!!
Hello! Thanks for watching my videos. Hope you are safe, healthy and back hiking again soon. Appreciate your kind words ?
Best wishes
Paul
What pants are you wearing with the brush patches? Grey/black? How are they working out?
Hi Ben, they’re actually just cheap work pants called Scruffs. Not posh fjallraven but they get messed up bad camping and working on the car so do the job.
Hi, what table do you use and how do you store it? Great website btw. Thanks.
Hi mate, the big silver table is from halfords about 6 years ago. It’s a bit bulky for my liking, working on replacing it or making one.
Hey, brother. Where did you get the leather carriers for the spice containers and the little spice containers? Love those things.
Hi mate, got them on Etsy.com
https://etsy.me/3gYAms6 There’s all sorts of nice handmade gear on there!
Awesome stuff. Thank you, sir.
Anytime thanks ^^
What’s the nice big hard shell case you use with all the bits and bobs in it? Love your vids and setup!
Hi Matty, it’s the standard storage boxes from B&Q in the UK. https://www.diy.com/departments/form-skyda-black-49l-plastic-storage-trunk/3663602763451_BQ.prd
Decent boxes and super cheap. I still would like to invest in some front runner boxes eventually as I think the inner shapes are easier to work with.
Hey! What’s the wheel bag/rubbish bag you used in your last YouTube camping video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlwL5tPsvls
I purchased one recently, but it’s too big for the small wheels we have on Jimnys.
Hi it’s from Unigear https://geordiejimny.com/simple-spare-tyre-backpack-mod
Hi, just subbed to your videos. Love your neat and calm approach to your camping and configuration.
I note that on the right hand side of your dash you and a “level” meter – I assume some sort of inclinometer. Is this a standard Jimny fitment or is it after market. Was looking for something neat for my Defender…?
…sorry, scrub that question I found it in your kit list.
cheers
No worries Simon, yeah it’s the autool X95 🙂 – Cheers for the sub mate!
Hi. Where can i take whiskey dispanser. Love your vids. Thank u
Thanks 🙂

Hey, just found your videos. Recently worked on my stock Jeep to make it into a hard core camper. Was a lock-down project for me and my two boys and we’re away testing it out now in Cornwall!
Wish I’d seen your videos before as I’d have saved lots of my own thinking. Good and useful content mate and similar solutions to mine!!!
I think I’ve caught some sort of bug now though cos I’m seriously thinking of (also!) getting a Jimny for stealthy camping. Really lightweight set-up for one (take a tent for more), sleep full length passenger side and so on.
Wondered what your vehicle weight is like with the full kit (including water, tent, battery etc).
Also, have you considered a dual battery set-up? I did my own in the Jeep with a renogy combined MPPT Solar / DC-DC charger and lithium battery. Works a great!
Also looking at that Cadac Stove already. I have a jetboil genesis from when I lived in the US but it’s propane-only and the smaller-style cans used in the US are harder to come by here (and are ££). I like the Cadac has the griddle plates. How do you find it as a stove?
Finally one tip for you. I have a few “Omeril” brand wardrobe lights from Amazon. Super cheap, USB rechargeable and they operate on a PIR sensor (if you want them too). I use them under my awning, in the boot space, even in a shower tent i sometimes use. Just Velcro wherever needed and forget about them. The PIR is useful!
Hi mate, glad the videos and blogs help. It’s good fun as you know to get your camper just how you want it. Never ending project!
Weight wise the max payload for the Jimny is 300kg. I’m actually working on a blog regarding payload just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I suspect I’m just under the max payload but don’t have the exact figures yet. There’s more I can do to reduce the weight and once I’ve done all the working out and weighing my standard camping set up, etc. I’ll start looking at ways to reduce that further, hopefully it’s not me going on a diet. I still take more gear than I use, the endless challenge of car camping for me is saying ‘no’ to what’s taken.
I did consider a dual battery set up but the lack of experience and electrical knowledge mean’t that the PowerOak power stations with solar and 12v recharging while driving was a way better solution for me. So impressed with the kit, unless it fails I’ll stick with it. Also means I can loan it to friends or use it in other situations besides camping.
The Cadac is ok, I’d like the flame to have more control though. Seems to be fully on or not at all. I also want to change the fuel from the big campingaz bottles to the 1 ltr propane as space is always at a premium in the Jimny. However, I’m not certain they’ll offer enough oomph so will need to test it. I’ve used the griddle plates only once so far but that’s because I tend to stick with woodland campsites where I’ve permission to light a fire. Ideally as it’s just me solo 95% of the time I only need one burner but I’ve yet to find a really nice quality single burner stove. There’s the usual suspects but rather than buy one of those I’ll stick with the Cadac until I see something unique that’s really high quality kit and super compact.
I’ll check out those lights too, cheers!
Cool. My jetboil Genesis stove is awesome especially from a simmer control pov. It’s just the gas is propane only (US style Coleman bottles) which are tricky to get here and ££££.
With you on the payload stuff – the Jeep obviously has a little more to play with but still the things that get thrown in the back because “it might be useful”!!!
12v systems are simple to learn if it floats your boat! The biggest advantage is alternator charging. Depending on the type of trip (touring / day trips more than “base camp”) means I can be self sufficient even with high power demands (fridge, work computer on an inverter and kids technology). Probably won’t even use the folding solar panel this trip!
On single-burner stoves… I have a jetboil flash because it smashes it on a water-boiling front and doubles-up as a French press for fresh coffee. The stash, I think, has better simmer control.
Best all-round single-burner I have is the Kovea Scout.
If you want to check out my stuff then take a look @ozzythejeep on IG
Happy camping !
Thanks Jason, I will mate!
😀
Cheers
Recently subbed your channel, amazing vids – so satisfyingly calming and inspiring at the same time. Thank you for sharing and keep it up!
Quick q: in your winter camp vid, what is covering your window? Looks like quilted insulation? Looks classy and clean👌🏽
Hi Leo, Cheers for the sub mate!
The window covers were sent by a instagram buddy from Dubai (I think) unfortunately not 100% certain where they bought them originally. If you search Jimny Campstyle on instagram they’re a company selling nice ones though.
Cheers
Paul
Hi…loving the stuff you’re doing and places you visit. What software do you use to makes such great videos?
Hi Paul,
Thanks man, appreciate it. I shoot everything on an iPhone then edit in premiere pro. I only know the basics right now but have started some editing courses and fancy getting a proper camera set up to try improve the quality. We’ll see!
I am a new Jimny lover/owner and I am learning a lot thanks to your videos, and your website is awsome. Thank you and congrats for the amazing work you are doing.
Thank you! Happy to help.
Hope you enjoy your jimny 🙂
