Geordie Jimny > Gear > A full list of links to camping and Jimny Modification products

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.

A few items were donated to the channel in return for work creating install videos or sharing the use of products I highly rate in my videos.

Power & Refrigeration

PowerOak EB55 537wh Power Station – Essential item that powers the fridge and charing of devices.

Cadac 2 Cook 2 Pro – I like the extra grill plates you get. Lights well but I would prefer it if it had a better simmer control.

    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…?

    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 !

    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

      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!

    Hi Geordie, where can I find your wood fire station, don‘t know how to name it exactly.
    Maybe fire basket. Am I too blind to find it in your equipment list? ????

    I rally enjoyed your last video (as always ????). I‘m currently looking for some camping components for my trip with my jimny and roof tent. In Germany it‘s very often not allowed to use open fire outside. Because of sparks. But there is a small law gap if you use a fire basket that reduces the number of sparks a lot. So I would be very happy if you could help me out with your fire pit solution. ????????

    Thanks in advance and have a great weekend.

      Hi Patrick! Thank you 🙂 Apologies the fire pit isn’t in the links yet I’ll update this page soon.

      It’s called a biolite fire pit +

      Really awesome piece of kit!

      Regards
      Paul
