Maxpedition Beefy Organizer – Built Like a Tank!

The Maxpedition Beefy Organizer has earned a legendary spot in the EDC community — but is it still the best compact gear pouch out there? In this video, I break down the Beefy’s layout, materials, and real-world usability after months of carrying it in the field.

From multitools and flashlights to cables, batteries, and med gear, we’ll see just how much this pouch can really hold — and whether it deserves a permanent place in your everyday carry lineup.

If you’re into EDC, preparedness, or field gear, this one’s for you.

RV Life Hack: The Antenna Mount That Finally Fixes This Hidden Problem

RV Life Hack: The Antenna Mount That Finally Fixes This Hidden Problem

Tired of fighting with RV antennas every time you park? Me Too! 🤦‍♂️

In this video, I tackle one of the most overlooked but biggest headaches for full-time RVers and ham radio/CB operators: how to mount an antenna without ground radials getting destroyed, space restrictions, or constant setup hassles.

Using a simple trucker mount, a U-bolt, and some lightweight aluminum Unistrut, I’ve built a solution that keeps your antenna secure, portable, and stress-free — no matter where you travel.

👉 Unistrut: https://geni.us/SKFZlz
👉 Perfect U-Bolts for Your A-Frame: https://geni.us/JNAPIH
👉 Chameleon 9.5ft MIL WHIP 2.0 Antenna: https://chameleonantenna.com/mu9s6i
👉 Trucker Mirror Mount for 3/8ths-24 Antennas: https://geni.us/GurB
(The one I showed was made by MFJ (R.I.P.) this will work even better for a single antenna)

Contacts Made while filming: KF9UG, JR2SHA, N3FMC, JH3QMF, JA2INL
Worst Signal Report -20db

🔧 What you’ll learn in this video:
• Why traditional RV antenna setups cause hidden problems
• The simple hardware solution that works everywhere
• How to install it without drilling holes in your rig
• A travel-friendly setup that saves time and frustration

If you’re into RV life, ham radio, or just want a smarter way to stay connected on the road — this video will change the way you think about antennas.

Fiberglass Poles (Short #102)

@stevesummersell_K4WXX is wondering if the grounding plate sold by DX Engineering works with fiberglass military poles. Will the poles interact with the grounding plate?
