What do you use for lighting around camp after dark?

I still keep a headlamp handy but I started using an overhead area light this past summer and it's been awesome!

They keep the light out of my eyes and bugs out of my face. And I can turn the light red so my eyes stay adjusted to the dark for stargazing and what not.

Mine is a Devos LightRanger. You can check them out here. 👉 rstr.co/devosoutdoor/oe10

They still have their Black Friday sale going (as I post this) for up to 37% off!

Giant tumblers. Big dumb cups. Emotional support beverages. Whatever you call them — they’re everywhere. 😅 If you use one of these 40oz monsters, would you mind taking my quick poll?

I’m testing a bunch of them right now for an upcoming video, but I need YOUR help picking the People’s Choice Award winner.

I'm especially interested in the opinions of women out there who use these, at that seems to be

The poll is anonymous and only takes 2 minutes. Your vote actually matters for this one 👇

Thanks a ton, can’t wait to see what you all pick!

📢 If you've ever found my videos helpful, or just thought, "Hey, this wasn't terrible," then would you consider subscribing to the channel?

We just launched our Outdoor Empire 100K Giveaway, albeit a tad early (we're manifesting hard right now). We want YOU to be part of it.

We set a goal to hit 100K subscribers by the end of the year and we're so close. With your help, I think we can make it and then the giveaway will make way more sense. Should be fun either way, though.

We’re giving away 100 RTIC can coolers AND if this channel hits 100,000 subscribers by Dec 31, 2025, it unlocks a Grand Prize camping setup worth over $3,000. 🤯

👉 Enter the giveaway and see what's included in the grand prize here: outdoorempire.com/100k-giveaway-signup/

🖖 It would also be super cool if you subscribed to our channel here: youtube.com/@theoutdoorempire?sub_confirmation=1

I explain more in this video if you're interested. 👉 https://youtu.be/iBE9GHcv-a0

Thanks for supporting the channel and (maybe) helping us (for sure) reach this big milestone (hopefully, probably by the end of the year)! 🙌

What did you think of our recent Cooler vs Bear test video?

https://youtu.be/qJ_xJopyxS4

This was one I was really proud of because it matters. I thought learning about the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) product testing process was fascinating. And it was incredibly entertaining to watch (and film) bears clawing, jawing, and pawing at a Blue Cooler for a day!

A huge thanks to the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Montana for their participation, and to Blue Coolers for sponsoring the project so we could make it happen!

Without their support and collaboration, we never would have gotten access to an inside look at this testing process. Blue Coolers helped fund the filming and production, and it's all for a good cause—wildlife conservation.

Even better, the Blue Coolers Ice Vault is now IGBC bear-resistant certified (or it will be soon)!

I've done a lot of testing of Blue Coolers against dozens of other brands, and Blue is always a top performer in ice retention. Plus, it's more affordable than many of the alternatives.

What do you think of the Devos LightRanger 2000 camping area light?

The first time I showed it on the channel was in a video about bougie camping products that are actually awesome. 👉 https://youtu.be/GMFUwCEKq4I

I put it in there just because I had been using it all summer and I really liked it, not because we were paid to do so.

But now I'm happy to announce that Devos Outdoor became a sponsor of Outdoor Empire!

Sponsors help make it possible for us to keep buying more gear to test, make more videos, and spend all of our time helping more people get outdoors with their families.

If you haven't seen the Devos LightRanger yet, here's a sneak peak in a Short.

Thanks to Devos, our subscribers, and all of our viewers for your support!
