A crossover checklist for outdoor + family life.
Work doesn’t get your whole week. Neither should packing. Build one grab‑and‑go kit that crushes the parking lot, the fire ring, and the sideline—without breaking a sweat. Our whole brand exists to bridge industrial‑grade performance with outdoor lifestyle, so your gear pulls double duty wherever your weekend takes you.
Work Hard. Play Hard. Live Cool. That’s the mission—on the clock and off it.
The Crossover Checklist (Pack Once. Do It All.)
Stay‑Cool Core
-
Fan‑Cooled Vest — quiet fans, long battery life; designed to keep you ~3° cooler in 10 minutes so you last longer in the heat. From jobsite to tailgate, it’s your not‑so‑secret weapon.
-
Extra battery pack or power bank (USB‑compatible) for all‑day airflow.
-
Moisture‑wicking tee + lightweight long sleeve (sun + evening temp swings).
-
Brimmed hat + SPF 30+ sunscreen.
-
Insulated water bottles + electrolyte packets (heat safety matters).
Comfort & Seating
-
2–4 collapsible chairs (with cup holders)
-
Stadium cushion / bleacher pad
-
Packable blanket (water‑resistant bottom)
Shade & Weather
-
Pop‑up canopy or reflective sun tarp
-
Compact umbrella
-
Light wind jacket / mid‑layer hoodie
Food & Fire
-
Soft‑sided cooler (label “drinks”) + hard cooler (label “food”)
-
Grill tool roll: tongs, spatula, meat thermometer, opener
-
Fire‑safe starter + lighter; roasting sticks; heat‑resistant gloves
-
Trash bags + compostable wipes
Power & Light
-
Headlamps (one per person) + lantern
-
Car inverter or extra power bank
-
Short extension cord + charging cables
Tools & Fix‑Its
-
Multi‑tool + duct tape + zip ties
-
Compact first‑aid kit
-
Insect repellent + after‑bite
Sideline & Family Extras
-
Ball pump + spare laces + tape
-
Team blanket / hot‑hands for cold mornings
-
Snacks that don’t melt + leak‑proof lunch boxes

Ear protection for littles (and big games)
Pro tip: Build two clear bins—“Base Camp” (chairs, shade, tools) and “Cold Ops” (coolers, food, drinks). Bins go from truck to tailgate to campsite to field without rearranging your whole life.
Dial It In for Each Scene
Tailgate Loadout (Game Day Mode)
Add: team flag, grill fuel, serving board, condiments caddy.
Keep: fan‑cooled vest for setup/teardown in the heat—quiet fans mean you can still talk plays without shouting.
Campfire Loadout (Slow‑Down Mode)
Add: cast‑iron pan, pour‑over kit, marshmallows, deck of cards.
Keep: headlamps, multi‑tool, and that all‑weather blanket for late‑night story time.
Sideline Loadout (Team‑Parent Mode)
Add: roster clipboard, extra water jug, shade tent sidewalls, clip‑on misting fan.
Keep: stadium cushions, snacks, first‑aid, and your vest for early‑morning setup and noon‑sun kickoff. Heat safety isn’t optional.
