Summer Gear Guide: What to Pack for the River, the Ranch, and the Road

Summer Gear Guide: What to Pack for the River, the Ranch, and the Road

The Texas heat waits for no man. Whether you're knee-deep in river water, fixing fence posts at the ranch, or chasing sunsets down backroads, your gear better be ready for it. At Overholt Supply Co., we don’t do disposable. We do dependable. So here’s your no-fluff guide to what to pack this summer—built for the river, the ranch, and the road.

🏞 River-Ready Essentials

Because floating the river is a Texas tradition—and a test of your gear.

  • Duck Camo Richardson Hat
    Shields your face, makes you look like you know what you're doing, and dries fast enough to wear home.

  • Quick-Dry OSC Tees
    Lightweight, breathable, and soft enough to nap in post-float. No sticky cling when wet, no heavy cotton drag.

  • Canvas Tote or Backpack
    Toss in your towel, snacks, flask, and speaker—this bag doesn’t mind a little water and doesn’t scream “tourist.”

  • Lulubelle Co. Tumbler
    Keeps your drinks cold all day. River-tested. Bear-proof? Probably not. But it’ll survive you.

  • Texas Salt Co. Jerky
    When your stomach starts asking questions, this answers with spice, smoke, and satisfaction.

🤠 Ranch-Ready Gear

Whether you're working cattle or working the grill, here’s what stands up to the sweat and sun.

  • Full-Grain Leather Wallet
    Handmade in-house. Slim enough to keep in your back pocket while riding, and tough enough to last longer than your truck.

  • Overholt Leather Belt
    Built to outlast belt loops and hold up your jeans through every damn chore on the list.

  • Cowboy Roast Coffee
    Roasted bold, brewed black, and built for early mornings before the rest of the world gets moving.

  • Patch Hats with Attitude
    Like “Wrangle Your Own Damn Attitude”—because you don’t have to say it out loud if your hat already did.

  • OSC Tees
    They don’t shrink, they don’t sag, and they get better with age—kind of like you.

🛻 Road Trip Gear

You don’t need much—but what you bring better pull its weight.

  • Overholt Logo Tee
    Broken-in softness for long-haul comfort. Wear it at the diner, the dive bar, and the family photo op.

  • Big Bend Leather Notebook Cover
    For maps, whiskey recipes, or that business idea you’ve been sitting on. Toss it in your glovebox and thank yourself later.

  • Cocktail Smoking Chips
    Turn that basic Airbnb drink into a full-blown experience. Add smoke. Add class. Add stories.

  • Canvas Dopp Kit
    Rugged enough to get tossed around but sharp enough for you to feel like a grown man.

  • MBC Beard Oil
    Because smelling like campfire is good. Smelling like three-day sweat isn’t.

Don’t Just Pack Light—Pack Right

This summer, don’t settle for whatever big box stores are pushing. Bring gear that’s made with grit. That holds up. That tells a story.
