The much-anticipated return of Netflix's Outer Banks season 4 is around the corner, with part one dropping on the streamer October 10 and part two following on November 7. That's right: Chase Stokes will be back on our TV screens as lovable protagonist John B before you can say "Pogues for life." If you can't wait (we get it), fans can see the 32-year-old actor embodying a very different role as Peris in the dystopian Netflix film, Uglies, which premiered earlier this month.

Good Housekeeping caught up with Chase (and his adorable golden retriever and German shepherd mix, Milo) to chat about some of the actor's favorite things. And yes, we also got the scoop on Milo's must-haves.

From problem-solving tech to his essential for keeping cozy on set, Chase revealed the products that he has on hand at work, at home and when hanging out with Milo. You could even say we found the treasure.
