Coolest Kia Soul that ever was.

I've only seen a few swags readily available in the US; ARB, Kodiak Canvas, and Outback, and those are all 80-84" long. Have you looked into the cot-tent combos from OzTent or Kamp-Rite? They're decent solo shelter solutions, especially under a tarp shelter or awning and I know Kamp-Rite has an...

One could follow those tips with a $30 cooler and be pretty happy with the results. Add in dry ice used intelligently and you can get pretty far without soggy food.

I mentioned it in another thread, but I've recently started using a Big Agnes Dream Island bag. It's a pretty cool blend of technical features and car camping comfort. I don't like mummy bags in general, but I've also had the sheet/blanket setup get drafty. If you haven't checked out the...

Paco pads are right for the river, but that cover material gets hot.

Solid choice. $350 on Amazon right now.

I bought the full size (50"x77") version of that when I couldn't find the ExPed Mega Duo for sale anywhere. It inflates pretty quick through four valves and doesn't really require a top-off from a pump. It's constructed OK, but I think the ExPed version would have been worth the premium for the...

+5 for creativity. -5 for defacing the Subaru.

I use them for stringing up tarps for hammocks and such. Easier to put up and take down than a trucker's hitch.

Plastic/nylon reusable eating utensils. Silicon cooking utensils. Cheap-ish knives with covers/sheaths. Mostly plastic dinnerware. Switching to collapsible silicon bowls.

I feel like the Shiftpod would have serious ventilation issues anywhere in the Southeast.

I've got a cheap bow saw that sees a fair bit of use (east coast). I've cleared some pretty large trees with just the bow saw, a tow strap, and physics to the point that I can't justify carrying my chainsaw around. One day it'll be replaced by a Silky Katanaboy, but it's not that high on The List.

OP, since you've got military/government affiliation, you should sign up with Experticity (formerly ProMotive). I purchased my OzTent and sleep system though them and I'm glad I did. Nemo, Kelty, Big Agnes and a lot of other brands are on there as well if you're looking for outdoors stuff.

I wasn't able to find a different battery pack from ENO. It uses a proprietary plug that looks like a headphone plug rather than a USB plug.

For me, realistically, I'm going to do most of my travel within the contiguous US, where I can only get so remote and many destinations don't get interesting until the end of a long drive on the highway/interstate. Also, my "overland rig" is also the grocery rig. So I lean towards comfort. Less...

I really like the ENO string lights. I just wish there was another power option than the 2AAA battery pack that comes with it.

What's a "cm"? Just kidding. That's actually not too huge for what it is

The level of precision is along the lines of cabinetry, with the added complication of custom fitting it to the vehicle and mounting it securely. I had the help of a master carpenter, who so happens to be my father, and it was still a pain. I had a third row which meant I had no factory...

Totally worth it. Found a near-perfect site off of 981 and enjoyed the clear, cool night.

The drawers in my 5th Gen are home brewed. They're the best "mod" by far. For $500, you'll have to build them yourself. And $200-300 of that is the drawer slides and latches. Once I experienced the level of precision needed to do it right, the time needed to cut and build, and the cost of...
