Baking off-grid with the Omnia Oven from Sweden
One of the many things we enjoy about Overland travel is our ability to eat well. In our vehicle, we have a fridge, two burner stove with a bomber skillet and a propane cylinder. Pretty much everything we need for great meal preparations. We’ve tried different “camp ovens” in the past with limited success and were […]
Coleman Camp Oven Review: Is it worth $50?
Falling under one of my 3 pillars of successful overland travel, “good food”, the Coleman Camp Oven may be the next item we add to our Overland loadout. The other 2 pillars are “comfortable sleep” and “epic locations” if anyone was curious. Anyhow, back to “good food”. With the limited space available in our FJ […]

Nitecore’s TM20K | Ultra High Performance Tactical Search Light
In a sea of LED flashlights, there are only a few companies that keep raising the bar in both quality and value. Nitecore is one of those companies. We recently got our hands on one of the brightest handheld lights we’ve tested to date. Considering its size, the TM20K handheld tactical searchlight is a true […]
Nomad Cooking Kit | Folding Travel Knives from Opinel of France
In the quest to fine tune our Overland kit, we constantly come across unique items that find their way into our lives. Lately, we’ve been downsizing. We switched from a full-sized Tundra to a much smaller FJ Cruiser. Now, with this smaller platform, we must also downsize what we pack. As I look to our […]
Arlington National Cemetery | A Soldiers Reflection
It’s April 13, 2017, my alarm breaks the silence at 0700 sharp. I roll out of bed and sit upright, realizing the floor beneath my feet isn’t that of my home. The windows are in the wrong location, the ceiling too high, nothing feels right. Moments pass as I gather my thoughts and recall exactly […]
Side Sleeping with Nemo’s new Fillo King Camping Pillow
If you’re like me, and a large percentage of the human race, you prefer to sleep on your side. I try to avoid falling asleep on my back in fear of snoring my wife awake. Or even waking myself from a comfortable slumber. So I typically roll onto my side, curl up and drift off […]
Shooting the Proof Research Carbon Barrel for the Ruger Precision Rifle
The Ruger Precision Rifle is a very accurate, affordable and capable rifle right out of the box. Advertising sub minute of angle accuracy from the factory cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. Having shot almost 1000 rounds through the trusty steel barrel, I can concur with Rugers accuracy claims. Attending several long-range shooting classes at […]
Joolca Hottap | Portable hot water heater | Part 1
Awhile back I introduced the HOTTAP v2 from Joolca to our readers. Well, I finally received my Nomad Kit from them and started tinkering around with it. I basically went through an unscripted first set-up in the garage with the sink. Followed by the shower in the back yard just to see how it all worked. […]
Upgrading the Glock 19 with Olights BALDR S Light Laser Combo
I recently finished a block of training with my Trusty Glock 19. Although we focused on the addition of the Red Dot Sight from Holosun, one phrase kept coming up. “We don’t shoot in the dark”. Not implying that we don’t shoot at night. Just that we don’t shoot at something or someone we can’t […]
