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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
