Overland Gear...
From one Overlander to another, we all know we love gear and trying new items out. Here are some of the brands we favor and have had excellent experience with on our adventures. In addition to designing great products, they are also great to work with and have inspiring Mission & Vision statements for their companies.
Flowfold - Made in the USA. They launched in 2010 with the mission of making everyday gear that is lighter, stronger, and lasts longer. They started with one wallet, and grew to bags, backpacks, totes, pouches, and even dog gear. Their mission statement: To make quality products that improve the everyday lives of the individuals and communities who use them.
I personally use their Minimalist & Vangaurd wallets, Custom Aviator Dopp Kit, Custom Nomad 24 Duffle and the Uhuru Hiking Pack which I think they discontinued
BioLite - "This planet’s future will be shared by all of us - and we're here to make that future bright for everyone. Our vision is to provide 20 million people with access to clean energy and to avoid 3 million tons of CO2e by the year 2025."
I personally use their FirePit, CampStove, SolarPanel 5, HeadLamp, CampStove portable Grill & Camp KettlePot, SiteLights and the older BaseLantern XL
RovR - IT BEGAN ON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT... Which would have been great, except we were hauling stuff from car to campground, and we were on trip fourteen of twenty. So that wasn’t so great. What we needed was an all-terrain, tow-ready, one-size-carries-all, chill-keeper that would let us make it to the campground in a single trip. The moment we dried out, we got to building one. That’s when we started RovR, a company dedicated to the idea of letting you carry more, so you can get to camping faster. Our mission is to bring you gear that helps you go from car to campground as quickly as possible.
I personally use their RollR 60 with the cutting board, bike hitch attachment, and drop bag
RUMPL - BLANKETS FOR EVERYWHERE! When we say everywhere, we mean it. Learn why over half a million customers love Rumpl. Weatherproof, durable, and cozy blankets made with the same technical materials used in premium outdoor gear and activewear.
I personally have and use 4 different RUMPL blankets, 2 in our RV, 1 in my Jeep and the other in the house. I have given several as gifts and they never disappoint.
Kammock - "Our mission is to elevate time outside by designing adventure grade, better made gear."
Adventure grade. We're committed to designing lasting, technical gear to elevate time outside. Our gear allows you to pack less and go further with stronger, lighter fabrics and best-in-class construction. Each Kammok product is backed by our lifetime warranty. Better made. Kammok ensures that the sustainable life cycle of each product begins in production. Every step of the way, we’ve opted for stronger fabrics, cleaner chemicals, and recycled materials, when possible, to minimize our footprint and lengthen the life of our gear. Our mission is driven by our core values of adventure, community, and love. We believe these values make time outside a transformative experience.
Adventure - Our hearts beat the fastest outside of our comfort zones. Big or small, adventure gives us wide eyes and a fresh perspective necessary to seeing the world anew. Community - To seek adventure is one thing, to share the journey with others is another experience entirely. We encourage ourselves and our community to know and be known by others, a great risk with even greater reward. Love - The invisible thread binding each of us together – love is the giving of yourself for the betterment of others. We believe it’s the greatest adventure of all.
I personally use their Mantis All-in-one Hammock Tent
Cliq chairs are worth checking out. Small and comfortable for short people like me!
