The wait is OVER… PF Bereg just released their legendary UP Series tents (UP-2, UP-5, and UP-7) in an all-new BEIGE color, and trust me — this changes EVERYTHING.

For years, the UP Series has only been available in a camo pattern. Many of you have asked for a clean, solid-color version, and PF Bereg listened. This new beige option is absolutely gorgeous in person and gives the tent a refined, premium look while keeping all the durability, features, and cold-weather performance these tents are famous for.

In today’s video, my son and I are camping overnight in the new beige UP tent, and I’m giving you a full walk-around tour, showing:

-The unique engineering behind the UP Series
-Why these tents perform so well in brutal conditions
-The thermal benefits of double walls
-Stove compatibility
-Windows, vents, zippers, skirt system, and more
-What makes this one of the best cold-weather tents on the market

If you’ve been waiting for PF Bereg to drop a non-camo version of the UP tent… this is the video you’ve been waiting for.

For six years straight, the Planar diesel heater has been the undefeated champion in my overlanding setup. I’ve tested a ton of heaters — diesel, gasoline, cheap Amazon units, premium brands — and nothing has ever come close to knocking Planar from the #1 spot.

Until now.

In this video, I put the Planar head-to-head against the Sparks Overland diesel heater — a system that has quietly been creeping into the top ranks of the heating world. After extensive field testing, winter trips, abuse, and side-by-side evaluation, I can finally say it… right now today...

👉 Sparks Overland built the best portable diesel heater on the market.

I’ll walk you through:
Build quality & design differences
Why the Sparks heater is more efficient
What shocked me most about both systems
And the single feature that made me switch

If you’ve followed my channel for any amount of time, you know I’ve been a Planar evangelist for YEARS. So trust me when I say this:

It takes a LOT to dethrone the king.

Last weekend I took the Elk Mountain Tents YUKON 20' Bell Tent up to Big Bear, California for what I thought would be a normal winter camping review.
Instead… Mother Nature threw everything at us.

🌬 41mph wind gusts
❄️ Snowfall throughout the night
🔥 Full overnight runs of the PF Bereg wood stove
⚡ Extended testing of the Sparks Overland 4kW Mini Diesel Heater

This wasn’t just a casual weekend getaway — it turned into a full-on torture test of one of Elk Mountain Tent’s most popular bell tents.

And honestly?
This tent impressed me far more than I expected.

In this video, I cover:
• Full walkthrough of the Elk Mountain YUKON bell tent
Layout, materials, build details, setup notes, ventilation, and features you should know before buying.

• Real-world performance in extreme wind & winter conditions
41mph gusts pushed this tent harder than any bell tent I’ve tested — and it held rock solid.

• Overnight heating test with two heaters
PF Bereg Wood Stove — first heavy overnight burn. Outstanding heat retention, incredible draft, and steady performance all night long.

Sparks Overland 4kW Mini Diesel Heater — compact, powerful, and absolutely clutch in sub-freezing temps.

• The pros & cons of the Yukon 20' Bell Tent
• Who this tent is best for

Overlanders, hunters, winter campers, basecamp setups, families, and anyone who needs a large weather-ready shelter that can run a wood stove safely.

After six months of real-world use, I’m sharing my honest thoughts on the Howl R1. With massive 32-inch flames, an incredibly compact frame, and unmatched fuel efficiency, the Howl R1 has honestly redefined what a portable campfire can be.

In this in-depth review, I cover how the R1 performs on the trail, at camp, and everywhere in between. From its rugged stainless steel construction and A-Flame burner design to its ability to burn all night on a single tank, this fire pit delivers serious performance in a surprisingly small package.

Whether you’re into overlanding, RV travel, van life, or just want a clean, safe, and efficient way to enjoy a campfire year-round, the Howl R1 might be the perfect addition to your setup!

Watch to find out how it’s held up after six months, what I love most about it, and a few things you should know before buying.

In today’s video, Rick and I install the TRUKD A-Series 16.5" Bed Rack on a 2025 Toyota Tundra — a made-in-the-USA, modular system that’s quickly becoming one of the best overlanding racks on the market.

This rack is strong, versatile, and built from aerospace-grade aluminum and 304 stainless steel, with the quality and design refinement that TRUKD has become known for.

We’ll walk you through the entire install — which only took about two hours, cameras and all — then show you how clean the final setup looks.

👉 In an upcoming follow-up video, I’ll break down my real-world thoughts after two weeks of testing, share how it performs on-trail, and what makes TRUKD one of the top American-made rack systems for serious overlanders.

Hey friends — Alex here. I headed out to Joshua Tree this past weekend for a quick shakedown run to test out two new cold-weather tools: the brand-new Bereg wood stove and the Sparks Overland Mini Diesel Heater.

Now, I’ve been using the Bereg UP7 tent for a few months and already know what it can handle — but this trip was all about seeing how these new heat sources perform together before true winter camping begins.

In this video, I’m doing more talking-to-camera than usual, sharing perspective on:

*The confusion surrounding authentic Bereg tents vs. China-made clones
* How the new Bereg wood stove performs inside the UP7
* Why shake-down testing is one of the most important steps before heading into freezing conditions
* And my thoughts on cold-weather camping — my personal favorite time of year to get out

The temps in Joshua Tree only dipped into the mid-40s, which made it a perfect safe environment to test and dial in these new systems. Both crushed expectations, and I’ve got deeper-dive videos coming soon where I’ll push them in true winter conditions.

After two years of real-world use across the rugged landscapes of the American Southwest, I’m sharing my honest two-year review of the MORRFlate TenSix PSI Pro Gen 2 portable air compressor. From high mountain passes to desert trails, this compressor has been my go-to for fast, reliable tire inflation after long days on the trail. I’ll walk through the key features, real-world performance, and the Gen 2 upgrades that make this unit a standout for overlanders, off-roaders, and campers alike.

I’ll also break down how pairing it with the MORRFlate 4 Tire Inflation & Deflation Kit transforms it from a strong performer into a true trailhead timesaver. If you’re looking for a compressor that combines speed, durability, and ease of use, this review will help you decide if the TenSix PSI Pro Gen 2 is the right fit for your setup.

Have questions about how it performs in specific conditions or with different rigs? Drop them in the comments, and I’ll share my firsthand experience!
