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!

Freedom Campers Review | Made in USA Affordable Modular Camper?! : https://youtu.be/Fo97GdZ741s

73 14

After 6 years of testing portable diesel heaters in every condition imaginable, I didn’t think anything could beat my trusted Planar… until now.

In today’s video, I unbox the brand-new Sparks Overland Mini Diesel Heater — a compact powerhouse that’s smaller, lighter, and more efficient than their full-size gas and diesel versions I’ve been testing the last two years.

We’ll go over what’s new, what’s improved, and why this little unit might just change the game for winter camping, overlanding, and off-grid setups.

🔧 SPECS:
• Dimensions: 20 x 12 x 12.5 in
• Weight: 36 lbs (16.3 kg)
• Fuel Tank: 2.2-gallon stainless steel
• Output: 4,000W / 14,000 BTU

If you’ve followed my channel, you know I’ve sworn by the Planar for five straight years… but Sparks Overland just earned my new top spot.

👉 Watch till the end for my first impressions and what I’ll be testing next.

Freedom Campers Off-Road Prototype | Lightweight, Modular, and Built for Adventure : https://youtu.be/B5Zit_IfdV8

What to Look for in a Cold Weather Tent : https://youtu.be/dDyhSLM-8jk

146 21

In this video, I’m back in Lamar, Missouri, where I got to check out something really special — a prototype off-road version of the Freedom Camper.

At the time of this recording, this off-road setup isn’t even listed on their website yet, but if you’re interested, I’d highly recommend giving Freedom Campers a call.

What they’ve done here is take one of their lightweight modular campers — available in three sizes: 48x79, 58x79, and 58x89 — and mount it on a custom-built off-road trailer. The result is an incredibly versatile, budget-friendly, and durable setup that’s ready to go wherever your adventures take you.

During this walkthrough, you’ll see me and one of the owners going over all the details, exploring how this build combines creativity, affordability, and rugged capability.

👉 These campers weigh only around 180 pounds and cost about $3,300–$3,500, making them perfect for anyone looking to build their own off-road trailer or a lightweight overlanding setup without breaking the bank.

If you’re a DIY builder, this camper is your blank slate — customize it, mod it, and make it your own.

Winter camping isn’t for everyone… but if you love the quiet, the crisp air, and the fact that there are ZERO bugs — you get it. Cold-weather camping can be incredible — as long as you have the right tent.

In this video, I’m breaking down what really matters when choosing a tent that can handle freezing temperatures, snow loads, and howling wind. We’ll cover:

- Why the structure and materials of your tent matter more than the brand name
- How insulation and ventilation work together to keep you warm and dry
- The safest and most effective ways to heat your tent (without turning it into a fire hazard)
- And what kind of space and layout make life easier when you’re snowed in for a few days

I’ll also share what I’ve learned after five years of testing tents like the Bereg UP-5, UP-7, and Hexagon through real mountain winters — including what features actually make a difference when the weather turns nasty.

Also on topic, I'll be covering how I heat the various tents I use in winter months using a combination of Bereg Woodstoves and Sparks Overland Diesel and Gas heaters.

If you’re thinking about trying cold-weather camping for the first time — or upgrading from a three-season tent — this video will help you make a smarter choice before you find yourself shivering in a nylon igloo!

Last week I traveled to Lamar, Missouri to take a closer look at Freedom Campers — a modular, scalable camper system I’ve seen at the last two Overland Expos. This time, I was able to spend much more time exploring the different setups and really appreciate just how flexible these campers are.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the features, layouts, and use-case scenarios that make Freedom Campers such a standout option. If you’ve ever felt priced out of a truck bed camper or teardrop trailer, this is a video you won’t want to miss.

👉 What you’ll see in this review:
- Multiple modular configurations from Freedom Campers
- Real-world use case scenarios
- Why this camper is a budget-friendly alternative
- Who this setup is perfect for

If you’re looking for a flexible, affordable entry point into overlanding or weekend adventures, Freedom Campers could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

I’ll also walk you through the setup time on the Sonmez inflatable tents and share a few extra details from camp that might help with your own adventures.

ICECO VL75 ProD Portable Fridge Freezer Review : https://youtu.be/uw9K2Bv_DRw

106 25

After two years of real-world camping trips, snowstorms, coastal winds, and plenty of father-son adventures, it’s time for my honest long-term review of the Sonmez London Discover 360 inflatable tent.

I’ve owned three Sonmez tents, but the London 360 is hands-down my favorite thanks to its perfect balance of size, weight, and durability. In this video, I’ll share what’s held up, what hasn’t, and why I keep coming back to this tent trip after trip.

👉 What I cover in this review:
- Why I prefer the London 360 over larger models like the Maxia 480
- The pros: build quality, panoramic windows, four-season performance
- The cons: wrinkled windows, missing screens, heavy packed weight
- How many people can actually fit comfortably inside (spoiler: not 10!)
Funny stories and real experiences camping with my son in this tent

If you’re looking for a true four-season inflatable tent that’s comfortable, tough, and perfect for making memories, this review will help you decide if the Sonmez London Discover 360 is the right fit for you.
