Over the last 4 weeks, I’ve been exclusively testing the TRP4x4 Mammoth 40L Freezer Fridge on my overlanding trips, including this trip up near Big Bear, California.

In this video, I break down everything you need to know about this fridge - including build quality, performance, power consumption, and whether the manufacturer’s claims about fast cooling actually hold up in real-world conditions.

This isn’t a spec-sheet review. This is real-world testing from someone who relies on gear like this in the field.

I’ll show you:

• Cooling performance and speed
• Real-world power consumption
• Build quality and design
• Noise levels
• Usability in actual camping conditions
• What I like
• Whether I recommend it

If you’re considering a portable fridge for overlanding, camping, or off-grid travel, this will help you decide if the TRP4x4 Mammoth is worth it.

Last Thursday, Caleb and I drove up to a quiet spot we discovered the week prior to test out the Montana Canvas Bridger Tent in real-world conditions.

In this video, I walk you through the complete setup process, give you a full interior and exterior tour, and show you exactly how I configured the tent with my typical cold-weather camping gear. Montana Canvas has built a strong reputation over the years for producing high-quality canvas tents, and the Bridger Tent is designed to be a versatile option for overlanders, campers, and anyone looking for a durable, long-term shelter solution.

But as always, I wanted to test it myself and see how it performs in the field.

In this video, I cover:

• Complete Montana Canvas Bridger Tent setup from start to finish
• Full walkthrough of the tent’s design and features
• My interior gear setup for comfort and cold-weather camping
• Build quality, materials, and overall craftsmanship
• What I really like about this tent
• A few things I think could be improved
• Who this tent is best suited for

Canvas tents have become increasingly popular among overlanders and campers looking for durability, comfort, and four-season capability. After spending time with the Bridger Tent, I can see why Montana Canvas has earned the reputation they have.

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 6-Month Review
https://youtu.be/Hs8mZMhwPb8

55 8

Last weekend, my son and I headed up near Big Bear to set up and test the Elk Mountain 13x16 Wall Tent with Awning, and I have to say, this tent represents a completely different level of camping.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the full setup process, share my first impressions, and give you a detailed walkaround of all the features. I’ll also cover what I like, what I don’t like, and who this tent is really designed for.

Large wall tents like this aren’t just tents, they create a true basecamp experience. Whether you're heading out with your family for a weekend in the mountains, setting up a comfortable long-term hunting camp, or simply want a shelter that feels more like a cabin than a tent, wall tents offer a level of comfort, space, and durability that’s hard to match.

Unlike traditional camping tents, wall tents allow you to stand up, move around freely, bring proper beds, heaters, and gear, and stay comfortable regardless of the weather. For hunters, overlanders, and families alike, this kind of setup transforms camping from “roughing it” into something far more enjoyable and sustainable.

In this video, you’ll see:

- Full setup of the Elk Mountain 13x16 Wall Tent with Awning
- Detailed walkaround and feature breakdown
- My honest first impressions
- What I like and don’t like so far
- Why wall tents are one of the best investments for serious camping or hunting

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay powered off-grid or are looking for a reliable solution for camping, RVing, or emergencies, this review covers everything you need to know. I also dive into what makes the Elite 200 V2 different from other power stations, how it encourages smarter energy management, and why it’s become a game-changer on my trips.

This past weekend I headed up to Running Springs near Big Bear, California to set up and field test the Davis Tent 10x10 Go Tent for the very first time.

In this video, I walk through the full setup process, show the key features of the Go Tent, and share my initial pros and cons after spending real time with it in cold mountain conditions.

See more on Davis Go Series Tents: https://www.davistent.com/go-tent/

This trip also gave me a chance to continue testing several pieces of gear in a real-world environment, including:

- GoFluxx LED camp lights: https://gofluxx.com/
- Aeronaut Hoverquilt: https://aeronautoutdoor.com/
- TRP4x4 Mammoth 40L fridge (only 15 lbs despite the name!): https://trp4x4.com/

The Mammoth fridge in particular really surprised me — it’s incredibly lightweight for its size, making it a great option for overlanding and mobile camp setups.

This isn’t a studio review — it’s a first-time setup and honest field test in real conditions, exactly how I evaluate gear before making any long-term recommendations.

In this video, Rick installs a set of TRUKD V2 12.5” Accessory Panels on our 2025 Toyota Tundra, adding even more functionality to the TRUKD bed rack already on the truck.

These full-length molle-style panels span from crossbar to crossbar and instantly open up new storage and mounting options for overlanders, campers, and anyone building a serious adventure rig. The install is fast, clean, and delivers immediate real-world benefits.

We walk through the installation process, fitment on the Tundra, and show how these panels can be used to mount gear like:

- Rotopax fuel and water containers
- Quickfist clamps
- Traction boards
- Hi-Lift jacks
And more

The TRUKD V2 panels are built from 3/16” powder-coated aluminum, designed to handle real trail use without rust or flex. They adjust in 2.5-inch increments for flexible crossbar positioning and bolt directly onto TRUKD 12-inch brackets by replacing the stock faceplates.

Panel Specs:
• Material: 3/16” Aluminum
• Length options: 52” or 64”
• Finish: Textured Black Powder Coat
• Compatible with 12”, 18”, or 24” TRUKD bed rack heights
• Works with 1/4-20 bolts, 1/2” bolts, and wide washer mounts

If you’re building a 2025 Toyota Tundra for overlanding or serious off-road use, rock sliders are one of the most important upgrades you can make — and in this video, we’re getting a step-by-step install done by Rick using Rockslide Engineering rock sliders.

Rock sliders aren’t just cosmetic. They protect some of the most vulnerable parts of your truck, help you clear obstacles on the trail, and add real-world functionality for both off-road travel and daily use. In this install video, I walk through why rock sliders matter, what makes a good set worth investing in, and how they transform the capability and durability of a modern overland build.

Whether you’re running technical trails, exploring remote backcountry routes, or simply want to protect your investment, rock sliders are one of those upgrades most experienced off-roaders wish they had done sooner.

In this video, you’ll see:
- Rockslide Engineering rock sliders installed on a 2025 Toyota Tundra
- See step-by-step installation
- The real benefits of rock sliders for overlanding and off-road driving
- Why sliders protect your truck and improve trail confidence

If you’re planning an off-road build, this is one upgrade that delivers both protection and performance.
