Nomad Grills
NOMAD packs heaps of innovation & practical utility making it the perfect portable provision for tailgating, camping, hunting, fishing, beach-going, backyard barbecuing or patio perching. I never thought I’d cook ribs while camping, but Nomad Grills makes it possible and they came out perfect!
Nomadix Towels
Made with the highest quality materials, it’s designed to replace your separate towels for camping, yoga, beach and travel. Light, packable, versatile, sustainable: some of the many reasons it’s the only towel you need.
DIY Teardrop Plans
Want to give a gift that will keep giving? Our DIY teardrop plans will do just that! From the best DIY project you’ll take on, to making memories for years to come. We still travel in the first camper we built together and every trip is a gift in itself.
Skottle Grill
The TemboTusk Skottle can be used to cook anything at home or while camping, tailgating at a game or just to get you out of the kitchen and outdoors! It’s like cooking on a shallow, cast iron wok!
Patagonia Down Sweater Hoody
We have both had these jackets for 6 years and have brought them on every single trip we take! They are so warm, yet pack down into their own pocket for easy storage in a tiny camper. They come in men’s and women’s, as well as without a hood.
MoonShade
MoonShade is a portable awning that offers reliable coverage from rain or sun. With a variety of anchoring systems, it sets up easily and attaches to almost any sturdy structure. No roof rack required!
GCI Outdoor Freestyle Rocker Camp Chair
Portable folding chair quickly and easily folds flat for simple storage and transportation. Delivers smooth rocking motion anywhere outdoors.
Radius Outfitters Tool Roll & Gear Boxes
We have two gear boxes, a tool roll, and a large organizer from Radius Outfitters. The gear boxes keep our truck bed organized during our road trips. We like to use the 3000 for camera gear and the 5500 for all the miscellaneous items that would otherwise be floating around the car.
My Medic First Aid Kit
This kit has everything you could need if an accident were to happen while camping, especially if you like to get away from civilization like us.
Jackery Power Station
An essential on our long road trips. It keeps all of our large devices charged without draining the teardrop battery. Plus it can move with us wherever we decide to work for the day, so we aren’t restricted to one spot when it’s time to plug in.
Jet Boil
Take with you anywhere. You’ll truly have boiled water in what feels like an instant. Not only do we use it every day for coffee and to boil water for any meals, but our Geyser Shower is heated by hot water from our Jet Boil.
Geyser water systems
Using 10x less water than a standard camp shower, the Geyser System is hyper-efficient and promotes water conservation. This was a new piece of gear for us this year and let me tell you, we were much cleaner on this road trip than any before!
Mounted Privacy Tent
This privacy tent mounts to a roof rack to use for showers and changing. Quick and easy setup, simply unzip, fold out and stake down. You may be thinking “I don’t need a privacy tent if I’m off the grid”. But when you’re wet in the shower, getting out of any wind/breeze makes it MUCH more enjoyable! (Our exact tent is out of stock, but we linked a similar one for you.)
Movie Projector
The Vankyo 470 Leisure projector is a great option for a fun movie night camping, or even cozy in the living room. The display is clear and bright, and there’s a speaker already in the device.
Berkinstocks
These are the perfect camp sandal. We prefer the Arizona style to wear with or with out socks. There is also a rubber version if you want them to double as shower shoes.
Aventon Ebikes
We’re going to finish this list with a bang! We recently got the Sinch Foldable Ebikes from Aventon and are so happy with them! They fold, so we can transport them in the teardrop, truck bed, or even Paige’s Crosstrek. As Nola’s gotten older and had her fair share on injuries, she can’t run as we ride bikes any more. The pedal assist helps tow her in her cart, and also allows us to spend more time riding the trails with out getting jello legs. It also comes in a step-through model which Paige opted for.
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas with the ones you love most!
