2024 Highlight Side Bay in northwest Vancouver Island was truly magical, and the iKamper Campout was full of joy, including the journey back and forth.
Next Big Thing A new rig with a fresh setup. Transitioning from off-roading with a lifted truck to road-tripping and overlanding with an old-school SUV.
"The Utility Bag has been a game-changer for our camping setup. It’s super handy for keeping all our kitchen essentials—cutlery, tools, spices, coffee, and tea—organized and easy to grab. I love knowing that everything has its place, which makes packing and unpacking a breeze."

Bio Ranger and I are all about sharing all our adventures throughout Arizona and beyond. We love escaping out of the heat to Northern Arizona to camp off the grid. Another goal of mine is to take Ranger to as many National Parks as possible and share all the dog friendly activities with my followers.

"The HC Steps are essential for camping with my 70-pound German Shorthaired Pointer, Ranger. They make it super easy for us to climb into our tent, and are better for both of our joints! After a dusty weekend, they clean up easily and fold right up for easy storage on the RTT’s ladder. Honestly, they’re a must-have, whether you’ve got a pet or just want a better way to get in and out of your tent!"

“I never thought I’d be an apron person, but the iKamper Apron has totally changed my mind. Of course it keeps my clothes protected from grease and spills, but I really love that it’s made from recycled tent materials! It’s practical, eco-friendly, and adds a bit of style to my camp cooking setup.”

“The Insulation Tent has been breakthrough for fall and winter camping in the desert! It does an incredible job of keeping the heat in and the cold out, making a huge difference when the temps start dropping. Setup and takedown is really quick, and it’s definitely become an essential for those chilly nights.”

David Jenkins
Bio After leaving the Army, I spent 2.5 years in the corporate world, but it was my weekend escapes that kept me going. I soon realized I didn’t belong there, so with a small audience already built, I left my job to become a full-time content creator. A year and a half later, I’ve grown a lot and I’m happier than ever!

2024 Highlight I visited Utah for the first time this year with some good friends and it was incredible!
Next Big Thing Montana is top of my list for places to visit so I need to make that happen next year. Hopefully multiple times.
“The SkyCamp DLX Mini has leveled up my camping experience. The quick setup, built-in lighting, and ultra-comfy mattress make my nights truly restful. Pairing the exterior DLX lighting with the Claymore Ultra2 has been a great combo—not only does it power the tent’s integrated lights, but it also adds extra lighting for those late-night arrivals at camp.”
