The Original Fire Reflector by MC Ranch Overland concentrates heat and light back onto the user. It also helps conserve resources as wind is blocked and doesn’t burn the wood faster.

Let’s face it, camp stove technology has remained pretty static for decades. In fact, I still use a “very popular green camp stove” on my overland travels. From my experience you tend to get one type of burner on any camp stove on the market…Hellfire missile.

Rooftop tents are awesome. They provide an easy-to-use and comfortable sleeping platform for virtually any overland rig. They have one potential downside, however: accessibility.
