Industry Spotlight: EZPack-USA

EZPack-USA, based in California, aims to distribute ECO-friendly, reusable water storage products for outdoor markets such as camping, RV, ATV and off-roading and for home emergency preparedness to assure water supply in case of natural disasters. Using these water containers can prevent countless plastic water bottles being discarded in nature or piling up in landfills.

Industry Spotlight: Body Armor 4×4

An essential part of any Overland setup is a place to sleep. The Body Armor 4X4 Sky Ridge series Pike 2-person roof-top tent is the ultimate in backcountry camping, comfort, and convenience. The covered entrance, skylight and three large view windows with mosquito netting, exterior awnings and interior zip-up closures allow you to easily adjust for privacy, natural light, and airflow.
